Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna were set to go to trial over a bitter dispute involving illicit photos of Chyna that Rob posted to social media. Jury selection in the case was set to begin today. Instead, the two sides appear to have agreed to a settlement.
TMZ reports that terms of the deal are unknown. Rob Kardashian had been fighting hard to keep the case out of court. The two had earlier struck a deal to end the case, but Blac Chyna backed out.
The two sides appear to have worked something out. Blac Chyna was seeking a seven-figure settlement deal after the 2017 leaks. The amount of the new settlement agreement is not known.
If the settlement included financial considerations, Blac Chyna will have to consider it a win. She has been going after the Kardashians’ money for quite a while. A lawsuit between Chyna and the famed reality TV family resulted in a big loss. The Kardashians are currently trying to get Blac Chyna to pay their legal fees.
If Chyna can walk away with some money this time, it will be interesting to see if she keeps going at the Kardashians. Thus far, she has only embarrassed herself. After losing her court case, Blac Chyna tried to start a GoFundMe to raise cash for an appeal but failed miserably.
Time will tell how much, if anything, Kardashian will fork over to settle the revenge porn case with Blac Chyna. This could be the first step toward her attempting to file an appeal in the defamation case against the entire family. It’s an odd way to raise money for legal costs, but it might work out in the end.
