Why did Blac Chyna sue the Kardashians?
After Rob & Chyna was put "on hold" back in July of 2017 by E! News, Chyna sued the Kardashians for allegedly interfering with her career in reality TV.
E! told in 2017 that they plan to "follow the [Kardashian] family's lead" on what to do next with the spinoff.
Chyna's attorney, Lynne Ciani, told Us Weekly in a 2020 statement that she would "seek millions in compensatory and punitive damages from Kris [Jenner], Kim [Kardashian], Khloé [Kardashian], and Kylie [Jenner] for defamation, intentional interference with contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage."
On April 2, 2022, Chyna took to Twitter to update fans on the status of her lawsuit:
"When they got my #1 hit show killed... that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, that hurt my beautiful KIDS."
She added: "I am so thankful that a jury will finally listen to what really happened behind closed doors — the lies that were told and the damage that was done.
"At the end of the trial, I'm going to be able to proudly tell King and Dream that I did everything I could to right the wrong that was done to me.
"And that, in life, it is my hope that they will be able to stand up for themselves when it matters too," she concluded.
On April 19, 2022, Chyna had her day in court.
Khloé, Kim, Kylie, and Kris were all in attendance.
Chyna claimed in court on Wednesday that Kim "reached out and said she can't be friends with me anymore" after her sister, Kylie Jenner, started dating Chyna's former fiancé Tyga.
Chyna's testimony on Tuesday came after her mother launched a wild tirade on online warning the hearing judge: "I'm going to get you."
What happened after the trial?
On May 2, 2022, a conclusion was reached in Chyna's lawsuit against Kim, Khloe, Kris, and Kylie.
That Monday, the video vixen's defamation claims against the family were dismissed, and she was not awarded any damages.
On June 20, 2022, Chyna and Rob reached a settlement that was agreed upon outside of court.
On November 10, 2022, an episode of the famous family's Hulu reality show revealed that Chyna's lawsuit against them happened around the same time Kourtney was preparing for her wedding to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
During the episode where the family missed her wedding dress fitting, Kourtney shared: "I sent photos to my sisters and my mom, and they were all like, 'We wish we could be there; Blac Chyna's ruining it all.'"
