Rihanna avoided what could have been a very awkward situation on Sunday by skipping the red carpet arrivals at the BET Awards in Los Angeles.
The R&B artist, 27, was seen already in her seat inside the Microsoft Theatre while her ex Chris Brown, 26, posed for photographs outside.
Her decision comes one week after she and rumored new beau Karim Benzema almost came face to face with Brown at Hollywood nightclub Hooray Henry's.

Frosty: Rihanna, right, made sure she got seated inside the BET Awards show Sunday in LA and avoided an awkward encouter with ex Chris Brown, left, on the red carpet
Solo: Karrueche Tran, 27, who dumped Brown in March, didn't seem to care about possibly encountering her ex on the red caret and showed up in a revealing cropped and transparent bustier
But Brown's most recent ex Karrueche Tran had no qualms about being seen arriving for the big event and happily posed solo for photographers.
Brown and Rihanna famously had an acrimonious break-up in 2009 after Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault following reports he had beaten the singer.
They later rekindled their romance in 2012 but split for good in 2013.
However, it's clear that Rihanna, who, it seems, attended the BET Awards solo, would rather not have to encounter the Loyalty hitmaker.The same could not be said for Karrueche.
The 27-year-old model obviously didn't worry about possibly bumping into her ex even though she recently issued a very public rebuke to Brown who has been trying unsuccessfully to win her back.
Karrueche dumped the recording artists three months ago after it was revealed he'd fathered a child with another woman.

Rihanna and Brown hit the headlines when they first began dating in 2008 but in 2009 their high-profile relationship made news for a very different reason.
An explosive argument between the couple ended with a physical altercation that left the Barbadian beauty hospitalized.
The rapper, then just 19, turned himself in to police and was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats.
He subsequently pleaded guilty to one charge of felony assault in relation the incident and received five years probation.
Following the split, Brown went on to date Karrueche and Rihanna started a romance with baseball star Matt Kemp.
But the former couple reignited their relationship during 2013 before finally splitting for good in 2013.

Brown returned to Karrueche but she dumped him in March when she found out about his baby daughter Loyalty.
Brown has been persistently pursuing the model in recent weeks and trying to win her back, with no success.
Speaking on Ryan Seacrest's radio show earlier in June, the Only singer said he's doing his best to make up for past mistakes and 'be a man about it.'
Despite reports he was actively trying to win the pinup back, he insisted there's no reunion on the cards.
Meanwhile, Rihanna has been spotted in public several times in the past few weeks with Real Madrid soccer star Karim Benzema, 27.
She and the Frenchman have become a fixture at trendy night clubs in both NYC and LA with Rihanna sporting a series of very revealing sexy outfits.
