Rihanna Italian Vogue photos and video

The Rihanna Italian Vogue photo shoot is taking the world by storm, but not only for the racy images, but for the meaning behind the photos. You can see photos from the quickly going viral ‘Rihanna Italian Vogue’ photo shoot in the video below. The photos show Rihanna in bondage and half clothed, but is this more than an Italian photographer’s depiction of art, or does it send a message regarding Rihanna’s recent assault from her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. The photos themselves are racy, but when you consider that they are from Italian Vogue, the shock lessens. Italian Vogue, as well as other European based fashion magazines often portray racy, semi-nude, and sexually suggestive images. Is there really anything ‘behind the scenes’ in these photos?


It’s also interesting to note that on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, Chris Brown spoke with Larry King about his recent assault and conviction on the Barbados beauty and singer. During that interview, Chris Brown alleged that he didn’t remember assaulting Rihanna, but he did admit to losing his temper in the heated moments while arguing. Chris Brown also stated that he pled guilty to felony assault. When asked if he still loved Rihanna he replied yes.


Many people are outraged that Chris Brown avoided jail time. He plead guilty on June 22, 2009, and the deal ensured that he would avoid jail. He was additionally sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community service. There is a protective order in place making certain that Chris Brown has no contact with Rihanna.


After the assault, Rihanna began sporting a new tattoo, causing more to speculate if the choice of a gun was meant to empower herself. Along with the Italian Vogue photos, the new haircut, and tattoos, we can be sure that the spotlight will continue to follow Chris Brown and Rihanna as they go their separate ways. As for the photos, well, they are the closest thing to Rihanna that Chris Brown is going to get for a long time.
