The Kardashians Lawsuit dilemma
Who is Blac Chyna ?
According to Wikipedia: Angela Renée White known professionally as Blac Chyna, is an American model and socialite. She was born on May 11, 1988, to Shalana Hunter and Eric Holland in Washington, D.C. She began stripping in Maryland to pay for her college tuition. While attending Johnson & Wales University in Miami, Florida, she resumed stripping, eventually dropping out from exhaustion, after repeatedly falling asleep in class. She began to focus on stripping and modeling, taking the name Blac Chyna on a customer's suggestion as a stage name.
While stripping at King of Diamonds, a popular Miami club, Chyna's unusual and "exotic" look made her popular; radio host Angela Yee described her as looking "like someone who was going to be famous." In 2010, Drake name-dropped her in "Miss Me". Her rising popularity led to modeling jobs on the covers of Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. Later that year, she was cast as Nicki Minaj's stunt double in the song "Monster" by Kanye West.
Throughout her career, Chyna has undergone several surgeries for buttock augmentation and breast enhancement, but has also had surgery to reduce the size of her chest.
She originally rose to prominence in 2010 as the stunt double for Nicki Minaj in the music video for the song "Monster" by Kanye West. She gained wider media attention after being name-dropped in the song "Miss Me" by Drake the same year, leading to a number of magazine appearances, including pieces in Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. In 2014, she launched her own makeup brand, "Lashed by Blac Chyna", and a beauty salon in Encino, Los Angeles. She has since made a number of media appearances, including in her own reality television shows, Rob & Chyna and The Real Blac Chyna.

Founded by Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner, it consists of their children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian, as well as their grandchildren. After Robert and Kris' divorce in 1991, Kris married Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn), with whom she had two daughters: Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

"When they got my #1 hit show killed back in January 2017, that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, that hurt my beautiful KIDS," Chyna continued.
"I’m taking them to court to stand up for my legal rights and to be an example to my kids that 'what’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong' And what they did was so wrong," the statement added.
"I am so thankful that a jury will finally listen to what really happened behind closed doors - the lies that were told and the damage that was done. At the end of the trial, I’m going to be able to proudly tell King and Dream that I did everything I could to right the wrong that was done to me," she added.
