TMZ post picture of beaten Rihanna

TMZ has posted a photo it claims shows Rihanna after an alleged beating by Chris Brown, though its authenticity is unconfirmed and police are investigating the leak.

US c'leb website TMZ has posted a photo which it claims shows Rihanna after her beating from thuggish ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

It's not been confirmed if the photo is genuine, though it does show someone who looks like Rihanna with lots of bruises and scratches to her face.

Police haven't confirmed whether the photo is real, though have announced they have launched an investigation into how photos taken for evidence as part of a domestic violence case have been leaked to the press, which I think means they must be the real deal. TMZ haven't said how they got the photo.

Of course a bigger question than the source of the TMZ photo is whether you can resist the temptation to click on this link and look at it.

As previously reported, police continue to investigate the Rihanna/Brown incident that followed a pre-Grammy party earlier this month.

Rihanna, meanwhile, is keeping a low profile even though it's believed she has now returned from her native Barbados, where she was recuperating with her family, to the US. Brown, I think, is continuing to consult God on the whole affair. No word on whether God reads TMZ.com.
