With her inner circle rumoured to be concerned over her actions, Rihanna has been looking decidedly down cast in recent days.
The singer, 23, was pictured out in London today looking far less glamorous than usual in jeans, Timberland boots and a baggy jumper.
She hid behind dark sunglasses as she made her way into a building clutching what appeared to be scripts.
New project? The singer clutched what appeared to be scripts as she left a buildingIt has been reported that the singer's friends are concerned about her reconnection with ex Chris Brown.
Sources close to the ex-couple told website TMZ: 'Rihanna and Chris are dangerously close to getting back together.'
Sources claim Rihanna is still head over heels for Chris - in spite of that night three years ago when she was brutally beaten by the singer.
Similarly it's claimed Chris - who is in a relationship with Karrueche Tran - also has extremely strong feelings for Rihanna.
But both Rihanna and Chris' friends are said to be 'terrified' they'll get back together - and are doing everything they can to prevent a possible reunion. Both camps believe it is a terrible idea both personally AND professionally.
But with both Chris and Rihanna's duets released this week friends fear they're fighting an uphill battle. One source said: 'You can't hold back love.'
Need a hand? Rihanna was helped along by a friend who also carried a giant bouquet of flowers One close friend of Rihanna's particularly concerned by the developing relationship is her mentor Jay-Z.
The rapper was said to be 'deeply disappointed' when he found out, according to RadarOnline.com.
The website quotes a source saying: 'Chris is absolutely dead to Jay, he wants nothing to do with him ever. Now that Rihanna is hooking up with Chris and recording songs with him, Jay is deeply disappointed in her actions. He can't fathom why Rihanna is doing the things she is doing.
'He understands the need for forgiveness, but he is adamant that Rihanna shouldn't forget what Chris did to her.'
