UPDATED 4:22 p.m. E.T.: Rob Kardashian is reportedly under criminal investigation following alleged threats to Pilot Jones, who was recently rumored to be spending time with Blac Chyna. Kardashian has been accused of "physically" threatening Pilot Jones, TMZreported Thursday. Jones is said to have "close ties" with Chyna.

"Leave my wife alone," Kardashian reportedly texted Jones, a so-called "law enforcement source" toldTMZ. "I'm not playing with you." The source said Jones now feels "scared" following a series of similar text messages from Kardashian, though a separate source says the threats of physical harm are "murky and general."

News of the alleged threats come just days after the Sun and other totally serious publications ran undated photos purporting to show Blac Chyna and Pilot Jones kissing. The two were believed to be an item or whatever prior to Chyna's relationship with Kardashian. "[They] kissed and made out every time they saw each other," an alleged "insider" toldRadar Wednesday. "They even started to develop feelings too. It was a flirty type of relationship, and they hung out every day."

According to a separate report from TMZ at the top of the month, the likelihood of Kardashian and Chyna's Keeping Up With the Kardashians spin-off getting renewed for a second season are pretty low. A big part of the problems surrounding the production, source close to E! revealed, is that the network is having difficulty getting the two to shoot together. E! bosses are now reportedly even considering a separate series sans Kardashian, focusing instead on the "TV gold" of Chyna.

Shortly after the news surrounding the alleged threats started to pick up, Blac Chyna shared a lengthy condemnation of Jones' claims on Instagram. "The only reason we took those pictures other than me trying to be a good friend was so he could send it to his boyfriend to make him like jealous & say that he's going back to girls!" Chyna wrote. "Mind you at the time I THOUGHT THIS WAS MY FRIEND and I didn't see a problem with it!!! This was over two years ago people!! [sic]"
