THINGS have become nasty between KARRUECHE TRAN (28) and CHRIS BROWN (27). The actress and model says the singer has been stalking her and threatenin­g to kill her.

In light of her accusation­s, Karrueche has been granted a temporary restrainin­g order, which requires her ex-boyfriend to stay at least 100 yards (about 90 m) away from her.

In new legal documents she says the Body On Me singer has “threatened to kill me to others, threatened me via text messages and threatened to harass my friends”.

“Around the second week of February he told a few people he was going to kill me. He said if no one else can have me then he’s gonna ‘take me out’,” she says in the documents. “I have text messages from December 2016 to January 2017 where he’s made several threats, including beating me up and making my life hell.”

She claims the abuse began years ago, saying Chris “punched me in my stomach twice and pushed me down the stairs”. She eventually broke up with him after it emerged that

he’d fathered a child, Royalty (now 2), with model Nia Amey (33).

But a close source to Karrueche says Chris had been trying to get back together with her ever since. “He texts her and leaves her crazy messages – one day saying he loves her, the next day saying things like, ‘I’m going to ruin you and make your life a living hell.’ She had to change her phone number a few times.”

A neighbour of Chris, singer Kay Cola (31), also came forward, saying she can’t take internet trolls calling Karrueche a liar. “Some of y’all make me sick to my stomach talking about Karrueche’s lying. I’ve heard him beating her myself. I even called the police . . . I used to cry over that situation, hearing her screaming at the top of her lungs,” she tweeted.

Chris of course has a history of domestic violence – he was arrested and found guilty of beating his then girlfriend, singer Rihanna (now 29), in 2009. While he hasn’t responded directly to Karrueche’s accusation­s, the Grammy winner posted a video on Instagram, telling his fans not to listen to the “bulls**t”.

“What all them other people on the outside doing? Let them do what they doing. I don’t know what the f**k they talking about.”
