Karrueche and Chris Brown Reunite at Coachella Eight Years Following Her Restraining Order, Fans Go Crazy With “Block Spinning” Theories

Beyond only music, Coachella’s first weekend also led to an unplanned reunion. Fans urged Karrueche Tran to “spin the block” on Chris Brown, the musician she claimed of physical abuse, after the two were seen having a brief, apparently amicable conversation more than ten years after their breakup. Laugh. 

The former couple was spotted briefly laughing and conversing in what looked to be a VIP area on day two of Coachella (April 12) in a video taken by The Shade Room on April 13. Tran, who was given a five-year restraining order against Brown in 2017, grinned once when the R&B singer smirked while saying something. The exchange suggested that the ex-boyfriends had moved past their widely reported relationship conflict, even if it’s unclear exactly what was said. 

In 2017, a five-year restraining order against Brown was granted to Karrueche Tran.

According to PEOPLE, Tran stated in court that Brown got hostile when she refused to return the diamond rings he had given her, and as a result, she was given a five-year restraining order against him in 2017. The Claws player filed a lawsuit after Brown allegedly threatened to harm her.

Tran claimed in court that the singer sent her a menacing text message that said:

One message purportedly said, “I can get my money back and I’m tired of playing games,” while another said, “B— I will beat the s— out of you… I swear that I will make your life extremely difficult.

She further stated in a different filing that Brown had severely “punched” her in the “stomach” twice and pushed her down the stairs after threatening to murder her via text message.

Social Media Responds

The internet, of course, had a lot to say. Fans expressed delight at what appeared to be a healing sign, but some questioned the encounter’s optics in light of their somber background. Some internet users interpreted the viral moment as a sign of optimism and demanded that Brown and Tran resume their romance.

Following a restraining order of five years? I would never even sneeze at a woman. However, I would wish her luck,” one user commented.

“Seeing mature folks move on from things is encouraging. Another person wrote, “Enjoying the moment.”

Another person speculated that Tran’s bright smile throughout her conversation with the singer was evidence that she wanted that old thing back.
