Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis has denied reports that her flirting with Chris Brown triggered his alleged row with Rihanna.

The argument, which caused Chris Brown to allegedly attack Rihanna, was sparked by a conversation he had with the Bleeding Love singer, it was reported.

A source yesterday claimed that Leona and Brown had been chatting at a pre-Grammy award party on Saturday night.

'Rihanna saw Chris flirting. He and Leona were laughing and Rihanna saw his hand on the small of her back,' the source told the Daily Mirror.

'It was totally innocent but it set Rihanna off.'

The unnamed source added, 'Leona is very happy with her boyfriend Lou (Al Chamaa) and it was totally innocent on her behalf. There was no flirting.’

Now Leona's spokeswoman has spoken out, and confirmed, 'This has nothing to do with Leona.'

With no word from either Rihanna or Brown's camp as yet, reports of the disturbing nature of the attack are spiralling.

It was reported yesterday that Brown threatened to kill Rihanna during the argument, with police sources claiming that the Umbrella singer lost consciousness as Brown choked her and screamed: 'I'm going to kill you!'

Since the alleged attack there has been no sign of Rihanna, although she has cancelled several tour dates and her lavish 21st birthday party, which was due to take place in New York next week.

Brown, who is out on $50,000 (£34,000) bail, has also pulled out of a charity basketball event in Phoenix on Sunday.

It's ridiculous trying to imply that such horrific behaviour is the fault of anyone but the perpetrator - Chris Brown is clearly a disgusting excuse for a human being - regardless of the reasons why the argument started.

Lets hope Rihanna's eyes are wide open about her boyfriend. If he did this then she needs to get rid of, quick time!

If C.B actually done that she needs to ditch him asap, he's not worth it. Have you 21st birthday bash Rihanna, it's your special day, enjoy it with friends, but not him! Wish you well soon!

To say that Leonna was the cause of Chris Brown's actions is very hurtful to her.

Chris Brown's behaviour is unforgiveable and disgraceful.

I hope Rihanna has the sense to see if someone does that to you once, they won't think of doing it to you again!
