Chris Brown has denied Internet gossip that he leaked a batch of photos that allegedly show Rihanna buck naked.

The seven images, which began surfacing on Friday, apparently show the “Umbrella” singer in various states of undress. They are said to reveal various body parts and appear to have been taken in a bathroom and bedroom, according to the New York Post’s Page Six.

Bloggers immediately speculated that Brown, currently facing felony charges that he beat Rihanna, unleashed the photos as payback.  But Brown says he had nothing to do with it.

A rep for Brown tells Essence.com, “This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter).”
