Another family member of Rihanna has downplayed her alleged fight with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown - insisting the pop star's injuries are not "as bad as people make them sound".
Rihanna returned to her native Barbados last week (begs09Feb09) after she was reportedly assaulted by her then-boyfriend Brown in the early hours of 8 February (09). The incident is said to have left her in need of hospital treatment.
Brown is facing possible jail time after he was charged by Los Angeles police with making criminal threats following the heated argument.
Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, confirmed on Sunday (15Feb09) the incident has put an end to the superstars' relationship, insisting his daughter was focusing on making a recovery.
In a statement to People.com, he added, "There is some bruising. She will be all right. I think so."
But Rihanna's cousin, Yvonne Fenty, has urged the singer's fans not to worry, adding the star is getting "her life back on track".
Yvonne tells RadarOnline, "Rihanna is holding up well. Everyone is looking after her. Her injuries weren't near as bad as people make them sound."
Brown released a statement on Sunday (15Feb09) admitting he was "saddened" by the incident, and that he was seeking solace in getting counselling from his pastor and his family.
Rihanna has yet to issue an official statement about the incident.
