Rihanna Photo & Father's Opinion

TMZ recently released a photograph of Rihanna "taken after Chris Brown allegedly beat her." Her father Ronald Fenty, who describes the photo as "disturbing," has mixing feelings about its release. He does feel though, according to US magazine, that the photo will help people "grasp of the situation a lot better." Prior to the release of the photo, it was sketchy on the seriousness of the pop star's injuries. Thursday the Los Angeles Police Department launched an internal investigation to determine who leaked the photo. In a released statement, the LAPD said, "A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination."
