Rihanna is recovering after a slight electric scooter accident. 

Concerns started to rise when the singer was photographed with bruises on her face on Friday near Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

For everyone who is wondering what happened with Rihanna:

-pictures show her getting in a car with bruises on her face

-they don’t appear to be old, since the guy seen in the pics is wearing a mask

No, I will not be tweeting the pictures. Please, do not reply with them.

Some outlets and fans thought these injuries were the result of an altercation that was reminiscent of her 2009 incident with Chris Brown. Others believed that the pictures were a cruel joke played by someone resurfacing old photos of Rihanna from that moment.

Yet, a rep quickly calmed fans by explaining that Rihanna flipped off her scooter. Although it looks concerning, the rep stated that her injuries are not as serious as it could have been. 

“what happened with rihanna?'' is not an ongoing joke.

someone shared her decade ago bruised face picture and are spreading it. so if u think it's a joke, it's not.

"Rihanna is completely fine now but flipped over on an electric scooter last week and bruised her forehead and face," the rep said in a statement to PEOPLE. "Luckily there were no major injuries and she is healing quickly."
