Chris Brown Abuse Photo: Did Rihanna Strike First?
by Free Britney at .Last week, a graphic photo of a battered Rihanna leaked.
That image showed, for the first time, the gruesome extent of the damage caused by then-boyfriend Chris Brown the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
Now, a new photo has surfaced that reportedly shows a lip injury Chris suffered the night he beat Rihanna up. The damage is minor, but it's still there.
MediaTakeOut, which broke the story, says the pic was taken after the fight, during which he claimed Rihanna hit him first. Follow the jump to see:
Brown had told investigators Rihanna had hit him that night and scratched up his face. It goes without saying that the Rihanna abuse photo is a bit worse.
Ultimately, it didn't matter, as Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault. He has been on probation ever since, performing community service and hard labor.
A restraining order against him was just lifted, right around the leaking of these pics. Do you see the incident in a different light after seeing this image?

why did CHRIS BROWN do dat like 4 real tho he GHETTO 4 REAL CHRIS dont talk 2 us any more you should of got aresseted any way
It looks like these two have very explosive relationship, I think there was a lot of arguing, breaking up and violence between them both in the past before "the night". Rihanna is no angel and Chris is out of control. No good indeed...
We tell men "never hit a woman" but we never tell women "never hit a man". The true message should be "never hit anyone, unless you're defending yourself"...no human being deserves to be hit simply because they upset the other person. All the people boycotting Chris Brown are hypocrites.
What chris brown did was wrong hitting a woman for nothing she didn't do bt now its in the past and they friends now bt chris brown SHOULD NEVER HIT A WOMAN
it was ahorrible thing he did to rihanna and now that rihanna is getting back with him,its a terrible mistake
