Commenting on the leaking of a photo, showing the injured face of his famous daughter after being attacked by during a heated argument on February 8, Ronald Fenty told US Weekly in a telephone interview on Friday morning, February 20 that he found the leak "disturbing" and branded it "terrible." Ronald revealed further, "It's good and it's bad to see the picture because there's other people who were thinking differently, that [Rihanna's injuries] may not be that bad, just a little spank or a little thing."

In a separate interview with People, Ronald expressed his disappointment towards the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) which handle his daughter's case. "Sloppy work on their part," so he said. Though so, Ronald hoped the leak of the shot can help people "grasp the situation" happening between Rihanna and Chris "a lot better."

In the meantime, a number of Rihanna's fans have expressed their disbelief, doubt, as well as concern over the picture of her having a swollen-bloody lip, two black eyes and marks on her forehead that was published by TMZ on Thursday, February 19. "The female on the picture isn't Rihanna!!!" a fan called Spmuscle wrote as being quoted by MTV. "It's a fraud." But another fan Realitylover countered, "Photoshopped my a**! That is just terrible." One fan, identified as Jeeze488, commented, "I can't believe what he did." Another fan called KFCMuffin chimed in, "OMG!!! I saw those pics and I wanted to cry. ... Chris Brown left her in pretty bad shape."

Aside from them all, a 19-year-old fan named Nia Mani has been quoted by MTV as commenting, "I think leaking the photo was an invasion of Chris Brown's and Rihanna's privacy because nobody really knows happened, so those photos shouldn't have been out." Nia added, "That's crazy how it just got out like that, and it's so easy for people to see how she got hit. The photos shouldn't have been out yet."

Rihanna herself has issued a statement through his representative, thanking fans for the support they have given her during the difficult time. She, however, declined to comment on her altercation with Chris Brown, citing authorities' request as the reason.

people should keep their hands to themselves. some lines should never be crossed, once crossed it gets easier and easier to cross them again... don't think he will change without professional help.

That pic is probably fake for all they know. Nobody knows anything and they are so quick to judge. Leave them alone.

Hey people dont be so quick 2 judge. yea da pic look so bad and rihanna ma gurl i hope u get betta. But you dnt know wat realli happen, i kno he should of neva put his hands on her cos thats wrong. but look at it dis way, he made a big mistake, he is not please with his self and we and the media is makin it harder for him. people should give Chris a second chance, if Rihanna can find it in her heart 2 4give him, Y cant we. every1 just need to mind the own FUCKIN business. give Rihanna & Chris space 2 work things out, they are young they are learning from their mistakes. we dont know da full story so lets not judge til da court day is over. and beside dat pic is not rihanna cos it look different. Chris is great person and rihanna is da best singer and model she is ma role model i love them both. ma prayers go out 2 both of them. and for now i hope the media and other people would MIND they own BUSINESS. Rihanna dont let Chris out of ur side he 2 sexy and u 2 look gud 2gether. and i know i fell it that he wil neva put his hands on you. not after what he got his elf into. FUCK brook 4 sayin Chris should be locked up 4 life. just wonder wat if he is ur brother, cousin, son, friend. would you stil say that Fuck u
