2. What a lowdown piece of shit he is for beating a woman like that.

13. Does that mean if he had beaten a man like that, he wouldn't be either as lowdown

or a much of a piece of shit?

Or did you mean to type beating a person like that instead of beating a woman like that? I really can't see how the gender of the victim is relevant to what kind of person he is.

3. Wow. I hope his career is no more after this.

Pathetic.

Shame on TMZ for publishing that without her consent though.

4. I'll wait for confirmation from a more reputable source than TMZ

5. Very sad, and I suspect the extent of her injuries are not documented here.

The full extent of a beating can't really be shown by ONE photo of a face taken at one particular point in time. Believe me, I know. I expect that she looked a hell of a lot worse even one hour later, and especially so one day later. Add to that the likely injuries sustained beyond her face.

I'm saddened to read rumors that she is desperate to get back with him, though not surprised.

6. cops said she had bite marks on hands or arms. Don't we learn not to bite by age 3?

7. I wish I could spend some time with a boy who hits girls.

8. She looks so sad and devastated. Chris Brown's career is over.

He needs help and I hope he gets it.

He clearly doesn't have the guts to pick on someone his own size.

9. Very sad, & the latest word's she's going back to him.

As, God knows, a lot of abused women do.  The law needs to
hold him accountable to the full extent possible, but it
appears that Rihanna herself needs to develop more
self-respect.

12. No she's not and if you read it somewhere post a link.

10. Wow thats awful

Sadly this happens everyday but its kept quiet and hidden away. Hopefully this incident will inspire change.

11. I'm actually glad they published the photo because a lot of

people are going to wake up after seeing it. It's heartbreaking... the pain on her face...so clearly visible... It's stunning. No one should have to go through that.
