‘ROUND THE WAY: LEONA LEWIS PROMOTES NEW BOOK + INFO ON HER BEING ATTACKED AT THE SIGNING!
Wednesday, October 14, 2009

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.’

Leona Lewis is not an angel.She was flirting with Chris Breezy at the pre-Grammy party back in February , she was switching and sending signals to Chris that he could get it,and Chris liked what he saw and flirted back ,clearly , there were sparks between her and Chris, However ,she made a lot of enemies and burned a lot of bridges because she is a liar,when Rhi discovered that it was Leona who was texting Chris and caused the fight between her and Chris, Leona lied about the whole thing,this has rubbed a lot of people in the wrong way and led to her being sucker punched.

Y’all must not remember the time that Li’l Mo got hit in the head with a bottle at a concert and I believe she needed stitches. That’s a shame, LL is lucky homeboy didn’t have a knife. The other people on the line must have been sick waiting all the time and then some asshole ruins it for them. This would never happened to B though, her bodyguard would have stomped due the second his hand cocked….

DON`T EVER INVITE RHI RHI AND LEONA TO THE SAME PARTY, BECAUSE IF YOU DO ,LEONA IS GONNA GET PUNCHED IN THE FACE AGAIN BY RHI . IF LEONA HAD ONLY BEEN A WOMAN AND TOLD THE TRUTH THAT SHE WAS THE ONE THAT TEXTED YOUNG BREEZY THAT NIGHT SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PUNCHED IN THE FACE. IT DON`T MAKE SENSE FOR LEONA TO KEEP ON LYING AND SAYNG THAT SHE WASN`T THE ONE , BECAUSE THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL TELL YOU THAT IT WAS HER.

The man that hit her is a B*TCH! When is it appropriate for a man to put his hands on a woman?? Too many are starting to think this is funny. I would bet money she’ll be ready next time.

HEY Did you guys notice that she changed outfits between the two pics? Her neck isn’t exposed in the first pic (before the hit) and after her neck is exposed with a coat over her body….why did she change clothes????

WTF is wrong with people today! And that shit ain’t funny! what the fuck was this person thinking?! What type of security does she have?! Shit, if y’all didn’t see, when that MTV interviewer rushed the red carpet to talk to Beyonce`, ol’ boy, the bodyguard was all over his ass! She had to tell homeboy to fall back and that it was okay! and u say clear as day that the reporter was for MTV- that’s a doggone shame though and you can see how stunned and hurt she was by this in that picture
BTW, I don’t give a damn how much you don’t like an artist, that doesn’t mean you can do some shit like that! Turn the radio off, play cds, iPods or whatever…stfd and hurt ya self

She needed some hood in her because she should have jumped up and pimped slapped him right back! But most of the blacks in London or those areas dont react that way. She is probably shook up because it very well could have been a gunshot. Cant believe some people find it funny. That aint funny somebody punching you in the face like you aint nothing! Bet it was some racist. While you laughing, he would have punched you for being black too. Why is things like that funny to you? You just as evil as dude.

@152>>>It’s strange you would mention Rihanna and Chris because I’m reading all these comments thinking, “Were people this sympathic when Rihanna got her ass beat?” Maybe they were, maybe not, I don’t remember. What happened to Leona is sad. Unfortunately this stuff happens daily to “ordinary” people. Hopefully when we hear the news, we are just as outraged as we sare showing Leona. I doubt it though.

Ok………her brother saw the whole incident, so what did he do? oh yea, he let security handle it. My brother/brothers would have fugged him up some kinds of bad,lmao. I dont think this is funny at all, how in the hell a man gonna punch a helpless woman in the face. Know that shyt hurt, I would have kicked him in the head while security had him down, fugg that.

That is f**ked up! I really can’t believe that some man would do that! Of all people, Leona Lewis??? She is so sweet, reserved, classy, and down to earth. She gives half of her earnings to charity! She really is a quiet and sweet person because she says she’s just herself and doesn’t feed into what others are doing. I could understand if somebody did it to Lady Gaga, Rihanna, or Pink, (I mentioned them because they have been known to either give attitude or just annoy people) Even if it was somebody else it still wouldn’t have been acceptable… but Leona Lewis??? If that was me I would strangled him! I hope she’s iight. I’m not a fan of her music, but I love her and her voice.
