Rihanna Statement

Rihanna's camp finally released a statement, although it does not address the Chris Brown beat-down. Instead, Rihanna's people released a straight-to-the-point statement that addresses what the singer deems important:

"At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown. She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time."

It's great to know that Rihanna is doing well and is getting better. And you know the paparazzi is staking out wherever it is that she's staying for the first glimpse her from the aftermath. That shot is going to be worth millions. Hmm...

I'm guessing Rihanna's people felt the need to release a statement because of the awful and devastating image that was released to TMZ.
