"This is both a false and defamatory statement," the rep told Essence.com. "Chris has not released or 'leaked' any photos of Rihanna or anybody else for that matter."
As reported earlier on this site, an attempt was made to sell the photos to gossip websites in November 2008, well before Brown’s alleged assault on Rihanna on February 8.
There were no takers for the photos then because of their dubious origin. The photos seem to have found a buyer now because Rihanna has lately been in the news as she endeavors to make a professional comeback following an assault on her by Brown.
Rihanna’s label, Island Def Jam Music Group, has sent a missive to at least one website that published nude photos, purported to be those of Rihanna, demanding that they be removed.
The letter does not acknowledge or deny the photos are of Rihanna, who is recognizable in two of them but is clothed; the nude photos do not show the face.
