Fans of the singer Rihanna are in shock this week after she was photographed with serious facial injuries that include a black eye after an e-scooter accident.

TMZ reported that Rihanna, 32, was spotted outside of a restaurant in Los Angeles with noticeable swelling on her face as well as a black eye. While fans were quick to speculate that she had been involved in a physical altercation of some sort, this thankfully does not seem to be the case.

“Rihanna is completely fine now but flipped over on an electric scooter last week and bruised her forehead and face,” one of her representatives told People. “Luckily there were no major injuries and she is healing quickly.”

This comes just after Rihanna released her Fenty Skin campaign with gender-neutral, inclusive products. The singer is also set to premiere her upcoming Amazon documentary in the summer of 2021.

“She’s a remarkable woman, who every day seems to grow and branch out into new businesses and new endeavors at a rate that it’s almost hard to keep up with. So every time we think we’re going to finish the movie and put it out, she does something like start a fashion line like Fenty, or her lingerie line, or her skincare line,” director Peter Berg told Collider of Rihanna. “She’s firing on all cylinders, she’s making new music now and she’s having so much success in business and she’s such an entrepreneur that we’re letting it grow, but we are gonna try and close it up in the spring and release it in the summer.”

Rihanna is not the first celebrity to fall victim to an electronic vehicle accident as of late. Last month, “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell was nearly paralyzed in an electric bike accident.

Cowell’s ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour told “Extra” exactly what happened with this accident.

“On Saturday afternoon, Simon was in the courtyard of his Malibu home with Eric and Adam, and he wanted to show them his new electric bike,” she explained, referring to Cowell’s son and stepson.

“It’s very fast and very powerful,” Seymour added of the bike, which cost over $20,000. “I don’t think he realized how powerful it was, and he flew off the bike, landed on his back.”

Seymour confirmed that the break ”was 1 centimeter away from from his spinal cord, that is true.”

“It’s bad, and he is in agony. [But] it could have been so much so much worse,” she added. “He is going to need a lot of physical therapy.”
