Blac Chyna vs Rob Kardashian: Exes to BATTLE it out in court over revenge porn claims
The exes, who started dating in 2016, are battling over an alleged agreement for Blac Chyna to drop her revenge porn lawsuit against Rob Kardashian. According to TMZ, Rob has claimed that Chyna backed out from an agreement they had for her to drop her revenge porn lawsuit against him. As per court documents, “They agreed he would help her get out of another lawsuit involving both of them, in exchange for dropping her suit against him.” And now, Blac Chyna's revenge porn claims will go to trial after the exes failed to reach a settlement.
As per People, a judge from the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County denied Rob Kardashian's previous motion to enforce a settlement over Chyna's allegations. "Chyna is very pleased that the trial judge denied Rob's motion to 'enforce' a settlement that never existed," Chyna's lawyer Lynne Ciani said in a statement, as per reports. "Without a settlement, Chyna will prove her case to a Los Angeles jury on June 20 that Rob posted devastating revenge porn of her to millions of his Instagram followers without her consent," the lawyer further added.

Ciani further stated, "Revenge porn is a very dangerous form of violence predominantly perpetrated against girls and women. Victims of revenge porn typically experience serious anxiety, shame, and helplessness. Some revenge porn victims have committed suicide. Rob Kardashian has never taken responsibility for his heinous and vengeful act of posting revenge porn against Chyna in July 2017. He was never criminally prosecuted. It is finally time for Rob to be held accountable in a court of law."
What is the lawsuit?
In 2017, Chyna filed a lawsuit against Rob Kardashian for verbally and physically abusing her. She claimed that she has suffered damages since her ex-fiancé's explosive social media rampage, including three naked photos while accusing her of drug/alcohol abuse and infidelity.
According to TMZ, Rob and Chyna had allegedly caused Justin C Jones, who is Chyna's ex, to be the target of cyberbullying after outing him as gay. Rob Kardashian's legal team said in their motion that Chyna and her lawyers asked Kardashian to "resolve the Jones case without her having to pay any money to secure a dismissal with prejudice."
In court documents, Kardashian also denied the allegations of verbal and physical abuse made by Chyna and said that she "did not suffer any injury or harm as a result of any conduct". He agreed to the deal in May but he alleged that Chyna, with whom he shares a five-year-old daughter, changed her mind and threatened to go ahead with the trial, which is set to begin on June 20, 2022.
