Chris Brown was thrown out of the Malibu rehab facility Friday for violating 3 internal rules ... including a special rule imposed specifically on him -- STAY AT LEAST 2 FEET FROM THE WOMEN.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the rehab facility imposed the 2-foot rule because of the Rihanna case -- specifically, that he beat her. The people who run the facility imposed the highly unusual rule, and we're told Chris violated it by touching elbows and hands with a woman.
As for the 2 other violations, we're told Chris left the facility last week on an authorized outing, but when he returned he was told to submit to a random drug test and he refused. Our sources say he later took the test and the results were negative, but the initial refusal was a violation of rules.
And the third violation ... the facility claims Chris made a mockery of rehab during a group session with some harsh comments.
How? The first rule is ridiculous, but he violated two others so technically, by the center's standards, he did do something wrong more than once. These centers don't have time to **** around with people who don't care enough to try and go with the flow.
The first rule isn't strange at all. He's a convicted abuser and he's in rehab. People who are trying to get clean tend to have withdrawal symptoms, some of which include anger and aggression, as well as depression. Keeping him away from women might be a bit much, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Especially with his temper.
