KEY POINTS

  • Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner appeared in a Los Angeles courthouse Monday
  • They were present to witness their legal team and Blac Chyna's lawyers select the jurors for the trial of the model's lawsuit
  • Chyna is suing the Kardashians, alleging they were responsible for influencing the cancellation of "Rob & Chyna"

The Kardashian-Jenner family showed a united front at the jury selection in Blac Chyna's defamation case against the group.

Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner appeared in a Los Angeles courthouse Monday, according to courtroom sketches obtained by People. TMZ was the first to report the news.

The reality stars were present to witness their legal team and Chyna's lawyers select the jurors for the trial of the civil case Chyna filed against Kris, 66, Kim, 41, Khloe, 37, and Kylie, 24.

Chyna was also spotted making her way into the courthouse. Rob Kardashian, who split from the 33-year-old model in 2017, was not at Monday's proceedings. The exes share 5-year-old daughter Dream.

Chyna — born Angela White — is seeking "millions in compensatory and punitive damages" from the Kardashians for "defamation, intentional interference with contract and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage," the model's attorney, Lynne Ciani, told Us Weekly.

Chyna initially filed the lawsuit against the Kardashian-Jenner family in 2017. After her relationship with Rob, 35, ended that year, Chyna claimed that the Kardashians were responsible for influencing the cancellation of her reality show, "Rob & Chyna," a spinoff of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Rob and Chyna starred in the series for one season. A spokesperson for E! told Variety at the time that "Rob & Chyna" had "not been in production for several months and the series is not currently on the E! schedule."

Before the show's decision was announced, Rob leaked nude photos of Chyna on social media after the pair's falling-out. She has since claimed that the revenge porn incident, in addition to Rob's family's influence at E!, led to the show's cancellation.

The Kardashians filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, but a judge denied the request in October 2020 based on "substantial evidence" submitted by Chyna of unaired footage she claimed was supposed to be used on Season 2 of the show.

The Kardashian family's attorney, Michael Rhodes, addressed the allegations, saying in a statement to Entertainment Tonight: "We aren't going to sully the process by responding to slanderous nonsense."

Chyna addressed the legal battle via Twitter earlier this month, saying she will "re-focus my attention on my trial against Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim, Khloe and Kylie."

"When they got my No. 1 hit show killed back in January 2017, that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, [but also] hurt my beautiful KIDS," Chyna, who also shares 9-year-old son King Cairo with Tyga, claimed in the statement. "I'm taking them to court to stand up for my legal rights and to be an example to my kids that 'what's right is right, what's wrong is wrong.' And what they did was 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 concluded: "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."

Chyna said in her April 2 post that the trial would start in 13 days.
