Sources tell Usmagazine.com that Rihanna (real name: Robin Fenty) is the alleged victim in the felony battery investigation involving her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown .

On Sunday, around 6:30 p.m., Brown, 19, turned himself in to Los Angeles police and was officially booked at 7:41 p.m. for making criminal threats.

Brown posted $50,000 bail and was released.

The case is being presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorneys office; additional charges may be filed.

Brown -- who has hired lawyer Mark Geragos (who defended convicted murderer Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson during his child molestation trial) -- is due in court March 5.

The incident occurred early Sunday morning near Hancock Park in L.A.

Police confirmed late Sunday that an unidentified woman phoned 911 and claimed she got into a fight with the singer and he attacked her.

Police say the woman had visible injuries. When officers arrived, they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene, police say.

Both Brown and Rihanna pulled out of Sunday's Grammy Awards at the last minute.

When contacted by Us, Rihanna 's rep said, " Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support."

    No man, woman, or child deserves to be hit for whatever reason. Saying "she must have set him off" that is just an ignorant statement allowing abuse. As many have said, we were not there, we don't know what happened. Don't judge others unless you have walked in their shoes. I don't agree if they get back together, but we should support their decision.

    Since we weren't there we cant take sides. However whether she beat on him first, gave him herpes, or whatever, a man has no right to hit a woman. Plus he admits to it, and if he didn't do it, I don't hink he would take all of the bashing on his image since he seems like a very conceited guy. Watever, we'll just have to wait nd c. If they cn get ovr it, so can we...

    why is the woman always does something wrong to set some man off ? Don't you think that they should control how they are? Who's to say he isn't to blame?

    All i can say is she definetely must of done something to set him off,for all we know she probably was beating on him first so he had to put the smackdown on her,sometimes thats your last resort,most of these girls have no class. They dont know how to act like ladies,im sure she aint no saint,on the other hand Chris Brown needs to learn how to do the headlock. lol
