On Friday night, R&B queen Rihanna appeared battered and bruised while picking up food at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif. The queen tried to keep a low profile in an Escalade while the attendant brought her order to her curbside. But at some point, she removed her sunglasses and the paparazzi captured her with a black eye and some swelling on her face.
Earlier on, it was rumored that she was involved in a physical altercation, but that was all false. Rihanna’s rep revealed to TMZ that she fell off an e-scooter a few days ago after the bike flipped over, hitting her in the face and forehead. Although she is healing, the injury looks worse than it actually is.
Meanwhile, the Fenty mogul isn’t the first to suffer mild to severe injuries from an electric bike. “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell is recovering after he broke his back while riding an e-bike.
However, the injury can’t stop the Barbadian Queen. Recently, she launched her Fenty Skin line and is readying her long-awaited ninth studio album, which may finally be nearing release. “It’s probably gonna be sooner than my fans think, but I’m just gonna leave that alone,” said Rihanna to “Access Hollywood” in July.
