Blac Chyna vs. The Kardashians Is Officially Underway (Vulture)

Blac Chyna's $100 million defamation claims against the Kardashian family, accusing them of killing her reality show 'Rob & Chyna,' will finally be ...

Rob, in court papers, denied that he posted the images without Chyna’s consent and that they caused her mental pain and suffering, humiliation, and emotional distress. Chyna alleged that after she obtained a restraining order, Rob and Kylie retaliated by filing their own lawsuit against her, accusing her of assault, battery, and trying to extort the family for money. She accused the family of defaming her in the press and damaging her reputation. Chyna said that “in revenge, the Kardashian-Jenner family became a media predator, slut-shaming her on social media and killing her hit television show, which had already begun filming a second season,” according to her complaint. In June, E! green-lit the couple’s reality show Rob & Chyna, ordering six hour-long episodes as well as a special featuring the couple’s daughter, Dream, according to Chyna’s court papers. The Kardashians have since ended their relationship with the E! Network, with the last episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airing in June 2021, and transitioned to a new reality series on Hulu called The Kardashians, which debuted last week.

Blac Chyna's $100 Million Defamation Trial Underway as ... (Variety)

The Kardashian-Jenners appeared in court for Blac Chyna's $100 million defamation trial against the famous family.

In her 2017 lawsuit, Chyna said her reality show with her ex was already underway on a second season, but claimed the family intentionally put an axe to the series to spite her. Ahead of the trial, Chyna’s attorney said in a statement to the media that her client is “thankful” to be able to prove to a jury that all four defendants “abused their power” to cancel her show. During jury selection, the panels were questioned about their awareness of the star defendants and plaintiff, in order to weed out any biased individuals from the pool. I already told her it was unacceptable and she can’t be in the courtroom.” Kris, Kim, Khloé and Kylie, all defendants in the case, were present in the courtroom on Monday and Tuesday for jury selection and opening statements, though Rob did not attend. Chyna sued the entire family — Rob Kardashian, his mother Kris Jenner and his sisters Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner — over claims of defamation, assault, battery, domestic violence and interference with prospective economic relations.

"Rob spends a lot of time with Dream. She brings him a lot of joy. I already told her it was unacceptable and she can't be in the courtroom."

In a statement before the trial started, Ciani said her client was “thankful” to finally reach a jury after nearly five years. There is no Rob & Chyna show unless there’s a Rob and Chyna. This isn’t the Chyna Show. This isn’t the Rob show,” he said. “All four defendants — Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner — abused their power to get her No. 1 hit show cancelled,” Ciani said. Kris Jenner was like a second mother to Chyna, and Kim had been her BFF for years. Rhodes told jurors that Gamble “had to rush over to that house” to break up the fight. Their reality show, which aired for a single season in 2016, was produced by Bunim Murray Productions as a spin-off of the family’s flagship series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Ciani told jurors in her opening statement that Chyna was the star of E!’s No. 1 hit show, earning $92,500 per episode, when the rug was pulled out from under her. “The defendants’ illegal conduct not only cost Chyna millions and millions of dollars — their conduct was emotionally devastating to her. “Something happened, because it got a strong reaction from this group of women.” “There was no violent attack,” Lynne Ciani told jurors. Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, started dating Rob in January 2016. “Mr. Gamble had to physically get between them.

Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were in court on Monday and Tuesday, and all are expected to take the stand.

Ms Ciani said that Ms Jenner messaged the head of the show saying that Chyna beat her son with a pole and wrapped a phone-charging cord around his neck so tightly it left marks. One detail both sides agree on is that on 4 December 2016, on the day Chyna and Rob Kardashian celebrated the renewal of their show for a second season, the pair got into an argument that permanently damaged their relationship. "Kris Jenner set out to have Rob & Chyna cancelled," Chyna's lawyer Lynne Ciani told the jury, as Jenner and the other Kardashian women sat in the front row of the gallery. He also referred to Kim Kardashian as "one of the world's most famous people" and argued that Ms Chyna badly wanted what they have. A lawyer for Blac Chyna has told a jury that the Kardashian family worked together to smear her reputation and ruin her television career, a court has heard. The model is suing the family for $100m, claiming they defamed her and illegally interfered with her contracts and business dealings to drive her out of reality television.

Blac Chyna and the Kardashians Are Facing Off in Court (The Cut)

In 2017, Blac Chyna filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against the “powerful, vindictive” Kardashians, accusing them of killing her E! reality show, ...

The papers also state that Chyna’s restraining order against Rob made it “physically impossible” for her to perform in the series, and Chyna’s agreement with E! said the network had the “option and not the obligation” to include Chyna in additional seasons. Meanwhile, the Kardashians’ legal team maintained Chyna had attacked Rob at Kylie’s house, and that while the Kardashians wanted to spare Rob from further abuse, they ultimately weren’t behind the cancellation. According to a source for “ Page Six” inside the courtroom on Tuesday, they appeared “visibly annoyed” after a potential juror said he couldn’t remain impartial to the case because he had seen Kim’s sex tape and would be replaying it “over and over” in his head if selected. According to Rolling Stone, Ciani also claimed the Kardashian-Jenners “had a family vote” to cancel season two of Rob & Chyna. Things came to a head in July 2017, when Rob posted revenge porn of Chyna to his Instagram. (The social-media platform temporarily booted him as a result.) The two welcomed their daughter, Dream, in November 2016, and documented the ups and downs of their relationship on Rob & Chyna, which aired on E! — the network formerly home to Keeping Up With the Kardashians — from September to December of 2016. In court documents obtained by Vulture, the Kardashians insisted that Chyna had indeed “violently attacked” Rob, and that they had acted out of concern for his well-being. Chyna also filed a separate lawsuit centered around revenge-porn allegations against Rob, which is scheduled to go to trial in early May, according to Rolling Stone. (Rob filed to dismiss the lawsuit earlier this year, saying he wanted to focus on his co-parenting relationship with Chyna.) While the show’s premiere enjoyed record-high cable viewership in 2016, it was panned by critics, who called it “the saddest show on television.” From the start, it spelled drama for the Kardashian-Jenner family, as it overlapped with Kylie Jenner’s on-and-off relationship with the rapper Tyga, Chyna’s ex and father of her son, King. Rob and Chyna went on to hit relationship milestones at warp speed — in public, at least — announcing their engagement three months later. On the heels of their big, splashy return to reality TV, the Kardashians are in a Los Angeles courtroom this week to finally face a $100 million defamation lawsuit filed by Blac Chyna in 2017.
