After the world stood still (okay so maybe not the whole world) after that shocking picture of Rihanna was released last Friday, camp Rihanna has finally spoken out.

Well, when we say spoken out, we actually mean, they have said that they are not going to say anything. Right.

The pop superstar could have put an end to the rumours surrounding her (ex?) boyfriend Chris Brown, but has instead decided to keep schtum about the whole affair, but instead thanked fans for their support. (Bet Rosanne Barr was pissed she didn't get a mention)

A spokesperson for the singer says, "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."

What's more, the singer cancelled her NYC 21st birthday bash which she had been planning for months because she couldn't face it. Our thoughts are with you Rihanna.
