The leaked photograph of Rihanna having bruises and cuts on her face has made a lot of buzz for the last hours after its posting on the Web.

According to LAPD's description of the the photo which "has the appearance of one taken during an official Domestic Violence investigation," it was assumed that the authorities validate the picture's authenticity. But many were the ones who opined it was just PhotoShopped.

"The female on the picture isn't Rihanna!!!" Spmuscle wrote. "It's a fraud." While others like Realitylover exclaimed "Photoshopped my a**! That is just terrible."

The most messages were showing compassion and support for Rihanna. "OMG!!!" KFCMuffin said. "I saw those pics and I wanted to cry. ... Chris Brown left her in pretty bad shape."

In the same time, others were expressing their despise an anger for making public a document linked to a domestic violence investigation, which by law, requires privacy.

"Why post a pic like that online? If it were one of you guys' sister or mother, would you want a picture like that to be made public?" Nesh asked. "Rihanna deserves privacy!!! Whoever leaked that pic, if it's from the police department, they deserve to be FIRED ASAP!! I am very disappointed!"
