Chris Brown Leaves LA After Arrest
Also, TMZ reports Rihanna's injuries as "horrific"

Yesterday was a blur of fast breaking information and wild speculation about the arrest of Chris Brown and his alleged domestic assault against his girlfriend Rihanna. While new information continues to make its way to the Internets — none of it really good, btw — we seem to be getting a better picture of just what may have transpired in the wee hours of Sunday morning leading up to Brown‘s eventual arrest late Sunday evening. TMZ is reporting that Rihanna‘s injuries were photographed by police and are described as “horrific” in nature. E! Online is reporting that Rihanna called 911 after the incident occurred and appears to have been cooperating with law enforcement at least in some capacity as police gathered evidence in this alleged assault. Meanwhile, Chris Brown has stayed relatively out of sight for most of yesterday … but was seen packing his belongings into a private jet, most likely making his way back East (back to Virginia?) to hide out with his family. Here are photos of Chris Brown loading up his luggage on board a private charted jet yesterday afternoon along with information from E! about Rihanna‘s actions just after the alleged assault and the unsettling account by TMZ sources of Rihanna‘s injuries:


From E!: 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.”

From TMZ: Law enforcement sources have now gotten specific with us… police took pictures of Rihanna’s injuries and they are “horrific.” As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer’s face — there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers. And we now know this… 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. We’re told the photos alone are “devastating proof of abuse.” And we’ve learned it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone in the area heard her screams and called.

As you can plainly see, E! and TMZ have conflicting information on who made the 911 emergency call after the alleged incident occurred. Despite all this information from both outlets and their sources, it is impossible to know for sure which information is absolutely true. At this point, it’s really a matter of taking it all in and determining for one’s self which information and details seem most correct. I, for one, have no problem believing some aspects of each of these reports … but, again, until we hear word from official sources, we can’t know anything for sure. It does seem pretty clear that Chris Brown is retreating back to his home while Rihanna is, most probably, making her way home as well. I still cannot get over the ugliness of this whole story. He is 19 and she is 20 and we’re basically dealing with, what sounds like, a pretty outrageous physical altercation/attack. I’m just so … stunned by it all. And we’ve still got a ways to go before any resolution is even fathomable. I suspect more sources will come forward with new information … I guess we’ll just deal with that info as it comes.

    im not saying it wont be affected…but i wouldnt go as far to say its over. theres been plently of artist that have been in and out of jail who are still doing just fine & still have a strong female fan base.

    Keri, that’s interesting to hear that there are reports of Rihanna hitting Chris during tiffs, although it still wouldn’t be justified for Chris to have beaten her in retaliation. It just makes me think of a situation a male friend was in years ago. After years of dating his high school sweet heart, she started to become physically abusive. As is the pattern, it started small and then escalated and once in the course of defending himself, he confessed to me that he suddenly realized he had put his hands around her neck and had started to squeeze. Of course he immediately let her go and then tried to do the right thing and just break ties with her, for both of their sakes. It turned out that she was pretty mentally unstable and started stalking him. It took years and a cross country move for him to finally get her out of his life.

    I just mention that b/c so many people have commented on how wrong it is for a man to hit a woman, and it is, but it’s just wrong to hit anyone. Some women seem to think it’s ok or cute to hit a man and, while it might not do as much, or any, physical damage to the man, it’s still abuse. It’s not for me to judge what went on between Chris and Rihanna – I just hope they both get the help they need and that the rest of us will be reminded that it’s never ok to hit anyone, male or female.

    She gaving him herpes is apparently what caused all this mess :[

    i agree with you zanne! well said!

    Okay I don’t believe that Rihanna deserved to be abused, but there is something not right with the story, okay they were driving along arguing and then what? he pulled over to beat the crap out of her in public?!? There has to be way more to this story, and I don’t think we should judge a situation we know nothing about until we have both sides of the story. And to the people who are saying thats its ok if Rihanna goes around smacking Chris or you don’t care if she kicked him in the balls first…why is it ok for him to be abused? Because he’s a man and he should just take it cause she’s a girl and he shouldn’t have the right to defend himself? That’s just as wrong…and something tells me Miss Rihanna isn’t so innocent in this situation! Not saying she deserved to be abused so don’t all start yelling at me, just my opinion…she ain’t innocent!!

    It’s weird, I feel like something is off. Chris Brown doesn’t seem like the type to do something like that but who really knows, right? There are too many conflicting stories.. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what the REAL story is. Nonetheless, domestic violence is horrible.

    @debho
    No WAY were they a happy couple! My friend who works in beverly hills said they came into her store and got into a huge fight right there. I’ll bet Rihanna was just being a diva as usual and Chris Brown couldn’t handle it and went off the deep end. He needs a groupie, not someone whose career is bigger than his.

    TRENT

    thank you for being unbiased about this account. I think we should wait to hear more information. To call someone out as an abuser is a big damn deal. this could potentially ruin his career, and hers.

    xoxo

  11. Paul says:

    Wait and get the real story? If he was innocent he would have released a statement already. His silence is key. He did it and is leaving the state now to avoid the media. Hahaha to all Chris Brown fans who are making excuses….sorry his career is over.

  12. Lexifer says:

    Didn’t Trent post a story several months ago about how Rihanna and Chris allegedly broke up at one of her concerts, and how she was screaming and throwing things at him backstage? It sounds like they have a history of spectacular fights. I don’t think either one of them is blameless.

    No one knows the full story right now, as many other posters have stated, this story doesn’t seem right. And him leaving doesn’t mean anything, she is leaving as well. I think they are both just laying low while this dies down a bit. The story will come out in court.

    Innocent until proven guilty people, neither artist has made a comment and until one of them does, I will reserve judgment.

    From what i seen of CB on Television this morning, He doesnt have a single mark. even if she provoked him. She is a woman, he is a man he should have never put a hand on her. Bad relationship , then leave. And the fact she has 2 blackened eyes, and a busted lip (according to wpix 11).
    As far as the bites , one can only speculate about that, Noone will ever know what really happened. but Chris having a bad childhood is just making excuses. Ive had a horrible upbringing and so have many of my friends with no fathers or growing up in gruop homes. please dont make excuses for him. He obviously reacted the wrong way, Anger management anyone???Where are all of his bruises? Some people never change and use their past as an excuse for the futures, Grow up.

  14. Killastone says:

    Lol. Gloria. Where did you hear this herpes rumor. it is a rumor you know. official story says CB recieved a text from a female friend setting off the arguement.No statments on what the arguement was about has been released. Kinda funny to see a woman making an excuse for a woman beater. under no circumstances, other then threat on your life, should a man raise his hand to a woman, its pretty simple.

    man this sucks….I met Chris Brown a couple years back in Atlanta wen I too my 14 year old daughter and her friend to one o his shows. We showed up very early so we may have the chance to meet him…sure enough, we did… Chris was the perfect young man and spent about 5 minutes with just the 2 of them posing for pictures, signing their yeabooks, etc…Even told me I was a “cool dad”!
    And now this….

    The allegations are frightening…the impact this has on sooooo many young Brown/Rhianna fans is enormous. A truly sad story …

    I pray that Chris and Rhianna seek profesional help immediately …even if couseling isn’t the answer, the least it does is makes you take a look at yourself, where you are and where you want to be.

    Sad, sad story that hopefully…someday…will ave a happy ending.

    I totally agree with Allie and Zanne. We have no idea what went on and yes he should not have hit her at all, but the same thing is said for her if she hit him first than she is also in the wrong..It is wrong to hit a girl OR a guy..Neither of them should be hitting each other! We don’t know what happened and until we do we should stop all the rumors. And i hope they are both okay, especially Rihanna.

  17. Allie says:

    All men are animals and are not worthy to be with women. They all want to beat women because they hate them, but only the dumb ones go through with it.
