Why is Blac Chyna suing the Kardashians?
Blac Chyna, real name Angela Renée White, is fighting against the Kardashian-Jenners claiming the group was responsible for her show Rob & Chyna getting canceled.
The origins of the lawsuit stretch back to 2017.
The court case will determine if there is rightful cause for Chyna to receive a pay-out for the missed opportunity of a season two of her reality show.
Chyna was previously engaged to Rob Kardashian and they have a daughter together, Dream.

The pair starred in their own E! reality show together, Rob & Chyna, which aired for one season in 2016.
The second season was being shot when the two broke up, but was scrapped and never aired.
Chyna is suing the family for $100million, claiming that they ruined her reality TV career.
Chyna is seeking more than $40m for loss of earning damages and more than $60m in loss of future earning capacity damages, according to court filings.
The request also stated that the mother-of-two only be permitted to discuss their financial state if "the jury returns a verdict awarding damages."
The Kardashians claimed that Chyna has planned to "present evidence of the well-known fact of Defendants' wealth during the liability phase in connection with [Plaintiff's] intentional interference with contract claim.
The Kardashians have denied all claims and have asserted that the model has plenty of income through her other ventures, namely OnlyFans.
Who is expected to testify?
The opening stages of the trial started Monday in Los Angeles Superior Courthouse with jury selection and opening statements.
Kris, Kim, Khloé and Kylie are all expected to take the stand at some point.
Ryan Seacrest, who was an executive producer on Rob & Chyna, is also on the witness list, but might testify by video deposition as he lives in New York.
A number of Hollywood bosses could also be called to take the stand including executives from E! and Bunim Murray Productions, the company behind the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians franchise, as well as Rob and Chyna’s series.
