HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Chris Brown has denied having any part in the alleged nude photos of Rihanna that have begun to emerge on the Internet.
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton posted the photos on his Web site Monday under the title, “Chris Brown must be responsible for this.”
“This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter),” Brown’s rep told Essence.com.
While no one has confirmed whether the pictures are actually Rihanna, her music label Def Jam sent cease and desist letters out to outlets warning them that the images violate “the Artist’s rights.”
Brown, 20, was arrested in February for allegedly assaulting Rihanna. He has pleaded not guilty to the two felony charges against him — assault and making criminal threats.
Brown’s next court hearing is May 28.
