Blac Chyna is to take action to make Rob Kardashian pay her “substantial” legal fees.
Blac Chyna wants her legal bill paid
The reclusive sock designer had sued his former fiancee in 2017, accusing the make-up artist of being on drugs and trying to strangle him with a phone charger cord after striking him repeatedly in the head, but just days before a trial was due to begin next week, he filed to have the case dismissed without prejudice because he felt it was not in the best interests of their five-year-old daughter Dream.
Chyna’s team have accused Rob of only dropping the assault case because it was “baseless” and “vexatious” and vowed to take further legal action against him.
Chyna’s lawyer, Lynne Ciani, told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “Rob Kardashian should have thought of his daughter Dream before he filed his malicious and baseless assault and battery lawsuit.
“Rob has sought to use his wealth and power via this vexatious lawsuit to smear Chyna as a mother and even as a human being for more than four years.

“Rob dropped his case on the eve of trial, not because he suddenly wanted to drop the case ‘for the sake of his daughter,’ but because he knew his assault and battery accusations against Chyna were false.
“In other words, Rob’s avoidance of the serious consequences of an adverse jury verdict is why he dropped his case, not his supposed ‘concern’ for his daughter.
“Chyna will now seek relief from the court to make sure that Rob cannot refile his lawsuit and to make him pay for her substantial litigation costs.”
The former ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star insisted the court ruling there was “sufficient evidence” against Chyna to warrant a trial was enough for him and he was keen to focus on raising his little girl.
He previously said: “My love for Dream far outweighs my desire to proceed with my claims against her mother in a public trial.
“Now that the court has ruled that there is sufficient evidence to warrant a jury trial on my claim for assault, for our daughter’s sake, I am dismissing the action and focusing on my co-parenting relationship with Chyna.”
