This pic, which is reportedly Rihanna’s face with bruises, scratches and swelling from an attack allegedly at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown was posted Thursday night by the celebrity Web site TMZ.

If a picture speaks a 1,000 words, you can only imagine what those words are.

Asked whether it could confirm the photo’s origin, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Jason Lee said only that the agency hasn’t released any images of the woman who accused Brown, and will not release evidence photos. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney said all evidence related to the case against Brown is still with police.

No public statement has been issued on behalf of Rihanna, who turns 21 today.

Brown released a statement on Sunday, which read in part, “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.” The statement, which did not mention Rihanna, said that Brown was consulting with loved ones, his mother and pastor.
