Chris Brown asks for Rihanna restraining order to be lifted
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 31 January 2011
Chris Brown’s lawyer has asked for the R&B wife-beater’s restraining order in relation to Rihanna to be lifted so to avoid logistical issues at next month’s Grammy Awards. Having Brown and Rihanna in the same room at the US industry’s big bash makes it precariously likely that the former may come within 100 yards of his ex, which would technically put him in breach of the law.
Of course, it was during Grammy weekend two years ago that Brown beat his then pop girlfriend to a pulp, leaving her unconscious on the sidewalk. But since then he’s undergone a year of domestic violence counselling and has been commended by judges on more than one occasion for his progress. He’ll hear back re the restraining order before the 13 Feb main Grammys show.
