Rihanna's horrific injuries after alleged bust-up with Chris Brown
This is the picture showing the battered face of pop singer Rihanna after she was allegedly beaten up by her boyfriend.
Heavy welts above her eyes and scratch marks around her mouth and on her cheeks are clear in the close-up image.
The photograph of the 21-year-old is said to have been taken this month after the alleged assault by R&B singer Chris Brown in Los Angeles.
Revealed: A leaked picture reveals the extent of Rihanna's injuries after allegedly being beaten up by R&B superstar boyfriend Chris Brown earlier this month
Police have not confirmed the name of the woman in the leaked picture or when or where it was taken.
However, she has the same tattoo of Roman numerals on her shoulder which Rihanna revealed at a party before the Grammy awards on February 8, the night she was attacked.
The injuries to the woman's face are also consistent with those said to have been suffered by the singer.
Rihanna seen hours before the alleged attack at a Pre-Grammys party she attended with BrownThe fight escalated after they got out and by the time officers arrived at the scene in Hancock Park, Brown had left.
He handed himself in to police the following day, when he was arrested and released on £30,000 bail.
A statement released through his publicist said: 'Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.
'I am seeking the counselling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person.'
Both Brown and his Barbadian girlfriend were nominated for Grammys and were due to appear at the music awards show in LA but cancelled at the last minute.
The picture emerged after a leak from the LA police, prompting an internal investigation. A spokesman said the force took its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence 'very seriously'.
Releasing a picture without authorisation was considered serious misconduct, with penalties which could include sacking, he added.
Police are continuing to investigate the case and Brown may face domestic violence charges.
Rihanna, meanwhile, is said to be staying with relatives in Barbados.
