Blac Chyna's Lawyers Respond After Rob Kardashian Accuses Her of Trying to Get Out of Revenge Porn Settlement

Blac Chyna is addressing Rob Kardashian‘s most recent claims against her.

On Monday (June 6), the 35-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashian alum’s lawyers filed a motion to enforce an agreement that he claims Chyna, 34, had agreed to regarding their revenge porn lawsuit, which pertains to a leaked tape of Chyna and an unknown man from 2018.

In a statement to ET, Chyna‘s lawyer, Lynne Ciani, alleged that Rob and his legal team have “violated California law” by sharing details of the alleged settlement.

“Under California law, settlement discussions are confidential. Rob Kardashian has violated California law by revealing alleged details of ongoing settlement discussions,” Lynne said. “Chyna is permitted under California law to disclose that settlement discussions regarding her revenge porn case against her ex-fiancé are ongoing. When and if a confidential settlement is reached on this case, Chyna will alert the court first and then the media.”

She went on to discuss the pair’s trial in April, in which Chyna sued Rob as well as other members of the Kardashian family. While she lost the defamation and contract interference claims, Lynne states that “a Los Angeles jury soundly rejected Rob’s testimony that Chyna had physically abused him. The jury found that Chyna, in fact, had not physically abused Rob.”

In the documents filed by Rob‘s team on Monday, he claims that he “entered into a settlement agreement on terms first proposed 12 days earlier by Chyna” on or around May 23 regarding her revenge porn lawsuit in order to “avoid the expense and public spectacle of trial.”

“Unfortunately, after the parties entered into the settlement agreement, in a complete reversal, Chyna and Ms. Ciani repudiated the agreement and tried to back out of the deal because Chyna changed her mind,” the docs claim, alleging that Chyna and her attorney “acted in bad faith.”

The docs also suggest that their alleged settlement had to do with another lawsuit in which both Rob and Chyna are defendants. The pair, who share 5-year-old daughter Dream, are currently being sued by Chyna‘s former friend, Justin C. Jones, on the grounds of public disclosure of private facts and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Chyna‘s attorney allegedly agreed to settle or dismiss any claims in the revenge porn case in the event that Rob‘s legal team was able to secure a general release and settlement agreement with Justin where Chyna would not have to pay money or consideration to him.

The docs claim that days later, Chyna‘s attorney “sent an email memorializing the terms of the settlement proposal” to Rob‘s lawyers, who “sent an email accepting the settlement proposal” that same day.

“Because Rob accepted Chyna’s settlement proposal and agreed to obtain a general release and settlement agreement of the Jones Case without any payment to Jones by Chyna, Rob seeks a Court order enforcing the settlement agreement and dismissing the [revenge porn claims],” the docs state.

As Rob claims to have accepted the terms of the alleged agreement, the filing notes that the revenge porn lawsuit “should be dismissed with prejudice.”

“The proposal made by Chyna through her counsel was ‘sufficiently definite’ and the parties confirmed the other material term – mutual general releases – in writing,” the docs read. “With the email saying the releases were ‘confirmed,’ the parties had consented to the material terms of the settlement agreement.”

Chyna is obligated to dismiss her claims against Rob with prejudice and execute general mutual releases,” the docs continue. “No jury should be empaneled, judicial resources wasted or witnesses compelled to testify because the parties have already entered into a settlement agreement for dismissal of this lawsuit.”

The dispute will be addressed in a court hearing on July 11. Rob‘s lawyers have requested that instead of having the revenge porn trial begin on June 13 as it was originally scheduled, it be delayed until the court rules on his motion to enforce the settlement.

Rob gave an emotional testimony about his relationship with Chyna back in April, calling their relationship “toxic.”
