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. (Click here to read more about those matters) Link to this https://proofwithjillstanley.com/alls-well-ends-well-blac-chyna-drops-domestic-violence-case-rob-kardashian-custody-agreement-reached-dream/ It’s interesting to note also that LAPD don’t seem to have ever investigated Rob’s posting of naked pictures as revenge porn though the conduct does seem to sit squarely within the definition (for more info about revenge porn, click here).

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.

The Kardashian’s DASH Store is Consistently Under Attack

Celebrity News, Kardashian

Both legally speaking and literally (there’s a machete involved, guys.)

The Kardashians have been experiencing drama with their string of DASH stores for some time now, though the last 6 months have been particularly tough ones in terms of the law. In March 2017 the LA outpost of their clothing store, Dash, was vandalized in the early hours of the 16th. A vandal spray-painted the front of the West Hollywood location. He/she (at the time of this writing the suspect has not yet been identified) certainly wanted to get noticed– bright red paint was the color of choice to mar the storefront. Dash employees acted quickly and the act of vandalism was promptly cleaned up. The storefront was not significantly damaged (If it were, insurance would have kicked in but then Dash would not be looking quite so lovely quite so quickly as insurance companies are not known for their speedy response time to claims!)

This isn’t the first time the Dash West Hollywood on Melrose has had issues with vandals. June 2017 a man threw a molotov cocktail into the store’s window. Luckily, the shop was closed at the time so no one was injured. The fiery “bomb” did shatter the store window but not much else was damaged. That’s good news because a sweatshirt at Dash will set a shopper back a cool hundred (though again, insurance would kick in to cover damaged merchandise).

Dash’s original store in Calabasas (the SoCal town where the Kardashians live) was the target of a spray paint “event” back in 2009 and though the message was sweet, it’s still vandalism–a fan tagged, “We love you Kim,” on the store’s window. It happened another time at the Calabasas location and also at the Miami store.

This latest turn is a weird one, though. On September 21st, 2017, a woman walked into the store and pointed a gun at two employees, threw some merchandise onto the ground, and said, “Stay away from Cuba.” As if that wasn’t jarring enough, she came back to the store armed with…a machete! She ranted on the sidewalk for some time as cameras looked on, yelling, “The Kardashians will be executed if they step on Communist territory! They’ll be f-cking killed!” When a brave person told her to shut up, she threatened to stab them. The police are still looking for her.

Needless to say, Dash doesn’t seem to be having much luck, despite the enormous fame of the owners. The Kardashian sisters closed the Dash NYC location in December (2016 which, by the way, we at PROOF had been in several times and really liked!) and the Las Vegas location has been shuttered for more than two years. We know most things these sisters touch turns to gold but maybe retail just isn’t for them?

Kendall Jenner is the Latest Kardashian to Have Her Jewelry Stolen

Another day, another Kardashian crime victim–thankfully no threat of violence in this one.

Kendall Jenner is reporting that $200,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from her jewelry box in her Hollywood Hills home. While this theft occurred in the midst of the rash of celebrity burglaries at the hands of the knock-knock burglars, it’s not likely the result of that gang of thieves (For more information about the recent knock-knock burglaries, click here). Most think the culprit is someone Kendall knows or a friend of a friend who has access to her house because there were no signs of forced entry at the property.

On March 15, the 21-year-old hosted a party at her $6.5 million mansion, but for some reason she left her home for about an hour around midnight. Kendall’s security guard was stationed outside of the home but that didn’t prevent the bling stealing. Both a Rolex and Cartier are among Kendall’s missing goods. Apparently, Kendall didn’t realize the items were missing until after 1 AM but she called the police as soon as she did and reported the theft.

Much like her sister, Kim after the Paris burglary, Kendall fired the security guard who was hired to protect her and her house. Can’t imagine either of these guys thought they might be keeping their jobs. Good, swift decision, Kendall. You need someone who can actually do what they’re hired to do.

To date a suspect has not been identified but Jenner’s home has surveillance cameras so police are hopeful the footage will help find whoever is responsible for this crime.

Obviously we do not think Kendall deserved this anymore than Kim did or all the other celebs who have had their property stolen these past few months but police do suggest that celebs stop posting about their lavish lives on social media — it just makes it all too easy for criminals.

Interestingly, Detective Dunn of the LAPD also suggests that celebs “go public” and describe what has been stolen as it can help recover the items. For example, this has helped recover a stolen Super Bowl ring, among other things.

Though we know it’s not popular to say we feel bad for a Kardashian but we do feel sorry for Kendall. At PROOF we don’t like to see anyone used, taken advantage of or being the victim of a crime just because of who they are. We hope the thief responsible is apprehended and the world soon knows the type of “friend” this person really is.

Kardashian’s DASH Store Continues to Face Problems
