The Kardashians Will Go to Court to Challenge Blac Chyna’s Lawsuit Against Them

The Kardashians are challenging the basis of Blac Chyna’s lawsuit against them and asking a judge to toss her case.

Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian West and Rob Kardashian’s attorneys filed a “demurrer” objecting to and asking for a dismissal of Chyna’s lawsuit against them, in which the mother of two claimed the Kardashians were responsible for E! not moving forward with the planned second season of Rob & Chyna, the former couple’s reality show documenting the birth of their 1-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian.

In the documents filed Dec. 21, the Kardashians allege Chyna, 29, herself prevented the show from filming after receiving a domestic violence restraining order against Rob, 30, in July.

The order prevented Rob from contacting Chyna “either directly or indirectly, in any way” and required him to stay away from her, her home and place of work.

According to the filing, “Given Plaintiff’s conduct in seeking and obtaining a restraining order that required Rob to stay away from Plaintiff and her workplace, no trier of fact could possibly find that it was reasonably probable that a second season of Rob & Chyna would have been picked up and filmed.”

The filing also states that Jenner, 62, and Kardashian West, 37, have a court date Jan. 18 in Los Angeles to present their case for having the lawsuit dropped.

In October, Chyna filed the lawsuit against her ex-fiancé for allegedly damaging her brand and verbally and physically abusing her, which he denied.

The complaint, which asked for unspecified damages, also named Kris Jenner and all of his sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian West, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. The lawsuit was later amended to name only Jenner and Kardashian West, as well as Rob.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
