The musician stars in a photographic sequence that recalls the brutal attack against Rihanna in 2009
The American rapper Chris Brown, again at the center of the controversy: he was photographed grabbing a woman by the neck. In the brutal images - published by the TMZ site - the musician appears holding the woman, while a third person watches and tries to separate them.
The photos quickly went viral on the internet as they recall the unfortunate episode of violence that singer Rihanna was the victim of eight years ago at the hands of Brown, her then-partner, who disfigured her face after a beating.
The material was taken days ago in Miami in a house rented by the singer for the Ultra Festival, and they were captured in the early hours of the morning.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, denied that it was a case of violence and assured that it was just a game between friends. "Whoever invades his privacy will have to take the consequences," Geragos told TMZ.
