Rihanna Releases Official Statement

Rihanna speaks! Well, through her rep that is. Here is her first official statement since the "incident" with Chris Brown.

"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."

I guess having the picture leaked showing her bruised and battered forced the situation even more public.
