The Kardashians Reportedly Threatened to Leave E! If the Network Didn’t Cancel ‘Rob & Chyna’
Round two! Blac Chyna is hellbent on making the Kardashian family pay for allegedly tarnishing her brand and preventing her from becoming a reality TV star. Chyna first tried to sue Kris Jenner and her daughters for defamation but the case was thrown out back in January. Now, she's claiming that the Kardashian/Jenner family threatened to pull their hit reality TV series Keeping Up With the Kardashians from E! if the network did not cancel Chyna's short-lived KUWTK spin-off, Rob & Chyna.
In documents obtained by TMZ, Chyna claimed that there was a consipracy to pull the show — which only aired for one season on E! — from the network's roster and they allegedly threatened to take KUWTK to another network if E! did not comply. She alleged that there was a "key meeting" between Kris and her daughters Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Khloé Kardashian in January 2017 where they allegedly came up with the plan to keep Chyna in the dark about the reason for the show's cancellation.
Chyna starred on Rob & Chyna with her ex-fiancé Rob Kardashian, and the Kardashians have said that the reason why the show was canceled was because of poor ratings and because of Rob and Chyna's nasty split, after which she was granted a restraining order against Rob which would have made it impossible for them to film together. But Chyna claimed that the ratings weren't an issue, so much that they had already started filming for Season 2 before the show got the ax.
Meanwhile, sources previously revealed to In Touch that Rob is actually siding with his baby mama on this one. "Rob’s at odds with Kim and Kris because Chyna’s convinced him they were out to ruin her name and sabotage her career from the jump," a source told In Touch exclusively. "He’s asked his mother and sisters to help Chyna get her own show on E! or pay her a fortune to drop her lawsuit."
