Rihanna is facing legal action from a photographer who is asking for compensation after he was allegedly beaten and robbed for taking a picture of Rihanna and Chris Brown, also named in the lawsuit.

Luis Santana filed a $1 million lawsuit in Florida on Tuesday, claiming bodyguards working for the rumored couple, knocked him to the ground and stole his $3,000 camera.

The camera allegedly contained proof that Rihanna and Brown are in fact a couple, would have sold for a fortune.

 

The photographer is demanding compensation for the shot and the stolen camera, as well as his own personal injuries and distress, according to The St. Petersburg Times.

Rihanna's publicist, Jonathan Hay, has called the lawsuit a "really unfortunate event."

He adds, "I do believe that this matter is completely blown out of proportion and I strongly believe that we need to focus on the positive things in the world -- not the negative things."
