Rihanna’s posse released a statement on her whereabouts and how she is doing. Apparently, everything is fine and she is back in Los Angeles after a brief break in her native Barbados. She is celebrating her birthday without a the big 200-something bash her record company had planned for her and is apparently on her road to recovery. Chris Brown’s half-assed statement seems to have tinted his image further and anyone that sympathizes with him now is pretty much either a misogynist or a lunatic. The TMZ leak of the battering pictures show that it wasn’t just a tiny scuffle of sorts but a full-blown violent assault that can not be inflicted by anyone other than a criminal.
