Kardashian-Jenners Win Defamation Trial Against Blac Chyna
Written by SOURCE on May 3, 2022
Entertainment Tonight reports Blac Chyna will not be awarded any monetary damages after the jury ruled Monday in favor of Rob Kardashian and his family in her defamation trial. The lawsuit also named Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.
Chyna filed a lawsuit against the Kardashians and Jenners in 2017, accusing them of getting her E! reality show with Rob cancelled after one season as a form of “revenge.” She was seeking $100 million in damages.
The trial featured its fair share of bizarre moments and explosive accusations. During the jury selection process, one potential juror confessed with the Kardashians in attendance that he had not seen their reality show, but did watch Kim’s sextape which he believed would prevent him from being impartial.
Chyna took the stand and got emotional recalling her attempt to tell “my side of the story” by appearing on Good Morning America following the leak of her nude photos in 2017. Rob was accused of posting the explicit photos of Chyna on Instagram. She downplayed a 2016 incident where she allegedly pointed a gun at Rob, saying she never put her finger on the trigger and the entire gesture was meant to be perceived as a joke.
“It was not loaded,” she added. “I would never shoot Rob or anyone at that. It was just joking, like, ‘HA, HA!’” Chyna said she was also “joking” when she wrapped an iPhone cord around Rob’s neck, claiming she was trying to “get his attention […] not to strangle him” as he played video games.
When Kris Jenner took the stand, she claimed both her daughter Kylie and Tyga had been threatened by Chyna, with the rapper allegedly being physically abused by the mother of his son King Cairo on more than one occasion.
