I hate myself for sharing this photo with you, but I think you should know the truth, since sooner or later you will definitely see this shot. The following image is the first shot of Rihanna after she was allegedly assaulted by her hubby Chris Brown. The photo was taken by TMZ photographers. In this really sad picture, the singer has a swollen, bloody lip, two bruises and marks on her forehead.

Rihanna is in her native Barbados now and her ex-boyfriend Brown was arrested for making criminal threats, and released in a couple of hours.
