Rihanna sure has had a pretty talked-about year so far. First, the bitch got beat-up real bad by her douche bag boyfriend (the same boyfriend she seems to have gone back to) sparking a huge outpouring of sympathy for her and anger for him. Then, out of nowhere, these supposedly leaked naked pics of her have hit the internet and no one is confirming if it is indeed her. Everyone from Rihanna’s management to legal team have rebuked the pics claiming them to be a hoax, but at the same time is asking websites to take down the photos because it “hurts the image and reputation of their client”. While there is still debate whether or not these nude pictures are real (despite the appearance of the panty-covered head of Chris Brown) one faction of Rihanna’s faction claims that these may be authentic after all.

Def Jam records, Rihanna’s label, have been vigilant in asking websites to take down the photos because it violated their artists’ rights. And although this protective action can be seen as just a mere strong holding tactic, it also clearly reveals that they believe these to be private photos and not for public exhibition. Ergo, they believe it is her. Further proof that the pics can indeed be of Rihanna is the presence of Brown, the interior of the hotel being London West Hollywood where the two were confirmed to have stayed at least once, and the nipple piercings that Rihanna herself has. If it is a hoax, it’s a very complex and well-thought out one. Booking the actual hotel where the couple stayed. Hiring a woman that looks like the pop singer, complete with accurate nipple piercing. It seems a little coincidental that all these elements point to authenticity.

But with all the drama (legal and otherwise) surrounding Rihanna and Chris Brown, it’s clear that there’s still some bad blood between the two after Rihanna pushed through with legal action concerning their very public physical abuse incident. Now, Rihanna has to deal with these images as well, pictures that many agree were leaked by Brown himself as a sort of revenge for this whole thing. Or maybe Chris Brown is just a real asshole. I really don’t know what goes on in that twisted mind of his, but whatever the purpose of it is it just makes him look even more like a douche. On the other hand, perhaps Rihanna herself leaked these to gain even more sympathy from the public but letting them think Brown did it. Ah, these crazy Hollywood people. Always doing things to stay in the spotlight. Let’s just hope that people don’t O.D. on this Rihanna drama and have the whole thing backfire on them. One good thing that came out of all this? We got to see Rihanna’s tatas.
