Tokyo Toni is asking fans to donate $ 400,000 so that her daughter can appeal the verdict in her defamation suit.
Chyna had accused Kim Kardashian, her sisters Khloe and Kylie Jenner and her mother, Kris Jenner, of making statements that ruined or defamed her reputation and of conspiring to have her TV show Rob and Chyna removed.
However, the jury returned a verdict that, while not completely exonerating the multimillion-dollar clan of any crime, still did not award any harm to Chyna.
After Chyna vowed to appeal, Tokyo, real name Shalana Hunter, has launched a GoFundMe to try to pay for her daughter’s appeal. Currently, 37 donors have raised $ 685.
Answer: Blac Chyna’s mother, Tokyo Toni, is asking fans to give $ 400,000 so her daughter can appeal the verdict in her defamation suit against the Kardashians.
Tokyo, 50, was expelled from the courtroom during her daughter’s legal battle after a scathing social media slide about the defendants.
During the jury selection process, he went live on Instagram and unleashed a furious tirade in which he said the Kardashians “looked dead” in flesh.
He called Kris “old and decrepit,” comparing her to Saw’s bad guy, and said, “Khloe was shaking her head at everything all the jurors were saying. Are you okay, bitch? You took some Xanax or something what before you get there, fuck?
Kardashian-Jenners’ lawyer then argued in court that Kris “was concerned about her physical safety” and the judge barred Toni from entering the courtroom.
The Los Angeles jury found that none of the members defamed Chyna, nor did she interfere with her contract by convincing E! network to cancel its reality show Rob & Chyna.
Kardashian’s four defendants – Kim, Kris, Khloé and Kylie – attended almost the entire trial, but when the verdict was read they were all in New York at the Met Gala, where this year’s theme was Gilded Glamor.
Chyna was in court for the verdict. He had no visible reaction.
After about 10 hours of deliberations, the jurors decided on the long form of the jury that the Kardashians often acted in bad faith, finding that they had no justification for telling Rob & Chyna executives and producers that Chyna abused her son and brother Rob Kardashian.
However, they found that it had no substantial effect on Chyna’s contract or the fate of the show, and was not harmed.
Making Money: After Chyna promised to appeal, Tokyo has launched a GoFundMe to try to pay for her daughter’s appeal. Currently, 37 donors have raised $ 685
Paying her way: Chyna shared a link to the GoFundMe page after the jury returned a verdict that awarded Chyna no harm.
E! The network, which aired the show, said Rob & Chyna ended because the relationship ended, not because of the defendants’ actions.
Kardashian’s attorney, Michael G. Rhodes, said the family was “lush” when he called them with the news.
“They are very happy,” Rhodes said. “I hope they enjoy their gala in New York.”
Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, said that based on her reading of the verdict, “the jury found that Chyna had not physically abused Rob Kardashian” and “the jury found that the four defendants had intentionally interfered. with his contract with E! Xarxa. ‘
“We will appeal to the remaining questions,” he added.
Party: Kardashian’s four defendants – Kylie, Kris, Khloé and Kim – attended almost the entire trial, but when the verdict was read they were all in New York at the Met Gala.
The jury was sent twice to deliberate further when it was found that in some questions in the case against Kylie Jenner the vote had been 8-4 when at least 9-3 was required in the civil case, but they quickly returned with 9- 3 votes and the result remained unchanged.
Jurors were considering the defamation case against Kris, Khloé and Kylie, after a judge dismissed the part of the lawsuit against Kim Kardashian in the middle of the deliberations.
The four women testified during the nine-day trial.
The trial focused on allegations that Chyna violently attacked her then-fiancé and reality TV co-star Rob one night and one morning in December 2016.
He testified that she twice placed a pistol in his head, wrapped a telephone charging cord around his neck, and struck him with a metal rod.
She testified that she had put the cord around his neck and grabbed his gun playfully as the two celebrated the renewal of their reality show, and when the celebration turned into a dispute, it was never violent against him.
But the legal issues the jury considered were all about the consequences of that fight. Jurors had to decide whether each of the defendants knowingly lied about the abuse when they talked about it with the producers and executives overseeing Rob & Chyna, or whether they made it public without considering the truth.
And they had to decide for each defendant whether those communications were illegal interference with Chyna’s contract to appear on the show.
Axed: The jury found that none of the members defamed Chyna, nor did she interfere with her contract by convincing E! network to cancel its reality show Rob & Chyna
In her final argument, Ciani argued that it was unreasonable for the four women to believe that her client violently attacked her ex-fiancé Rob Kardashian.
“I had no marks on him,” Ciani told jurors. “There were no calls to the police, no trips to the hospital, not even a band-aid.”
Rhodes argued during her closing that women had every reason to believe in the stories of Rob Kardashian’s attack and Kris Jenner’s longtime boyfriend, Corey Gamble, who arrived at the scene and broke up. dispute.
‘Remember how Rob looked at the booth? Their pain was real, “Rhodes said.” This is a real family. Yes, they are famous, but they are real people. It was very serious here. “
Fuming: Tokyo was expelled from the courtroom during his daughter’s legal battle after a scathing slide on social media about the defendants
During the trial it seemed that Gamble would be the key witness of the defense. But TV executives and producers whose testimony was often technical, and totally without drama, would be more important in the jury’s findings, making women’s abuse stories almost irrelevant.
The jurors were free to make a divided decision: to stand against some of the Kardashians but not others.
Instead, they gave the family a sweep and gave nothing to Chyna.
The case is not over for Chyna, however.
Separate charges in the lawsuit against Rob Kardashian, with him as sole defendant, split into a separate trial that is likely to begin in a week.
