Was Rihanna Assaulted by Chris Brown?

This picture was taken when Chris Brown was on a movie set, but we had no idea at the time that it could possibly be art imitating life!

It all started with some buzz on the street through fellow photographers. We were hearing rumors of an alleged assault from between two famous people. Then we heard names. Then we heard stories. We were about to make it into a Blind Item because we take this thing very seriously and do not want to allege an assault and reveal the names until we find out the whole story. But we think it’s safe to say that many sources are revealing tidbits here and there, so we will present the information and you can decide:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Chris Brown is being investigated by the LAPD in an alleged assault on a female.

Cops have yet to release the name of the female in question.

When officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene, the statement reads.

The LAPD is conducting an investigation into the incident.

“The Insider” confirms that pop singer Rihanna will not be performing at tonight’s Grammys following sustaining a bruised face in what sources called a car accident. Coincidentally, Rihanna’s rumored boyfriend Chris Brown is under investigation for alleged domestic violence felony battery related to an alleged attack on a woman in a car who sustained what police call “visible injuries.”

Earlier Saturday night Brown and girlfriend Rihanna were at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis’s Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills.

When asked about Rihanna’s well being, her rep told PEOPLE, “Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support.”

A rep for Chris Brown did not return calls from Access who called both Rihanna and Chris Brown.

“The identity of the victim will not be released,” said Officer April Harding. “Any victim who’s involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality.”

Around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, the R&B singer and a woman were in a vehicle in L.A. when they became involved in an argument, according to a police statement. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker, according to police.

The LAPD received a 911 call reporting the disturbance. “If police locate Brown, yes, he’s subject to arrest,” Officer Harding added.
