Rihanna wants stay away ban lifted off Chris Brown

Melbourne (ANI): Barbadian singer Rihanna is reportedly very furious and upset over the fact that her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown has been ordered to stay away from her. Brown, 20, was formally sentenced on September 1 to five years probation for the February assault on Rihanna, and also to six months of community labour in Virginia.

He will be spending 1400 hours removing graffiti and washing cars. He has also been ordered not to contact the 'Umbrella' singer in any way for the next five years. He also must stay 100 yards from her, unless they are both at an entertainment-related event, in which he must stay 10 yards away.

But sources have revealed that Rihanna has been working to get Brown's restraining order lifted. "When Rihanna got word from her attorney that the judge refused to lift the ban, she was really upset," News.com.au quoted an insider as having told Britain's Now magazine.

"She started calling her friends and saying how stupid it was and that Chris would never hurt her again. She was really indignant about it," the source added.
