Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian Testified in Blac Chyna Defamation Trial | Here's What They Said
Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian took the stand Tuesday in the ongoing trial between Blac Chyna and the Kardashian-Jenner family in Los Angeles Superior Court.
According to People, Khloe was the first one to testify. The Good American founder opened up on several issues regarding the relationship between her brother, Rob Kardashian, and Blac Chyna and her alleged connection to the cancellation of the pairs' reality show.
Khloe was asked about the email she sent to her sister Kylie Jenner and E! Network's vice president of development programming, Jeff Olde, about Rob and Chyna's fight.
The fight between the former couple allegedly led to Chyna holding an unloaded gun near Rob, and she also reportedly tried to strangle him with an iPhone cord.
Chyna has since claimed in court that this moment was her "being funny." But Khloe told the jury that she was not comfortable with the abuse that was happening, adding that the family was concerned for her brother's safety and the credibility of the Kardashian-Jenner brand at the time.
Khloe Kardashian then said she has no connection to the cancellation of the "Rob & Chyna," adding that there was no season two planned for the reality show.
"I wasn't trying to cancel anything. I was considering not encouraging such volatile behavior between my brother and Chyna," Khloe noted.
She added that she does not have a say in the decisions E! makes, and their character of feeling strongly about a lot of things does not mean that everyone is going to listen to them.
Kim Kardashian Took the Stand After Khloe Kardashian in the Trial Between Black Chyna and Their Family
After Khloe Kardashian, her sister Kim Kardashian took the stand to testify in the trial. According to Fox News, Kim told the jury that she has no recollection of attempting to kill the reality show of Rob and Chyna.
However, she acknowledged that she demanded that Blac Chyna be kept off the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" after hearing that his brother's former fiancee had abused her brother.
"I will not go into a toxic work environment... On my own show, I have the power to do that," Kim said.
The reality star also commented on a series of text messages from late 2016 and early 2017 sent between her, her sisters, and the production company, Bunim/Murray, after the former couple's fight.
Kim noted that she was not sending the texts to get "Rob & Chyna" canceled. The text exchange includes some seemingly incriminating demands surrounding Chyna being filmed for "her" show. However, Kim said the quirk of technology replaced "our" with "her," noting that she uses voice dictations when sending long messages.
"This is clearly voice dictated, as is everything I text that's so long, and it's sometimes rendering 'our' as 'her. I would never refer to her show as 'her' show, I would say 'Rob's show' since it's a spin-off of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'," she noted.
Kim Kardashian added that the text recipient, Amanda Weinstein, did not work on "Rob & Chyna," and she and her family had no control or power over what the producers and the network ultimately decided about the shows.
Kim noted that as a cast member of the show, she can only withhold her own participation in the case of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
The SKIMS founder also said she does not remember telling both shows' producers about Chyna attacking her brother. However, she acknowledged the possibility that it came up in meetings about "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
The Kardashian-Jenner Family Called Blac Chyna's Claims Absurd
The Kardashian-Jenner family, through their attorney Michael Rhodes, urged the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss Blac Chyna's economic and emotional hardship claims in her lawsuit, according to PinkVilla.
Rhodes argued in their motion that Chyna, born Angela White, did not provide documentary evidence, economic analysis, or any expert testimony to back her claims.
"Before the trial began, these claims were absurd... Now that Plaintiff has testified in her entirety, and has no additional testimony or evidence to offer on her damages, Defendants respectfully submit that entering such an instruction would be a vastly inadequate remedy," Rhodes said.
Blac Chyna is suing Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, and Kim Kardashian for defamation and intentional interference with her contract at the E! network.
Chyna alleged that Kris and her three daughters defamed her and convinced producers and the E! network to cancel "Rob & Chyna." She is seeking $100 million in damages.
The model has been involved in a legal dispute with the Kardashians since 2017. That October, Chyna sued Rob, and his family, for allegedly tarnishing her brand and verbally and physically abusing her.
