Blac Chyna's mother blasted the Kardashians on social media amid the ongoing legal battle between Chyna and the famous family.
On Tuesday, the Kardashians' attorney Michael Rhodes claimed ahead of opening statements in the defamation trial that Chyna's mother, Tokyo Toni, made "veiled physical threats" against his clients online, People reported.
"She can't be in the courtroom," Rhodes said.
Chyna's lawyer, Lynne Ciani, argued that she has no control over Toni's social media activities but has told the mother that her behavior was "unacceptable" and agreed that Toni should not be inside the courtroom given the concerns Rhodes raised.
"I can't control her mother," Ciani said. "My client wants a fair trial. I already told her it was unacceptable and she can't be in the courtroom."
Toni blasted the Kardashian-Jenners via Instagram Live Monday night, following the jury selection for the trial.
In the video, Toni said Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian, who were all present in court during the jury selection Monday, "looked scary" in real life and mentioned them having "dips" in their faces, Page Six reported.
"It's just so sad. Then Khloé was shaking her f–king head off everything every juror said," Toni claimed. "You all right, b--ch? Did you have some Xanax or something before you got there, b--ch?"
The outlet noted that Chyna's mom appeared to be rolling a blunt throughout the livestream and became increasingly incoherent.
Toni also described Kris as "old and decrepit" before comparing her to "the little man on the tricycle" in the horror movie franchise "Saw."
"They look like they [are] dead," she added.
The Kardashian-Jenner family's attorney told the judge at Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday that "Ms. Jenner was worried about her physical safety" following Toni's Instagram Live rant.
Rhodes added that trying the case is "hard enough" with high-profile clients but even harder when he "has to worry about his clients."
During the jury selection, one potential juror, a man in his 50s or 60s, claimed that he had never watched the family's reality show. However, he noted that he watched Kim's sex tape, adding, "I don't think I can be impartial on this case."
Khloé looked upset at the mention of her sister's scandal. The same man later told the judge that it would be difficult to serve as a juror because he would be "replaying that sex tape over and over again," prompting Kris to shake her head.
Chyna — born Angela White — has been in a legal battle with the Kardashians since 2017. She filed a lawsuit against the entire Kardashian-Jenner family — including Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner — over claims of assault, battery, domestic violence, defamation and interference with prospective economic relations.
After splitting from Rob Kardashian in 2017, Chyna accused his family of helping sway E! to cancel her reality show, "Rob & Chyna," a spinoff to "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
Chyna is suing the family for $100 million, claiming that they ruined her reality TV career.
The Kardashian-Jenner family responded to Chyna's claims with a lawsuit of their own, alleging that the model had violently attacked Rob.
