Chris has a long history of legal troubles, including, of course, his 2009 assault of Rihanna ahead of that year’s Grammy Awards. He completed probation in 2015, but less than one year later, he was arrested at his L.A. home after a woman, Baylee Curran, called police and accused Chris of threatening her with a gun. He was released after posting a $250,000 bail. Chris was then arrested once again in July 2018 for an outstanding felony battery warrant, but was eventually released on $2,000 bond.
The singer has been spending time in Paris for Paris Fashion Week, and was spotted packing on the PDA with his rumored on-again girlfriend, Ammika Harris, during the trip.
