Harvey Levin's TMZ Gets Picture of Battered Rihanna Leaked by a Scumbag in the LAPD

I will not directly post the picture of a battered Rihanna. I am appalled that Harvey Levin would allow his site to publish such a horrific picture of the singer. The young lady deserves some privacy and some respect. I am no fan of hers, but I am a woman and I am disturbed at the fact that someone in the Los Angeles Police Department may have broken the law in passing this picture to TMZ. The reason behind such careless actions by TMZ is purely for selfish reasons -- sensationalism. If every victim of domestic violence sees their battered face being aired all over the place, it could potentially cause many victims not to even bother reporting these crimes. What was done to this woman was unconscionable and she deserves privacy and our respect of that right.

To Chris Brown, you are travelling down a dangerous path. If this picture was not doctored, you deserve to be in prison for what you did to this woman. There was no reason for you to do this and there can never be any justification whatsoever. Where are his parents? Why did they allow him to run around like a grown man, on his own and doing whatever he pleased. There was obviously no guidance from either Rihanna's or Chris Brown's parents. He could have just walked away. No one likes a man who beats a woman. Come on. Chris, remember Ike Turner? After he repeatedly beat Tina Turner, guess who rose and who was relegated to the life of a "has-been" and a pariah? Ike Turner. He never, ever regained the respect of the music industry.

TMZ and the scumbag in the LAPD that gave them this picture -- SHAME ON YOU!
