In her lawsuit alleging Rob Kardashian of publishing “revenge porn” naked pictures of her online following their breakup, reality star Blac Chyna has won the right to bring him to court for a trial.
This comes following claims made by Rob, 35, her co-star in the reality series “Rob and Chyna,” that the two came to a settlement deal in May and she abandoned her complaint against him.
But Chyna, 34, who dated Rob from 2016 to 2017, has denied signing such an agreement and wants her day in court to demand money damages from him.
In response, he dispatched his attorneys to a Los Angeles court to submit a request urging the judge to uphold the “settlement,” alleging Chyna was attempting to back out.
On Thursday, June 16, LA Superior Court Judge Gregory Alarcon sided with Chyna and ruled that no legal agreement was reached between the former couple.
He denied Rob’s motion to enforce the settlement agreement his lawyers said they had.
So the revenge porn trial will go ahead, starting this Monday, June 20 – unless Rob and Chyna come to a new financial agreement over the weekend.
In the settlement Rob claimed he and Chyna brokered, she supposedly agreed to drop the revenge porn lawsuit if he got her removed from another unrelated lawsuit brought against both of them by her former friend, Pilot Jones, who accused them of falsely outing him as gay.
His attorney, Todd Eagan, argued on Thursday that the settlement Chyna now says she didn’t sign, was actually agreed upon on May 23 via email by her attorney Lynne Ciani.
He added, that Rob lived up to his side of the bargain by getting Chyna removed from the Jones lawsuit.
‘We performed the request…..And we got the dismissal (of the Jones case), signed by Mr. Jones.’
But now, he said, Ciani is trying to renege on the agreement and push for the revenge porn trial anyway.
She is attempting a re-trade after we fulfilled our end of the bargain, according to Eagan.
They are now stating, “We want hundreds of thousands of dollars,” which is a typical bait and switch.
Ciani referred to Eagan’s request to have the settlement Rob, according to him, had reached, as “absurd” and “preposterous.”
She informed the court on Thursday that “there is no binding agreement to enforce.” They are attempting to uphold a void contract.
