Back in court. After losing a libel case against the Kardashian-Jenner family, Blac Chyna’s attention turned to her 2017 lawsuit involving Rob Kardashian.
The first rumors of an affair between the former couple appeared in January 2016. After three months of dating, China and Kardashian got engaged and announced that they were expecting their first child together. Their relationship was the focus of the reality show Rob and China on E!, which aired from September to December 2016.
The sock designer confirmed the couple’s separation shortly after their show was renewed for a second season. Amid a recurring relationship, China received a restraining order against Rob in July 2017 after he leaked explicit images of her on social media.
At the time, the model’s lawyer Lynn Ciani accused Kardashian of violating the California law on non-consensual exchange of sexual images. The explicit photos were later brought up during China’s libel case against her ex-fiance’s family. China was seeking damages worth more than $100 million, claiming that Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner played a role in the cancellation of her show.
In April 2022, China was presented with photographs when she acted as a witness. Explicit images and a restraining order were presented as possible proof that Rob and China could not return to E! if these two couldn’t act together.
During the trial, Rob spoke about his past relationship with Tea, speaking in court. “I was probably in the worst place in my entire life, at the weakest, lowest point,” he said. “She was the only person who brought me to the lowest point. So I ignored her bad behavior towards my family.”
Rob, who has a 5-year-old daughter Dream with Tea, noted that he was “very vulnerable” when he started dating his ex-girlfriend. “I didn’t think about it. My mind was just in a completely different place. It wasn’t true love,” he told the court, before clarifying that his child “wasn’t born out of spite.”
A month later, a judge ruled in favor of the Kardashian-Jenner family, and China was not awarded compensation.
“On behalf of Chris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie, we want to express our appreciation to the jury.”The jury sent a clear message to Ms. White and her lawyer – I hope they are listening. Justice has been done.”
Chyna’s lawyer said they plan to appeal the decision.
