(Los Angeles, CA) Video of the Year award at the MTV VMA's went to Rihanna for "We Found Love" and her ex Chris Brown, who was also a winner that night, showed his admiration for her by kissing her publicly on the lips.

The two have denied getting back together in the past, but Rihanna recently admitted to Oprah that she is still in love with Chris and that "He was the love of my life."

The kiss happened when Rihanna had finished accepting her Video of the Year award when she was stopped by Chris Brown and given a kiss on the mouth and hug by him. 

She didn't seem to be bothered by it and happily allowed him to kiss her in front of everyone at the show.  Onlookers were said to be shocked to see the former volatile lovers kissing openly in public.

Rihanna has taken a lot of criticism for telling Oprah that she was more concerned about Chris Brown after he beat her to a pulp, than herself.  She said she was concerned that he needed help but no one was going to give it to him.

Could this have been a controlling tactic by Chris Brown to kiss her in front of Drake since the two have famously fought for her in the past? Weigh in and let us know your opinion!
