LOS ANGELES, May 6: Singer Chris Brown has been served with a restraining order from his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, while celebrating his birthday.
The star, who turned 28 on Friday, was leaving a nightclub in Houston, Texas, the night before his birthday, when he was served with the papers, ordering him to stay away from his former girlfriend, reported E! online.
“This has been a frustrating endeavour trying to serve someone who was clearly evading service. I feel better knowing she is safe and we can now focus on securing her a permanent restraining order, rather than playing cat and mouse with Mr. Brown,” Karrueche’s lawyer Michelle Trigger said.
Chris is currently on tour and reportedly had ordered his own legal team not to accept the papers on his behalf, leading Karrueche’s lawyers to hire a server to track him down.
Karrueche – who dated Chris on and off between 2011 and 2014 – previously claimed he threatened to kill her.
She issued a sworn statement to the court in February where she claimed he “told a few people that he was going to kill her.” (PTI)
