UPDATE: The real bruised picture of Rihanna was released.

Rihanna Bruised Picture (a clear fake)
As I’m sure you can already tell, I do a lot of search trends monitoring. Guess what? More people are looking for latest celeb screw ups than actual usefull information these days. For content creators its a great way to get traffic, no matter how horrible the trend.
Ever since the Chris Brown and Rihanna story broke, search trends have been exploding around them, with of course lots of people looking for the bruised photos of Rihanna.
The one above is a pretty bad fake, and hopefully for Rihanna’s sake the real ones never make their way out. I see a lot of horrible examples of human behavor via search trends, this is no different. Sometimes I just have to wonder why.
Of course this post is likely to get a few 1000 views from the same folks, sorry to disappoint. For me its fun just to see how many of you I can snag via Google, complain away in the comments please.

chris brown is not a man u do not hit women at all i don’t care what happens he is a lil bitch

Thanks Sean. I thought I understood that the picture on the left depicting Rihanna with a bruised face, is actually photo shopped or something & the right side shot is the actual picture. Am I right?
I guess my confusion comes from the comment above me, where she’s hating Chris for what he’s done. I guess that’s your point, right?

Since I wasn’t there I don’t really know what happened. I appreciate you showing the real and the doctored pic. If it is true I hope they both get the help they need. Sad to see this in such young, intelligent people.

I’ve seen this – first of all, do you think Rihanna’s camp would let her go out in public and risk being photographed considering the extent of her injuries? Doubtful. Besides, it looks fake to me anyway. On a different note, whoever doctored up the original had a good idea – I bet they got a TON of traffic.

OMG dat iz so fake she probly done dat ha self knowing ha. Cause how could dat sexy boy chris brown do somethin like dat to a girll he waz daitn and do dat and he got ha pregnat she know he did not do all dat so why she wnant to say dat but it iz funny if he did do it cause u could not see him doin somethin like dat to a girllllll.

” do not judge lest ye be judged ” simple as that
he’s been proven guilty of nothing so far
and people are already making threats and sabatoging his career
honestly, im a true fan of chris brown
i plan to stick by him
he made a public apology
he’s sorry
if kobe bryant , lindsay ,r kelly , neyo and eveyr other celeb that has
screwed up can be forgiven
why not him ? he’s still young and so talented. give him a chance
-rm

I dont much about rihanna but i can say wuz da p0int 0f gettin pissed off bcuz chris was cheating she wuz doin her dirt 0n da side 2. I kn0 a man is n0t 2 put his hands 0n a female but females shouldnt b hittin 0n them either. So if chris did hit her 0h well she g0t what wuz c0min 2 her. Chris i l0v how you dance and sing but u must keep in mind that u r n da entertainment w0rld s0 watch what you do and say. M0ve 0n i kn0 u can do better d0nt let this bring you down. Rihanna should have been safe fuckin s0mebody else n0w she gav u std u cant get rid of. I l0ve you man dis shit makes me want 2 cry bye h0pe u get 2 read this

Okay so I’m pretty ashamed of some of the people who left comments. NO ONE deserves to be hit or beat up. No matter what she did, she did not deserve to be beat up. Just because Chris can sing and dance doesn’t make it okay if he did in fact hurt her. For those of you who says she deserved it, how would you like to be beat up? huh? Would you deserve it just because you messed up? Think about that before you start saying that she deserved it. Also, please try to abstain from stupidity. Chris Brown is not, under any circumstaces going to read this blog. So, to the person above, don’t say I hope you get to read this. That’s just pure stupidity. Also, the pics are dumb. Someone wanted some attention so they photoshopped this. Think about what I said.

yea, real photos of busted up rihana are up in TMZ…
investigation into the internal leak, and a statement by the LAPD is also released
it’s pretty bad :/

February 20th, 2009 at 6:21 pm

i cannot believe the things some people can say. your thinking with your emotions and not your heads. we are not living in the dark ages. no man has the right to hit a woman at all. just because CB is a star it doesn’t what he did is justified. i will forever see him as a woman beater
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:09 am
wwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooowwwwwwww i would fell ashamed
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:10 am
wwwwwooooooooo thats nott good now every one is going to make this a big deal of it hahaha bye bye rihanna

this is a report fm CNN a few days after the incident:
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — The LAPD’s chief investigator in case, Detective Deshon Andrews, told CNN he hand-carried his findings to the district attorney Tuesday afternoon.
Prosecutors looked at the files and then asked Andrews for “an additional investigation,” DA spokeswoman Jane Robinson said.
Andrews said that to keep photos and documents from leaking to the media, he has kept the case file closely guarded and allowed no copies of the material to be made.
Hmmm, somethings aren’t adding up & the ? is, if this pic is authentic, just how did he get leaked Detective Andrews?
The better ? is can some1 explain how this victim got 2 exact horizontally paralleled knots on her forehead. I can’t see phantom even for a well practiced boxer, that’s difficult esp since the 1st punch should have knocked her out!

Look, if she knowingly gave him an STD, without his knowledge, then she can be charged. Bottom line is, if he beat her, he needs to go to jail. She is a beautiful creature, he is a dumbass.
March 6th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Also, some of “you people” need to learn to speak and write.
March 13th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
