Rihanna‘s father, Ronald Fenty, is speaking out about the disturbing photo of his daughter severely bruised and beaten – reportedly at the monstrous hands of Chris Brown.
Ronald said in an interview today about the image that “Yeah, I saw it. It’s disturbing.”
However, he adds that people will now be able to “grasp the situation a lot better” after having seen the pic.
And remember, that the photo was taken before the bruises and swelling even had time to fully manifest themselves.
Who knows how badly hurt she appeared the next day!
Her dad adds, “It’s good and it’s bad to see the picture because there’s other people who were thinking differently, that [Rihanna’s injuries] may not be that bad, just a little spank or a little thing.”
As for RiRi, today is actually her 21st birthday. And unfortunately, we doubt she’s celebrating it the way she would have wanted to.
Her close friends placed a birthday greeting in the local Barbados newspaper saying, “Happy 21 Birthday to Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Amidst all the negativity about Ri Ri. God will continue to bless her. That’s why you are so great, Ri Ri.”
Sad.
Sending you many hugs, RiRi!
