Restraining order
Chris Brown must now keep his distance from ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. The model was granted a domestic violence restraining order that says the R&B star must stay 100 yards away from her, her mom and her brother. In petitioning for the court order, Karrueche painted an unflattering picture of Chris, claiming he's beat her before and has vowed to kill her. She alleged that he's punched her in the stomach and pushed her down stairs. She also told the court that Chris "told a few people that he was going to kill me" because they are no longer together. Chris has denied any wrongdoing.

Another day, another battle
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton's custody battle for their 6-year-old son Julian took a bizarre turn this past after she accused him of wining and dining a court monitor to curry favor. In court documents, Paula said Robin tampered with evidence by taking the DCFS worker to a fancy sushi dinner at Nobu. Robin's people quickly countered, saying that the singer did, indeed, have dinner at Nobu with Julian and a case worker was there, but only because the court requires that a monitor to be at all his visitations. Robin's rep said the case worker did not eat or even sit at their dinner table and only sipped water.

Gunfire rang out in Las Vegas on Feb. 21 during a brutal fight between Sean Kingston and rap trio Migos. Sean was handcuffed and questioned following the brawl, but he wasn't arrested.

Money matters
Tori Spelling's husband Dean McDermott owes his first wife eight installments of spousal support, according to his ex. Mary Jo Eustace, who was married to Dean for 13 years, has filed an affidavit in which she claims he hasn't paid spousal support since July 1, 2016, amounting to $6,000 plus interest as well as attorney fees. In court documents alleging contempt of court, she also claims Dean owes her more than $100,000 in past-due, court-ordered support payments (they have a teenaged son together, Jack), reports the Toronto Sun. Dean is expected in court on March 7, which is around the same time that he and Tori are expecting their fifth child together.
Battery arrest
Comedian Mike Epps was arrested in New Orleans after allegedly attacking a tourist in a casino on Feb. 19. Two days later, he didn't show up for a court appearance on the matter, which also involved another alleged aggressor. An arrest affidavit didn't detail the scrum, only saying the men were "involved in a physical altercation" where they "struck" the victim and were arrested on a count of battery. The victim spoke to The Advocate and said the fight happened near the casino cage. "We kind of met right there in the middle and I recognized him. I said 'Oh, Mike Epps!' The next thing I know, he started hitting me in the face, unprovoked," the man said. "I had a handful of chips, so I just basically bent down to protect myself, and then my friends ran over and got in front of me, and then security got there."
