Although she should have been busy celebrating, Rihanna spent part of this day - her 21st birthday - updating everyone on her status. The following was issued to the media by the singer’s rep:

“At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown. She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.”

This is the first statement Rihanna’s camp has issued since their brief comment on February 8th. A photo of her injuries was leaked to the internet yesterday.
