Blac Chyna
Blac Chyna Takes on All the Kardashians
Update: An LA judge comes down on the Kardashian’s side and dismisses Kris and Kim from Blac Chyna’s lawsuit for tortious interference of a contract. Bottom line: the judge didn’t believe Kim and Kris did anything to cause E! to drop Blac Chyna’s reality show. The claims against Rob still stand. And, certainly if Blac Chyna unearths new evidence against she can file another suit and name whoever she wants, including Kim and Kris.
Blac Chyna has decided that simply suing Rob Kardashian isn’t going to cut it in terms of righting what she feels are legal wrongs committed against her. On Tuesday, October 17th, 2017, Chyna filed a lawsuit against the entire Kardashian family. The main claim? The famous fam She is responsible for the cancellation of her television show Rob & Chyna.
This move comes after Rob Kardashian filed his own suit accusing Chyna of using him and his family name as a means for financial gain. Got a point here, Rob. Chyna, nee Angela Renee, tried to trademark the name Angela Renee Kardashian before she married Rob! (The request was denied, fyi.) In response to Chyna’s claims, the Kardashians claim that the cancellation of the show wasn’t up to the family, but to E! execs as well.
We would also guess that the frequently rocky relationship spelled doom for the show– a show about a couple generally requires a couple! Chyna and Kardashian began dating in 2016 and tales of their troubles have consistently been the subject of tabloid and media scrutiny. The “difficult” nature of their relationship rocketed into the spotlight after Rob posted naked pictures of Chyna on Instagram and Twitter, accused her of drug use, infidelity, and neglecting their daughter, Dream.
When this happened back in August 2017, Chyna immediately sought a restraining order against Rob, and began a domestic violence case against him. But then, miraculously, things started to look better for the feuding couple. On September 15th, Chyna dropped her domestic violence case against Rob, and the pair even negotiated a custody agreement for Dream.

But alas, nothing is ever simple in Hollywood–or the law–and Rob filed the lawsuit against Chyna referenced above, and the vicious circle of who’s suing whom continued to go ‘round.
In this most recent suit Chyna claims that Rob & Chyna had “stellar” ratings and that it was going to be picked up for another season, even though she and Rob decided to split up. Chyna isn’t wrong about the initial ratings. The series had drawn 1.4 million viewers for the premiere, but soon their ugly split was all over the media, and the ratings began to tank. This isn’t how Chyna sees it, evidently.
According to courts docs and Lisa Bloom, Chyna’s lawyer, “Rob Kardashian is an abuser intent on destroying Angela White [Chyna’s birth name], the mother of his baby, who left him in 2016. In revenge, the Kardashian-Jenner family became media predators, slut-shaming her on social media and killing her hit television show, which had already begun filming a second season.”
The complaint filed in this matter is really worth the read. But, to save you some time, here are some of our favorite allegations on the first page alone, “…little Dream, who Ms. White could not possibly love more and who Ms. White, despite her many powers, did not conceive by herself.” Or this dig at Rob for including the destruction of a gingerbread house in his lawsuit “…really: a gingerbread house…” she writes in italics for emphasis, and later “[The Kardashians] will even fund a lawsuit about crumbled cookies to get revenge on you for leaving a Kardashian.”
In Chyna’s eyes, the end of her reality television show was canceled because of Rob’s family. In her complaint, she cites an episode of KUWTK in which the family raises their concerns about Rob and Chyna’s unhealthy relationship. She believes that discussing this on television may have made it seem like cancelling the show was what was best, but instead, “the famous family was flexing their muscles so as to destroy Ms. White’s career so that she was no longer able to compete against the Kardashian-Jenner women as an entrepreneur and social media influencer.”
She is also accusing the Kardashians of leaking false reports about her to the media. Remember the story about Chyna leaving Dream at home to go to a party? Or how about how she demanded $50,000 in child support? She thinks that was the Kardashians. She’s suing for defamation and interference with contractual relations.
Here’s how we see it. Not to knock Chyna’s success (she has certainly made a name for herself) but she also is no competition for the powerhouse family that is the Kardashians. The word “family” hardly cuts it here: The Kardashians are an empire, and Chyna assuming that they would sabotage her show (and by proxy sabotage one of their own) seems like a bit of a reach. Kris Jenner is collecting a check, after all, so any cancellation would only serve to hurt the momager.
Chyna is also reviving her claims of domestic violence, suing Rob for harassment, assault, and battery. She’s also alleging that he abused and harassed her over text messaging, even threatening to kill himself. Other complaints include intrusion into private affairs, false light, disclosure of private facts, and interference with economic relations. Needless to say, it’s a pretty hefty lawsuit. It is filled with proof of Rob’s continued cyber-harassment and accounts of verbal and physical abuse. We want to make it clear that it is important for Chyna to speak on this abuse and get justice, but we’re just not sure if the suit against the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan will stick.
We’ll be KUWTL (keeping up with these lawsuits) as we’re sure the legal war between Chyna and at least one Kardashian will be waging on for quite some time.
All’s Well That Ends Well? Nah. More Drama with Blac Chyna Rob Kardashian
Just when we thought there was a handle on the drama between Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian, the exes threw us for a loop. Just two weeks ago we were excited to think that the couple had finally reached an amicable agreement. On September 15th, 2017, the exes with perhaps one of the most tumultuous relationships we’ve seen in a while, settled their domestic violence case. They had even managed to work out a custody plan for the daughter they share, 10-month-old Dream Kardashian.
In case you missed it, this whole thing started, on July 5th, 2017, when Rob Kardashian began posting explicit images of his ex on Instagram and Twitter. Rob was making claims of infidelity, drug use, and accused Chyna of using him for his money. Chyna swiftly hired Lisa Bloom (who represents the woman involved in the Kevin Hart extortion case as well as Quantasia Sharpton and two unnamed plaintiffs in the Herpes case against Usher). Bloom is well known in the revenge porn world (she represents Mischa Barton) and even before being hired by Chyna, Bloom had tweeted: “Note to Rob Kardashian: revenge porn is a crime. And in my Mischa Barton case judge agreed it’s a form of domestic violence. Knock it off.”
Bloom got the ball rolling on a restraining order against Kardashian, and explained that they would be seeking further legal action. Chyna and Kardashian seemed to be doing fine living their separate lives.
And then, a break in the case! A court official confirmed on Friday, September 15th, that Chyna agreed to drop the domestic violence case against her ex after a coming to a private agreement. The couple had been scheduled to appear in court on September 18th for the restraining order. Allegedly Kardashian is still planning on keeping his distance despite the expiration of the restraining order.
Lisa Bloom explained in a statement that while Chyna has chosen to “take the domestic abuse hearing scheduled for Monday, September 18th off calendar” Chyna still has options. “She will always have the right to go back into court if further incidents of domestic abuse occur.” Although there has not been any word of LAPD investigating Rob for revenge porn, it is a crime in California (as well as in 37 other states) so he certainly is going to have to control himself in that regard.

And as for custody of 10-month-old Dream? It looks Chyna and Kardashian will share joint custody. Though Bloom made sure to note that reports that Rob has “more than 50 percent custody” are untrue. She also said that claims that Chyna left Dream home alone while she went out partying, were “outrageous.”
“Like many working mothers, Chyna does sometimes leave her baby with a nanny while she goes to work. Rob should stop defaming the mother of his child and instead should become accustomed himself to the concept of working for a living, something Chyna has always done before, during and after her relationship with him to support herself and her children.” Gotta hand it to Bloom, like her own mother, famed lawyer Gloria Allred, she does stand up for the rights of working women. Need some ice for that burn, Rob?
And so although Chyna’s decision to drop the case did not resolve all of the issue between the two, at the time, it had certainly seemed to put to rest the nastiest and most distracting of all the claims. But, not so fast. Even though Chyna settled her custody war (and will be getting $20,000 per month in child support for Dream) she was not quite down with the Kardashians or Rob.
Turns out that Rob Kardashian believes in “an eye for an eye” apparently because on September 27th, 2017, Rob sued Chyna alleging she assaulted him in December of 2016. According to the lawsuit, Chyna tried to choke Rob with an iPhone charging cable, and then continued to beat him, striking him in the head and face. Rob says that she did all this as she was high on drugs and alcohol.
Kardashian also claims that Chyna went on a rampage around the house that they were renting from Kylie Jenner. According to Rob, Chyna’s rampage cost more the $100,000 in damages to the home. When rob tried to hightail it out of there, Chyna threw a chair at his car and hit Rob with a metal rod. If what Rob alleges is true, it looks like he was just biding his time, waiting for Chyna to drop her domestic violence suit so that he could go ahead and file his. He is suing her for assault, battery, vandalism, and also including Chyna’s contract for their reality show that ended up being canceled, “Rob & Chyna” for good measure.
So much for hoping everyone behaves.
