Kris Jenner took the stand on the third day of Blac Chyna’s $108 million defamation lawsuit against the Kardashian-Jenner family, telling the courtroom that she discussed allegations that Blac Chyna threatened her daughter Kylie Jenner with Tyga. and Kylie “numerous times.”
Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, called Jenner to the stand for the final hour of Wednesday’s session.
Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, is seeking $108 million in damages from the Kardashian-Jenners. She claims that she unfairly trash-talked E! Network executives five years ago, after she and Rob Kardashian split, jeopardizing the second season of the “Rob & Chyna” show. The family has denied the allegations in the lawsuit.
During Jenner’s testimony, Ciani asked about her statement on December 4, 2019, related to the case. Ciani read a passage in which Jenner claimed that Chyna “threatened my daughter’s life.”
Jenner told the court that she heard about the claim from Kylie and Tyga, who were dating at the time. Chyna and Tyga dated from 2011 to 2014 and were briefly engaged before splitting. Kylie dated Tyga from 2014 to 2017, and Rob Kardashian and Chyna dated and were engaged from 2016 to 2017.
Jenner alleged that she found out about the threats before her son Rob started dating Chyna.
“Kylie was dragged because she was dating Tyga and that’s where the assault came from,” Jenner told the court. When she was asked to explain the details of the allegations against Chyna, Jenner told the court “you’d have to ask Kylie” or “you’d have to ask Tyga” multiple times.
“I’ll stand by it,” Jenner said of what Kylie had told her, which included accusations that Chyna had cut off Tyga’s arm with a knife. Jenner said he never called the police on Chyna when she heard those stories and “we just kept it internal.”
Jenner later told the court that she “didn’t react much” when she found out Rob and Chyna were dating, after learning about the domestic abuse allegations.
“If you thought Blac Chyna was trying to kill her daughter, why didn’t she care that Rob dated her? Ciani asked Jenner.
Jenner noted that Ciani said “attempted” instead of “threatening.”
“That’s a big difference,” Jenner told the court.
“I’m sorry I misspoke when I said ‘I tried,'” Ciani said.
The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch, who took the stand in an electric blue suit and Travis Scott Jordan One sneakers, said in the courtroom that there has been “a lot of drama in my family and I’m used to it.” She said that she was happy for Chyna and Rob before things got out of hand on December 15, 2016.
“I didn’t know where I was going, it was a rocky relationship from the start,” Jenner said. “I just wanted my son to be happy, I just wanted him to be happy and I just wanted him to win. I tried to be a mentor to Chyna, helping out with businesses, baby nurseries, stuff like that.”
Jenner later told the court that as the executive producer of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” she was “not part of the internal discussions” with the network and was unaware that season 2 of the “Rob & Chyna” spinoff » out green light despite an E! Network statement about picking up season 2 of the series.
“I wasn’t aware of that,” Jenner told the court; his testimony will resume on Friday.
