In a surprising move, singer Rihanna is allowing the restraining order placed against ex-boyfriend Chris Brown to be lifted, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The Grammy’s mark one of the most publicized celebrity assaults of all time and this weekend it will be two years since Brown’s vicious attack on the singer in which she sustained significant facial bruising and lacerations.

The 22-year-old songstress has requested that the order be dropped to a level one, so the two can have contact as long as Brown doesn’t harass or molest her.
