On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kim Kardashian discussed over lunch the defamation lawsuit against Blac Chyna, the ex of their brother Rob Kardashian.
“The mother of my brother’s daughter is suing me, Kylie, Kimberly, and my mom for defamation and interference with contract, and the trial starts next week,” Khloé said in a confessional. “She is saying the Rob & Chyna show didn’t get a second season because we interfered with it, not because they weren’t in a relationship anymore.”

“If she doesn’t fulfill her end of the bargain, why would we have to go forward with the case?” Kim asked. “She could still go through with the claim of who’s right and who’s wrong, but then no damages.”
Rhodes noted that “it wouldn’t end the case per se, but it would take a lot of the sting out of it.”
Kim then added: “She had a restraining order against my brother? How could they even do a show together if there’s a restraining order and they physically can’t stand next to each other?” she asked Rhodes.

“I definitely am really nervous because I know, in a lot of the justice reform work that I’m in, is that when a jury’s involved, there’s no telling how people will side. Even if you have the truth on your side, and you believe in your team, you have no idea what the outcome is gonna be,” the mom of four said in a confessional.
“She’s suing us for over $100 million, and we’re leaving our fate in the hands of 12 random people,” Khloé said. “What if they hate us?”
Kourtney joked, “No one hates us, Khloé,” as Kim said, “Hopefully, they find people who just don’t know who we are.”

I’m just saying it’s gonna be stressful and annoying, and while she’s suing us, Dream’s at my house,” Khloé, who has a close relationship with her brother, says. Chyna and Rob share daughter Dream Kardashian, 5.
In June 2022, the Kardashian-Jenners’ legal team asked Chyna to pay almost $400,000 in reparations for the court costs the family spent on the defamation case.
