Rihanna Wants Restraining Order on Chris Brown Eased

By Rebecca Macatee Posted Feb 10th 2011 10:04PM

Last month Chris Brown requested that Rihanna's restraining order against him be lifted, claiming it made things "difficult at award shows and such." While the judge didn't immediately grant the request, she did suggest a modification to the current restraining order that would go into effect with the approval of Rihanna's attorney.

Now, RadarOnline.com reports that in a surprising move, the 'S&M' singer is allowing her restraining order against Chris to be softened. The restraining order was a result of the 2009 case against her former boyfriend for assaulting her.

The 22-year-old is reportedly requesting that the order be dropped to a level one. This would mean she and Chris could have contact as long as he doesn't "harass or molest her," according to Radar.

Chris has received glowing probation reports stemming from his conviction for felony assault. He was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor. "Out of thousands of probationers, no one has done a better or more consistent job than you have, and I really want to commend you for taking responsibility and actually working diligently to complete all the things the court has required of you," the judge told him.

In December 2010, Chris graduated from his domestic violence class and proudly tweeted out a photo of his certificate with the words "I'm done with class."

"I have enough self respect and decency to be proud of accomplishing this [domestic violence] class," he tweeted. "Boys run from their mistakes. Men learn from them!"

Chris will remain on probation until 2014. The lessened restraining order against him will make things a lot less complicated for the 'With You' singer at the upcoming Grammy Awards.

She's a sick, sad, sorry dumb woman! The media spent thousnads of dollars and hours covering these two dolts, only to have them back together with the year, I bet....Who cares????? Hundreds of millions of us are/have been unemployed for two years, close to losing our homes, barely eating, and we have to hear about the self-imposed issues of these soft-porn stars???? Please! Who cares??????????????????

Rihanna! STUPID MOVE! What message does this send to abused girls not yet out of their abusive relationships and ones that have finally left theirs?! YOU WILL BE THE REASON SOMEONE GETS KILLED. You are an example whether you like it or not. You signed up when you became famous and then cried about what Chris did to you. ARE YOU LIEING ABOUT IT Rihanna? Did he really do what you claimed? Your stupid.

WTF? you people are sad.

He's need to stay away from her because she is only doing it for attention. This has got his life back in order, and she can't stand that he is not interested in having anything else to do with her. Any woman who sings about S&M and makes videos where a man is abusing a woman is suspect in my book. Now she wants to use his status to get back into the spotlight. I have a feeling she doesn't have to lift the restraining order because Chris Brown is going to make sure he is nowhere in the same facility as her.

She asked for it . She must have nagged the snot out of the poor guy and he snapped . I feel sorry for him . Plus he is so ugly .

By Robert

Why would anyone let that no talent moron near any award show? he put himself in that position so why would any restrictions be eased. he needs to be fixed so that he can NEVER EVER reproduce. We can ALL agree on that.

By Tyler

Carter I think you mean she is so ugly because that is one ugly Girl . I'm sure she drove him crazy . And she probably did ask for it just being so ugly and dumb and ghetto .

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! anyone with half a brain can see that this young"lady" instigated a violent reaction from this boy!!!!!!! he should NOT have allowed himself to be baited and deserves some punishment and to learn his lesson but NOT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! why has not anyone talked about how young girls who are insecure encourage and entice these kind of reactions from their male counterparts who often are not mature enough to have the patience and restraint necessary to RUN LIKE HELL from a chic who is begging you to be violent with her? when is Rihanna going to be made to learn that even if you are a female it is not okay to put your hands an a male either?????? theonly reason i can imagine thatshe would even entertain lifting the order is because you cannot run from GUILT!!!! She knows that she helped create this debacle and since she is a female our society would pity her since she got the worst end of it. what discussion wouldwe be having if in her jealous rage she caused him to slam into a brick wall or plunge over a cliff?............ i'm just saying

I think Rihanna needs to go for counseling. It's obviouse, she has unresolved issues stemming from the DV incident between her and ex boyfriend Chris Brown. And it's my opinion that without therapy, history could very well repeat itself. Additionally, it more than likely RiRi will end up airing out her issues through her music where it does not belong. Young women are impressionable and as much as famous people want to deny it. What they do in public influences young people. I implore RiRi to take responsibility for her behavior and not to cop out to just being a "Rock Star".
