On the stand Wednesday, Blac Chyna said she was “being dumb” when she wrapped an iPhone cord around Rob Kardashian’s neck and pulled a gun on him while they were still together, Insider’s Laura Italiano, Azmi Haroun and Palmer Haasch reported. .
As part of the lawsuit, Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, spent time defending herself against accusations that she physically abused her then-fiancé.
The iPhone cable incident happened in 2016 while the two were celebrating the passing of the second season of their now-defunct show “Rob and Chyna.”
Chyna pointed a gun at Rob and said, “If he ever leaves me, I’ll get him.”
“He thought it was funny,” he said of Rob Kardashian.
Kris Jenner, on the other hand, did not take the gun incident lightly, saying on the stand that she was “traumatised” by it.
“The gun pointed at my son’s head was not a joke.” Jenner said.
Kris Jenner tried to cancel “Rob & Chyna” and even messaged E! Network executives to “get rid of the bitch,” Chyna’s attorney said.

Chyna’s attorney said text messages from Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner proved that Jenner was involved in the cancellation of the reality show “Rob & Chyna,” Page Six reported.
The cause of the series finale, whether it’s the Kardashians meddling, as Chyna claims, or Rob and Chyna’s breakup, is a key issue in the case.
Lyenne Ciani, an attorney for Chyna, said that on December 14, 2016, when E! announced that “Rob & Chyna” would be picked up for a second season, an argument broke out between Chyna and Rob. Network executives, begging them to cancel the show and “get rid of the bitch.”
Ciani also said that Jenner insulted Chyna in the process, calling her “stupid” and “really ghetto.” Ciani claimed that Kim, Kylie and Khloé have also reached out with similar requests to cancel the show.
Michael Rhodes, an attorney for the Kardashian family, denied the allegations, saying that E! canceled “Rob & Chyna” due to the toxicity of the couple’s relationship.
Jenner also later said that as the show’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” executive producer, she was “not part of any internal discussions” with the network about “Rob & Chyna” being greenlit for a second season.
Although the details of the December argument are unclear, Chyna said there was no physical altercation between her and Rob, while Jenner said Chyna “punched Rob in the face.”
When asked to clarify the statement, Jenner compared the incident to the Oscars slap in the face between Chris Rock and Will Smith, calling her choice of words a “figure of speech.”

Kris Jenner said Blac Chyna made death threats against her daughter, Kylie Jenner, and Kylie’s then-boyfriend, Tyga.
Chyna and Tyga previously dated between 2011 and 2014 and have a son together. Kylie dated Tyga from 2014 to 2017, and Rob Kardashian and Chyna dated and were engaged from 2016 to 2017.
Jenner stood by her comments from a 2019 statement where she said Chyna had “threatened my daughter’s life.”
“Kylie was dragged because she was dating Tyga and that’s where the assault came from,” Jenner said. Jenner also claimed that Kylie told her that Chyna cut Tyga’s arm with a knife.
Jenner said she would leave the details of Chyna’s alleged threats to Kylie or Tyga.
I’ll stand by what she says,” Jenner said, referring to Kylie.
Chyna’s attorney then asked why Jenner was comfortable with Rob dating Chyna, to which she replied that she was “used” to “a lot of drama in my family.”

Chyna said she hasn’t filed tax returns since 2018 during cross-examination Thursday.
This wasn’t the only documentation he was having trouble remembering. When questioned, she said that she could not produce financial statements that could show financial difficulties after the cancellation of “Rob & Chyna” because she did not have her own bank account.
She also had no record of text messages between her and Rob that can pinpoint exactly when she and Rob broke up.
“Just check his phone,” he told Rhodes. “It is not so difficult”.
Jurors also learned that on February 21, 2017, Chyna may have signed a document that would throw out her case against the Kardashians, all in exchange for $100,000.

Michael Rhodes, Kardashian’s attorney, confronted Chyna about the document, which she denied ever seeing.
Finally, he said that the agreement did have his signature. It contained a clause stating that a $100,000 removal fee would be paid to him if the show was cancelled.
However, Chyna maintained that she did not remember signing it.
“I got the money and he got the job done,” Chyna said.

An observer told “Entertainment Tonight” that after Kardashian’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, handed Chyna a folder of photos, including nude photos of her, she was shaking and crying as she was comforted.
The nude photos are a key part of the Kardashian-Jenner argument in the case. The Kardashians argue that the show was unable to continue due to a 2017 incident in which Rob Kardashian leaked nude photos of Chyna, which led to him obtaining a restraining order against her.
When Rhodes handed her a folder filled with the images, it included a photo of her exposed genital region. The photos were not sent to the court register and were not shown to anyone else.
Chyna was a bit shocked by them and almost collapsed, according to court reporter Azmi Haroun of Insider.
When asked about the photos, Chyna replied, “Do you think I’m not supposed to let anything happen? Rob posted nudes of me on the internet. Do you want me to do nothing? So I’m supposed to sit down.” there and take it?”
