Well, this was unexpected.

It looks as though Chris Brown began following Rihanna on Instagram Sunday, and in that short time, a flood of allegations and reports of flirtation have surfaced regarding the former couple. According to HollywoodLife, a source close to Rihanna reports that “They’ve totally been talking again.” The source goes on to say that “It started out on social media, and then progressed to texting. They swore to keep things platonic — yeah right. It’s already escalated to sexting. They’re addicted to each other. The smallest thing can put them right to where they started.”

Fans are of Rihanna are understandably concerned about this sudden reconciliation, as she was the victim of a vicious beating from Chris Brown just hours before their scheduled Grammy performance in 2009. The two have been cordial on the matter in subsequent years, but now, its obvious that the “Work” singer still has some feelings for her one-time hubby.

Meanwhile, Brown is facing a restraining order from another old girlfriend, Karreuche Tran, who claimed the singer threatened physically abused her and threatened to kill her on multiple occasions.
