Why did Blac Chyna sue the Kardashians?
BLAC Chyna's legal battle with the Kardashians came to an end in May 2022 after almost five years.
Now, fans are wondering why Rob Kardashian's ex, Blac Chyna, sued the famous family.
Why did Blac Chyna sue the Kardashians?
In 2017, Chyna, 35, began battling the famous family in court.
The model requested the unaired footage made from what would’ve been season 2 of Rob & Chyna be handed over.
The reality series premiered in September 2016 and ran for one season. It was renewed but later canceled by the network.
In addition to the footage, Chyna also alleged in the lawsuit that Kris and Kylie Jenner, along with Kim and Khloé Kardashian, “defamed” her.
As the publication reported, the Los Angeles County Superior Court did not award Chyna any damages in the lawsuit over her canceled E! series with her ex-partner, Rob, 36.
The outlet then stated: "While the jury found the Kardashians’ behavior at times aligned with some of Chyna’s claims toward them, it determined their actions did not affect the longevity of Chyna’s reality show or her career overall."
Chyna had reportedly scored a big legal victory against the Kardashians in December 2020.
After years of back-and-forth, a judge ordered that the short-lived reality series' production company, Bunim/Murray, hand over the content, revealed.
Bunim/Murray reportedly had 45 days to hand over all of the footage.
She claimed this “conclusively proves that Kris Jenner lied when she claimed that Chyna had ‘beat the [expletive] out of Rob’s face’.”
The outlet also reported that a month earlier, Kylie and Rob sued Chyna for battery after alleging she tried to choke the father of her daughter Dream Kardashian with a phone cord.
Chyna's attorney added that the “executive-level decision-makers at the E! Network and NBCUniversal” — all of whom were white — “completely denied any due process to their black reality TV star regarding the fate of Season 2 of Rob & Chyna.”
In response, the Kardashian’s lawyer — Marty Singer — said: “This is a two-year-old lawsuit in which Chyna has changed her defense more times than we can count.
“Sadly, unsurprising to anyone, she has stooped to a new low, changing her defense to try to leverage the emotions and pain of the moment, insulting the pain and suffering of real victims of racial injustice and systemic racism."
