Blac Chyna accuses Kardashians of trying to ‘financially RUIN’ her with jaw-dropping legal bill after trial
BLAC Chyna’s lawyer has accused the Kardashians of trying to “financially ruin” her by demanding that she pays a jaw-dropping legal bill.
The 34-year-old had previously sued the famous family for $100M claiming that they had ruined her reality TV career.
The Kardashian-Jenners are now attempting to recover $391,000 in legal fees, but Chyna, real name Angela White, is standing defiant.
In a statement shared with , her attorney Lynne Ciani said: “Kris Jenner’s attempt to financially ruin Angela White, the mother of her granddaughter Dream Kardashian, will not work.”
The mom of two, who shares her 5-year-old daughter Dream with Rob Kardashian 35, is still reeling from her legal loss.
Lynne states that her client’s refusal to pay up has a legal standing because, in California, where the trial took place, legal costs are only awarded to defendants “when they are without fault”.

Although the jury gave the victory to the Kardashians in the $100m suit, the jury also found that Kris, 66, Kylie, 24, and Kim, 41, had acted to protect their own economic interest.
The jury also came to the verdict that Kris and Kylie had “falsely claimed” that Chyna abused her ex fiance.
The lawyer’s statement explained: “Because Ms. White achieved these litigation objectives, defendants cannot be considered ‘prevailing parties’ under California law, and they cannot recover their exorbitant litigation costs of $391,000 from Ms. White.”
Chyna had accused the Kardashians of getting the second season of her E! show Rob and Chyna canceled in 2017 and ruining her reality TV career.
