Troubled singer Chris Brown has been ordered to stay away from an ex-girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran, after she said he punched her and threatened to kill her.\u00a0In documents made public Tuesday, a Los Angeles court granted a restraining order requested by Tran, with Brown facing arrest if he comes near her.\u00a0Tran, who has had an on-off relationship with Brown, said that the 27-year-old singer punched her in the stomach and pushed her down the stairs several years ago but that she did not call the police.\u00a0The model, who has also appeared in television series, said she requested the restraining order as Brown had recently sent her threats by text message.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told a few people that he was going to kill me. He said if no one else can have me, he\u2019s gonna \u2018take me out,’\u201d she wrote. Brown, who rose to fame at a young age with his R&B voice and later rap, has become notorious for allegations of abuse. He was convicted of beating Rihanna, then his girlfriend, before the 2009 Grammy Awards, forcing the pop superstar to miss the music industry\u2019s annual gala.<\/p>\n

Last year, he was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after an hours-long standoff with police. A woman had called for assistance in that incident, but Brown\u2019s lawyers insisted she had set him up amid a feud.Brown on Tuesday posted an expletive-filled video on Instagram in which he said to fans: \u201cMake sure you all don\u2019t be listening to this.\u201dIt was unclear if he was commenting specifically on the restraining order \u2014 or solely on his ongoing feud with another artist in legal trouble, the rapper Soulja Boy.The two stars have been trading punches over social media and had dared each other to settle scores with a real-life fight \u2014 a boxing match, which may prove lucrative for the two of them.<\/p>\n

Brown confirmed that he has walked away from the boxing proposal, amid online taunts by Soulja Boy, who is facing unrelated felony weapons charges. Brown called the match \u201cimmature\u201d and said that too many middlemen \u201cgot in the way because they want to get a piece of the pie.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Tran\u2019s friends also secured a restraining order against Brown after the singer allegedly threatened the man with violence.<\/p>\n

Tran believes the situation is a dire one as she says Brown might kill her if no restraining order is in place. Brown has maintained his innocence and asserted that his ex-girlfriend is lying. Tran is willing to the take stand and swear under oath to prove her claims though. If Tran is successful, the controversial singer will face jail time if he violates the restraining order.<\/p>\n

The new development in the restraining order case follows a report that Brown is on a \u201cdownward spiral<\/a>\u201d thanks to addiction and anger issues. One anecdote from the story detailed nights where the singer used cocaine, Xanax, molly and lean to self-medicate. Brown denied<\/a> the allegations, stating that he was \u201cnot hurting out here.\u201d<\/p>\n
