Kim Kardashianwill no longer be named as a defendant inBlac Chyna’s lawsuit against the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Chyna — born Angela White — had initially sued ex-fiancéRob Kardashian’s family in 2017 for defamation and intentional interference with her contract at the E! network. Kim, 41, motherKris Jennerand sistersKhloé KardashianandKylie Jennerwere the ones being sued, in particular.
The trial didn’t commence until five years later on April 20.
But Chyna’s legal team countered that she “has the right to a jury trial against DefendantKim Kardashianfor defamation,” adding that it would be “completely contrary to law” to remove the SKIMS creator.

Additionally, the judge stated that Chyna’s “unrelated assertion” that “the alternate jurors were chosen in such a way that the randomness and fairness of the alternative juror process was not secured” is false.

Before this month’s trial, Chyna said what Kim, Kris, 66, Khloé, 37, and Kylie, 24, allegedly did to herwas “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,” she tweeted. “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.”
Several explosive revelations have emerged during the trial, including details about an alleged physical altercation between Rob and Chyna where she wieldedan unloaded gun. Kris, in fact, saidshe believed Chyna tried to kill Rob.
