A verdict has been reached in the Kardashian-Jenner family’s trial againstRob Kardashian’s ex-fiancéeBlac Chyna.
Since April 20, Chyna — born Angela White — had been involved in a legal battle withKris Jennerand her daughtersKim Kardashian,Khloé KardashianandKylie Jenner, suing them for defamation and intentional interference with her contract at E!. The trial comes five years after Chyna, 33, filed her lawsuit against them.
On Monday, a judge at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles ruled that the Kardashian-Jenner family were cleared of all the key questions. No monetary damages were awarded to Chyna.
Though jurors were sent back into the jury room to answer two outstanding questions that they accidentally skipped, that didn’t change the outcome of the ruling. All lawyers were present for the ruling, as well as Chyna. However, the Kardashian-Jenner family did not attend, as most of them were in New York for the Met Gala.

In response to the verdict, the Kardashian-Jenner family’s attorney Michael G. Rhodes said he had just spoken to his clients and “they’re happy to have this behind them.”
“I think the case was very clear. The jury did a great job, they got it. The family was very pleased and grateful, they were exuberant,” Rhodes said.
Chyna’s attorney Lynne Ciani also spoke after court, but wouldn’t comment on her client’s reaction and only stuck to the facts of the case. “I’ve never seen in my career before a jury have to go back and deliberate on four questions,” she said. “The victory is that Chyna did not physically abuse her fiancé, Rob.”

In early April, Chyna said sheintended to “re-focus” her attention on the trialagainst her ex-fiancé’s family. “When they got my No. 1 hit show killed back in January 2017, that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, that hurt my beautiful KIDS,” she wrote on Twitter.
“I’m taking them to court to stand up for my legal rights and to be an example to my kids that ‘what’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong,'” she continued. “And what they did was so wrong. 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.”

Chyna added, “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.”

The trial unveiled a series of explosive allegations, including an alleged altercation that Kris’ boyfriend,Corey Gamble, witnessed involvingChyna throwing a chair at Rob’s car. At one point, Kris, 66, saidshe believed Chyna tried to kill her sonin another alleged physical altercation involvingan unloaded gun.
Inan emotional testimony last Wednesday, Rob said he was at the “lowest point” in his life when he was dating Chyna, which is why he didn’t end things sooner or intervene with her alleged interactions with his family.
“I was probably at the worst place in my entire life, at my weakest, lowest point. She was the one person who brought me in at my lowest point. So I ignored her bad behavior towards my family,” he said. “I was very vulnerable. I wasn’t thinking about that stuff. My mind was just in a completely different place.”
“It wasn’t real love,” he continued, adding that he cared for her because they had a child together. “My child wasn’t born out of spite.”
“It wasn’t a real type of love or we’d have been married. I didn’t want to be married to someone like that. It was a toxic relationship and nothing I’d want my daughter to see, or how I was raised or how my father raised me. It was a toxic relationship from day one,” he added.
