Latest on the Chris Brown/Rihanna dispute!
Update 1: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Rihanna’s injuries were severe — two “huge contusions” which swelled up on both sides of her forehead. We’re told she also suffered “a bloody lip and nose.”
One of the law enforcement people put it this way — the contusions “look like an MMA fighter or something … [It] looked like she was growing devil’s horns.”
We’ve also heard that Rihanna may have suffered bite wounds on one of her legs and arms, however, one source close to the situation tells us he doubts that is the case.
Chris Brown has been booked on a felony criminal threats charge. If the D.A. files the case, domestic violence charges could be added.
Update 2: According to a source close to the investigation, Rihanna made the 911 call to police after Brown “fled on foot” from the scene following the attack. Two officers from the LAPD Wilshire Division found Rihanna in Brown’s rented silver Lamborghini “beaten really badly and hysterical.”
Brown had taken the keys to the car with him and Rihanna was basically left on the side of the road with the car.
“Rihanna didn’t want anyone to touch her, she was in so much pain,” the source says.
Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, had visible bruising and scrapes on her face and what appeared to be bite marks on her body. Officers took her to the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment.
A member of Rihanna’s inner circle tells E! News her family is making plans to get her out of L.A.: “They want to get her back to Barbados. They want to keep her away from Chris right now.”
Update 3: Although the Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement Sunday night saying Brown had been arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and could face additional charges now that the case had been forwarded to the district attorney, prosecutors tell E! News that the announcement was premature and the investigation is ongoing.
“LAPD are telling some reporters that we received the evidence but we have not received anything yet,” says Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the county district attorney. “Normally it would come in today, maybe this afternoon, but no, they haven’t presented it and I don’t know when they will.”
Robison says the probe is still continuing—unusual for such cases—as detectives want to make sure they do a thorough job, given that a celebrity is involved.
Brown’s camp, including newly hired criminal attorney Mark Geragos (who has represented the likes of Michael Jackson and Winona Ryder), has remained mum on the incident.
Meanwhile, LAPD spokeswoman April Harding is shooting down a TMZ report from earlier today (which has since been corrected) that claimed Brown used “a deadly weapon” during his alleged attack.
“There is absolutely no truth to that story. If it had been a deadly weapon involved, he would have been charged with a deadly weapons charge,” says Harding.

How could Chris Brown has demeaned himself so low to get involved in such act. I am sure he doesn’t deserve to be the right guy for Rihanna. As for me, I have respect for the FEMALES expecially celebrities like Rihanna Chris Browns victims and Beyonce Jay Z’s fiance. I think I don’t have much to say at the moment because I feel for how Rihanna will be right now. I just pray she should be well taken care of by the doctors and nurses so that she will be as she was before she was beaten up by Chris.
Have a nice day and quick recovery Rihanna.
Daniel.

I believe these allegations are not true about chris brown because every body has a different story about what went on. I heard about the bite marks which at first that is all that was wrong and now she has a million other things wrong. Don’t get my comment mistaken because i love rihannas music but i don’t think things went down as some people say. The only way you will know what really happened is if you ask them which won’t happen. I believe both artist need to say what really happened because each individual is going to tell their side the way they want just to make the other person look bad but they should really put what relly happened out there to eliminte all of the confusion.

I just feel so bad about the whole situation! I have always loved Chris Brown, and I have also loved Rihanna, however I choose to stay in the middle. I don’t know what truly went on, so I can’t say however I wish them both the best!

Ok, I don’t believe anything Rihanna is saying. I mean I’m almost similar to Chris Brown. I mean I’m 19 & I grew up watching my mom involved in a abusive relationship. I mean that really takes a toll on a male & you tell yourself you will never hit a female in your life. Now, this is what I think really happened: I think Rihanna found out Chris was cheating or flirting with other females & she was upset. Now she has a history of hitting on him, so they were in the car she started an arguement started swing, they might have wrecked, they got out, started back arguing, she kep swinging, pissed him off & he grabbed her. I mean that is the first place a male will grab when a female is hitting him & that is where she got the bruises on her arm. Now, I thinks that’s what it is. But I mean I think Chris just needs to tell what happened cause he is really making himself look terrible But keep your head up Chris.
