Singer Leona Lewis poses for pictures with her new book ‘Dreams’ at Waterstone’s booksellers in Piccadilly on Wednesday afternoon in London, England. These photos were taken before she was reportedly attacked by a fan during the signing. According to an eyewitness:
My brother saw the whole incident. He [the attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her. He [my brother] actually heard the impact. Suddenly the security all jumped on him and they were trying to pull him out and he was just laughing, he thought it was funny.” [READ MORE]
Leona is pictured below leaving the signing with dark sunglasses and is visibly shaken. Her management released this statement shortly after:
‘Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack this afternoon at her book signing. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologizes to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings.’

wtf?!
well she looked nice…sorry she got hit though
That is horrible..but a little birdy tells me just how sick the people of England are of Leona and her records. NO EXCUSE, but let’s just say some people will be horrified and others will be laughing.
We live in a sick and cruel world. This kind of thing is beyond me, why someone would be so animalistic.
thats just some random crap yall, how could someone just out the blue take their stresses out on her…
That was mean and unnecessary.
She’s ugly, and her songs suck!
OMG!!! THAT IS JUST SAD!! WHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!!!! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO SMDH!!! EVIL PPL
awwww poor girl.. thats damn wrong
Something tells me if this was someone else yah’ll would be laughing.
What sick soul would do that girl like that?
OMG This is terrible! I feel so sorry for Leona.
—— That’s totally insane. Who would go out of there way to do domething like that?!!
Publicity stunt. SMH.
Now that’s just wrong.
Thank God sumbody slapped that big nose bitch! Hopefully she keep bleeding love!
This is really sad. What is wrong with people these days??
SMH. People in this world. If you don’t like her records, turn off the radio. Why waste energy to go to her signing!?
Lord forgive me for laughing but her face in that 2nd pic is hilarious
Oh that is so sad, I hope she’s okay.
That is so fucked up. People always wanna do stupod shit. That was just so mean. She’ll never 4get that.
There are some sick people out there…their actions not always warranted, no rhyme or reason, just sick in the head.
…this loser probably has some sick obsession…
Sorry she had to have that happen to her, that pic of her crying hurts my heart.
She looks amazing…and WTF? Thats horrible, shes so sweet and soft spoken and humble I dont understand why anyone would want to attack her. Life’s a BITCH
he did her shady
some people are so fucking STUPID!!!!
wow how sad. n shame on these comments about her attack how childish of u all.
Well she looks pretty. I am a bit confused by the second photo though where she looks ugly. Are all the photos of the same woman?
DEAD did someone on here just comment that this was a stunt for publicity? ARE YOU ON SOME TYPE OF SUBSTANCE? GTFOH.
Is it just me or is that white woman in the background of the second pic supressing a smile??
publicity stunt tho?? come on ppl who really wants a left hook to the face? at a book signing at that? who ever said that is and idiot n deserves a punch of their own>>>NEXT she looked nice ppl are a mess these days ppl think they can do anything with out being punished…i’d find his ass and get pizzaid!
WOW HOPE SHE’S OKAY. SHE LOOKS SO HURT IN THAT LAST PIC.
STAY UP LEONA
WOW…I WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK UNTIL I SAW COMMENT #17…I COULDN’T HELP BUT LAUGH A LITTLE INSIDE.
AT THE PICTURE, NOT THE SITUATION, CAUSE IT WAS PRETTY MESSED UP.
AND @ #12…..WOW, YOU’RE AN IDIOT.
some of you guys are ridiculous, regardless of what you think of her music she did not deserve to be punched by some random dude for no reason whatsoever.
the second pic is of her crying after the incident and you’re commenting on how ugly she looks in it? like i said before ridiculous.
That is just sooo sad!
Leona is lovely, i cant think of ANY reason why someone would want to hit her!
i really do hope shes ok!
This is so wrong!!!
She should have used the heels on her shoes to stab that fucker in his throat!!!!
Then she wouldnt look so hurt in that second pic…fighting back is the best medicine.
——Something’s not adding up! Totally irrational behavior??? WTH?? I feel sorry
——that she was attacked, but I reserve comment until I hear his motive. These
——random act of violence are never what they seem. Like the Yale student or the
——CB assult.
——Leona, Kandi and Jennifer all found out that being a star has a dark side. But, be
——careful ladies, because a falling star don’t stop until its in the ground. First, Tina
——then Rihanna and now Leona gets punched by silly men. Jealousy? Envy?
That’s a dam shame…this is just the reason why celebs keep fans at a distance.
My first reaction would have been to hit his ass back.
HA
WOW!!! What a sad incident made even sadder by the fact that some asses find it funny.
To those who thought it amusing: karma is a bitch.
@@ #35.
REGULAR, EVERYDAY PPL EXPERIENCE THOSE THINGS AS WELL…IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH FAME.
HOW ABOUT “LIFE” ITSELF HAS A DARK SIDE.
Damn that’s messed up…
But what is this book suppose to be about??? A book? R u serious Leona… Im surprised we haven’t heard anything about this book on CL…
OMG! I feel so bad for her! She seems so sweet and she looks so sad in that pic! I feel so bad for her! I know it was a signing and you are supposed to interact with the fans, but this just goes to show that Security has to be really tight especially with females entertainers! You NEVER know what people are gonna do these days! I really hope she was ok!
@ Debra: Me too gurl! It would have been on! I bet she had on heels too! Chile, i would have went to town on his ass!
@41 a man hit her you fool!
her skin colour has nothing to do with it :S
Damn thats messed up!!!People on here laughing until someone randomly sock them in the face,so childish. I hope she gets better….
People r sick in the heads seriously who does that? Poor girl
I think this is really mean. Would any of you like someone to hit you like that.
#14 told #6 to do it!!….I think the dumb fucker #6 did it!!!
Its sad to see that ppl are so cruel…she appears to be a sweet girl
I hope that she recovers soon and that her security team tightens up
@ 41: You are an idiot and you sound like a racist! Did you even read the article, it said a MAN attacked her! Get yourself some damn business and get off the internet!
Even if she is ulgy or her music sucks, no one have the right to hit her.
Wow
@ #14-you are so wrong….but I had to lol at that last part
Her security needs to be fired ASAP!! That should not have even happened. He must have sneaked that punch in quick as hell!
Im tired of this overrated skank, shes everywhere. What has she done to deserve an autobiography so soon? Her and that damn shady ass Simon Cowell make me sick.
But then again this could’ve been a publicity stunt, she does have an album coming out and now a book. Oppurtunist!
——STFU #41 you damn dummy! Let the black women wear whatever the hell they want! I personally dont wear weave and dont knock the ones that do! I’m tired of hearing some ignorant shyt from a man acting like women get all dolled for YOU!
—–Phuck you and 2 muthaphuckas just like you! Keep your dam mouth shut before you get something put in it. Besides the post read that a man punched her…not a African American female numnutts!…
—–anyway..I hope that Leona will be okay.
#41- CAN YOU READ?!!!!…..The post CLEARLY says A MAN HIT HER!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! That is crazy! I really hope she is ok! For all the people laughing and saying this is a publicity stunt really need help! Does the look on her face say publicity stunt! She looks devasted! Poor Leona!I hope she wan’t hurt to bad! I can’t believe the other people in the line didn’t jump his ass! Security should have tazered that fool! This just don’t make no damn sense how crazy people can be! I hope she is ok.
Some one ya’ll are just ridiculous. Whether you like her or not no one deserved to just be punched or slapped in the face for no reason. What if that happened to you? Some of these comments are so ignorant.
i actually like this High Yella’s singing too.
she looks like a tranny. I heard she used to be a man
I agree with #55 comment, some ppl are so silly.
Next time make a better album.
@41
What the hell? What you just said made absolutely no sense. What makes you think that it was a dark skinned woman who hit her? Were you there? If i recall, it said a MAN hit her. Smh. And btw, DARK SKIN WOMEN arent the only ones who wear weaves. Some light skin women wear weaves, hell even some white women do! You don’t speak for all black men. To me, it sounds like YOU’RE the one full of hate! Smh, when will this end?
