The Rihanna assault picture has been released. If Chris Brown were a smart man, he would probably flee the US for awhile and lay low. For a few years or so. Because he won’t have a career left when these make the rounds. Warning** The picture is graphic. (Photo below)

TMZ has obtained a photo of Rihanna taken after allegedly beaten by Chris Brown. We’ve put photos of Rihanna at a better time and the battered photo so you can compare the two side by side.

There are also reports that Rihanna’s camp is even thinking about an attempted murder charge. They might get it if those dark spots on both sides of her neck are bruises. It’s hard to tell if it is shadows or bruises…what do you think?

Compare that picture with a good Rihanna picture. Is her nose swollen too?

I can’t think of any excuse why making another person look like this would be acceptable. It doesn’t have anything to do with gender either…a man shouldn’t be beat to look like this
