Two years after the R&B singer assaulted his then-girlfriend, a L.A. judge downgraded Rihanna's previous stay-away order to a level one order, allowing the exes to be in contact so long as Chris does not "harass, bother or molest" the pop princess.
Chris has been required to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna — or 10 yards at music industry events — ever since he pleaded guilty to assaulting the "Rude Boy" singer in a rented car after leaving a pre-Grammy Awards party in February 2009.
Along with his five years probation and 180 hours community service, Chris — who is releasing his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. next month — was sentenced to a year of domestic violence therapy, which he completed in January.
Rihanna was not present in court, but her lawyer indicated that his client had no objections to the looser restrictions of the "do not annoy" order, which now allows her ex-boyfriend to e-mail, call or even physically contact her.
The new order remains in effect until August 2014 when Chris's probation is scheduled to end.
