Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna attend birthday celebration in 2016

Kim Kardashian has told a court of her resentment of working alongside Blac Chyna after she allegedly beat Rob Kardashian with a metal rod.

Chyna and Kim’s younger brother Rob were dating when they had their own reality TV show titled Rob and Chyna on E! Network, which also hosted Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

After season one of Rob and Chyna ended, it was said Chyna was paid $370,000 to appear on four episodes of the hit show featuring the Kardashian family – much to Kim’s disgust.

The Los Angeles Superior Court heard on Tuesday how an email from Kim at the time read that at E! “nobody listens to us…No one respects us”.

It was then reported the 41-year-old urged her sisters to contact E! executives following her brother’s fight with Chyna in December 2016 in which he was allegedly assaulted with a metal rod.

Kim, wearing a grey pin-striped suit, explained to jurors in court: “I was upset that Rob was so emotional and upset.

“I remember trying to be supportive of my brother – he was being so emotional.”

She continued: “It’s all such a blur,” before she described how she remembered Rob looked “red and puffy and exhausted and drained” at the time.

Kim added: “It was our show and she’s not a family member.”

Chyna, who shares five-year-old daughter Dream with Rob, is suing the Kardashian family for defamation and says they were too involved in her contract on their show and her spin-off series.

Kim has been named as a defendant in the $108 million suit alongside sisters Khloe, 37, Kylie Jenner, 24, and their mum Kris Jenner, 66.

Kim was questioned by Chyna’s attorney in court on Tuesday about the text messages she is said to have sent to her sisters regarding Chyna and was also asked whether there was ever a family meeting to talk about cancelled season two of Rob and Chyna.

Lawyer Lynne Ciani pointed out an email Kim sent to KUWTK producers which discussed her taking a break from the show and hinted the rest of the family would do the same if they continued to include Chyna in scenes.

Ciani asked Kim: “You already got Chyna off her show (Rob and Chyna) and now you didn’t want her on your show (KUWTK) either?”

The SKIMS founder responded: “I’m just saying this is our show. We have the discretion of what we’re going to film content wise.

“Why would you want to put my brother in this situation if he’s going to end up crying and she’s (Chyna) just going to show up to film and not be with him?

“Why would we film with her on our show? It was our show and she’s not a family member.”

Khloe also testified on Tuesday, saying she was also worried about what might happen down the line should a second series of Rob and Chyna be filmed.

She confirmed comments made by her sister regarding the metal rod and said: “I know it was a metal rod. I saw red indentations on my brother’s neck.”

But, she was adamant the family didn’t have any control over whether the show would be cancelled.

This claim was later confirmed by Adam Stotsky, the former president of the network, who said: “With all due respect to [the Kardashians], they do not have the authority to kill Rob and Chyna, only E! has the power to do that.”
