In June 2009, Chris pleaded guilty to a felony and was sentenced to five years' probation and six months of community service. He also lost seven endorsement deals, had his songs dropped from several radio stations and pulled out of public appearances, including the 2009 Grammy Awards
And it didn't easily fade away. He was denied entry to the United Kingdom in June 2010 because of his assault on Rhianna.

By May, Chris said they broke up again.
