Rihanna’s Attacked, Concert Postponed

Rihanna’s concert in Malaysia is postponed. The organizers are planning to find a replacement date within two weeks from now.

According to TMZ, In the meantime, Rihanna has been discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, having been escorted out a back exit of the hospital some time during the night. “They used a decoy to throw off the media,” a source close to the investigation into what went down between Rihanna and Chris Brown early Sunday morning told E! News.

Law enforcement sources have now gotten more specific… police took pictures of Rihanna’s injuries and they are “horrific.” With major contusions on both sides of the singer’s face – there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. It was confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.

Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that’s what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack. Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos.

Chris Brown has been booked on a felony criminal threats charge. If the D.A. files the case, domestic violence charges could be added.

UPDATES

According to Sources: The police are getting cooperation from Rihanna, and what she has told them so far is chilling.

Rihanna has alleged to police that Brown choked her while threatening to kill her and, subsequently, she lost consciousness. They began squabbling after leaving Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party late Saturday. Shortly after midnight, things blew up. Brown pulled his silver Lamborghini to the side of a street in L.A.’s Hancock Park neighborhood. That’s when, per the source, Rihanna grabbed the car keys and tossed them out the window, sending Brown into a rage.</p> <p>He tried in vain to find the keys, then came back to the car, put his hands around her neck and, according to the insider, said,” alt=”" />

According to the source, the 20-year-old “Disturbia” singer told police that she lost consciousness, and when she awoke, Brown had fled. According to the source, her right eye was blackened and badly swollen and she had hand prints on her arms. The responding officers were so concerned about her, they drove Rihanna to the hospital in their squad car instead of waiting for an ambulance.

Officers took two sets of photographs of the banged-up singer, one at the scene and the second after she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment. Those photos were presumably among the evidence presented to the district attorney. After being treated for her injuries, police escorted her down a rear elevator and into a waiting Mercedes, the source says.

Brown, 19, was subsequently booked on suspicion of making criminal threats. He was released after posting $50,000 bail. His lawyer, Mark Geragos, has not responded to repeated requests for comment on the allegations. Brown’s publicist also has not commented. A spokeswoman for Rihanna declined to comment specifically on details of the fight and the arrest and stuck to her earlier statement from Sunday: “Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support.”
