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.

I know this is horrible to say because abuse on anyone is horrible..But..How could he hit such an angelic face? Sorry..ALLEGEDLY hit such an angelic face..Bah..Abuse like this is just always sad to hear about..It makes my stomach sick..
what a douche! You have to be an effing pussy to hit a woman, I hope he goes to jail and receives a warm welcome from the happy inmates. Bastard!
I just found more info in the incident…I second
kendra…how could he do this and from what this site said its pretty bad
http://meetthefamous.com/celebrity-news/?story=308
I am a big fan of Chris Brown’s music….how am I gonna be able to listen to his songs after this? The whole story is just so sad. They WERE so happy, or so it seemed. They were so great together. I hope there is more to the story and somehow Chris isn’t responsible for this, but it doesn’t look like thats the case.
I hope Chris brown’s career is over, people should have a public crushing of his cds. And hopefully he’ll get some help but, far away from Rhianna.
I had a similar situaiton happen to me personally about a year a go from a man I dearly loved. It’s the most confusing feeling that I have ever felt. One side your physically hurt because there are injuries…but the part that hurts the most is the one that would ever want to cause me pain….and then actually do it… it makes no sense. To this day I don’t understand it. At the time it happens and when he was in jail, there is a small part of you that wishes you could make it all go away, like it never happened and just pick up where you left off – right before hit happened.
So you deal with the loss of the relationship and you’ve had no time for closure. Then you feel bad because you miss the person and guilty for feeling like you have the worst taste in men ever…and then at the same exact time you feel angery and stupid. It’s SOOOO weird and very lonely. I think your family and friends get more mad than you ever do. I still love my ex – but I have nothing to do with him because I can’t. Some things change EVERYTHING and there is no going back.
I’m sorry you had to go through that, Spice. Good for you for getting out of that situation. It’s really tragic how many people can’t, probably for many of the reasons that you described. I’m pretty sure Rihanna won’t be seen with Chris anymore though…
On sirius radio today they were talking about things that could of led to this and supposedly rhianna and chris have been having tiffs on and off and supposedly rhianna has been seen smacking chris and hitting him on the head etc.. not that that is by any means make it right for Chris to hit her the way he did. Of course thats just rumors and who knows what really went down except for them. I just really hope Rhianna stays away from him and presses charges. Sirius also was saying that Rhianna was not pressing charges.. what the heck?! I really hope that is not true
Trent, I think you’re missing some very important information coming out from valid, non-tabloid news websites! Multiple LA-area news outlets are reporting the man in the attack was DJ Khaled, not Chris Brown. Please include this information in your posts. This is a horrible act of violence, and we don’t want to be pinning it on the wrong person.

**Team Rihanna!!!**
I had always thought that if I were to go through something like that, that I would have no problem hating that person. When I actually went through it, it was sooooo oposite. Logically I knew I had to stay away because of how serious it was but emotionally, I wanted to run to him and just pretend like it never happened. With out the support of a family and friend network, I honestly don’t know if I would have been able to be strong.
People forget, that those five minutes of pain or abuse don’t erase years of happiness. It’s almost like your brain doesn’t see the person who hit you and the person you love as the same person. Trust me, in a case like that, she wil miss him even though he did this to her because it’s like a death, she never had time for closure. One minute he’s the awesome guy, the next, he’s the person who caused you harm. It takes a long time to fully grasp that.
@Spice… it’s always hard to deal with abuse. Good for you for finding the strength to leave a destructive relationship. I understand what you mean, I watched my mother go through the same process, she, like you, was able to get out before anything irreversable happened… It takes alot of strength not only to deal with abuse and appear happy, but also to walk away from the abuser. For a long time victims tend to blame themselves, because thy can’t seperate the abuser from the person they love/ loved. It’s hard to leave and it’s difficult for people outside of the relationship to understand why. My only hope is that Rihanna can get a support system of family and friends to support her, and that Chris Brown owns up to his actions and accepts the punishment for his crime/ crimes.
Thank you Trent for not speculating and report everything in an unbiased manner.
@robina: The Laist post is saying that it wasn’t Chris Brown in a car chase. It didn’t say that the person involved in the car chase was the one responsible for what happened to Rihanna.
This is so F’ed up! Everything I’ve ever seen of CB leads me to believe he is a nice kid….but to actually be capable of punching a woman in the face??Its shocking and I really hope his reps come up with a statement soon because the longer this lingers the more “details” sites like TMZ will be releasing.
It takes a real bitch of a man to dare hit a woman.
I’ll be surprised (assuming this is all true and he WAS in fact the one who beat up Rihanna) if his career isn’t over since his fanbase is like, what, 90% women if not more?
i’m confused because i thought there was footage going around of them leaving the hotel together the next morning???? am i wrong, did i misunderstand something? in the footage she didn’t look “horrific”. is the footage from Saturday morning or sunday morning.
@Momo — I have not heard or seen any footage of the two of them together after the incident occurred. there are a lot of photos of the two of them together before the Clive Davis party (the last time they were seen in public together) but none, to my knowledge, of them together afterward. i understand Rihanna has not been publicly photographed since she was allegedly assaulted.
oh AND last night i’m positive i saw his doublemint commercial. Wierd since i thought they were suspending it! i was so surprised.
It’s just so unbelievable that this happened. They are both just kids yet. Not that this isn’t still capable of happening because of their ages but still, it’s the sort of thing you don’t hear about fairly often. If he’s guilty (I keep hearing new reports it was someone else) then he should man up and take responsibility for it and he should definitely consider getting help for whatever anger issues he may have that caused this. I sincerely hope that this was the first time something like this has occured in their relationship because I would hate to think of Chris Brown as a batterer and of Rihanna as a victim. She seems like a strong young woman and I hope she wouldn’t take that.
im still waiting on statements from both of them beofre i make any judgements towards chris. the thing i dont get is the bite mark… to bite someone is usually a defence thing isnt it? and about his career being over…i doubt it. fans seem to be forgiving. look at MJ…
@Nichole
His career is definitely changed from this point forward unless it turns out to be some HUGE mistake. He is sold as this sweet guy with immense talent. He’ll loose that and it won’t appeal to the parents and kids as much. Plus – if he is found guilty, there could be jail time. There will be a lot of namebrands that won’t initally associate with that. His career will be affected.
