Producers at Sunday night's BET Awards had a logistical nightmare on their hands ensuring Chris Brown wasn't in violation of the restraining order taken out against him by his ex, Karrueche Tran.

According to TMZ, the awards show went to great lengths to ensure the 28-year-old singer didn't come within 100 yards of his former girlfriend.

Both stars were in attendance at the show in LA, with Chris performing, while his 29-year-old ex was a presenter.

Producers at Sunday night's BET Awards had a logistical nightmare on their hands ensuring Chris Brown wasn't in violation of the restraining order taken out against him by his ex, Karrueche Tran.

According to TMZ, the awards show went to great lengths to ensure the 28-year-old singer didn't come within 100 yards of his former girlfriend.

Both stars were in attendance at the show in LA, with Chris performing, while his 29-year-old ex was a presenter.

Sources say she didn't watch his performance on a screen from inside the room, and instead simply waited it out.

Furthermore, Chris never sat in the audience during the awards show.

He was kept backstage throughout the show to ensure their paths never crossed and to maintain the legal distance required between them.

Last week, a judge ordered the restraining order stay in place for the next five years.

The troubled singer was first served with papers for the restraining order during his birthday party back in May.

According to the sometime model, Chris had threatened her with violence following their break up, and had been abusive towards her during their five-year on-off relationship, which began in 2010.

It's not the first time the Loyal singer has been slapped with a restraining order by one of his exes.

In 2009, the star was ordered to stay 50 yards away from Rihanna after he assaulted her following a 2009 pre-Grammys party.
