- In a new lawsuit, Chyna is accusing the Kardashian-Jenner family of racism, claiming it is reason why the show Rob & Chyna didn’t get a second season on E!
- Kardashian family attorney Marty Singer tells DailyMail.com: ‘This is a 2 year old lawsuit in which Chyna has changed her defense more times than we can count.’
- Neither NBC nor E! are said to be listed as part of Chyna’s lawsuit
The Kardashian family are hitting back at alleged claims of racism made by Blac Chyna over their E! show Rob & Chyna, just one day after Gabrielle Union filed a discrimination complaint against NBCUniversal, which also owns E!.
Chyna, 32, is accusing the Kardashian-Jenner family of racism, claiming it is the real reason why her reality show Rob & Chyna didn’t get renewed for a second season on the network.
In response to the claims, Kardashian family attorney Marty Singer tells DailyMail.com: ‘This is a 2 year old lawsuit in which Chyna has changed her defense more times than we can count.’
Claims: In a new lawsuit, Blac Chyna (pictured at this year’s Oscars above) is accusing the Kardashian-Jenner family of racism, claiming it is reason why the show Rob & Chyna didn’t get a second season on E!
‘Sadly, unsurprising to anyone, she has stooped to a new low, changing her defense to try to leverage the emotions and pain of the moment, insulting the pain and suffering of real victims of racial injustice and systemic racism.’
Singer added: ‘We take these allegations very seriously and once again, there is no Rob & Chyna show if there is no Rob & Chyna.’
Neither NBC nor E! are said to be listed as part of Chyna’s lawsuit.
Chyna’s ex-fiancé Rob Kardashian and his sister Kylie Jenner previously sued Chyna for battery charges after she allegedly tried to choke him by using phone charger cord.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Chyna’s attorney Lynne Ciani for comment.
In a statement to PageSix, Ciani claims that the matter of the show being cancelled would have panned out differently if Chyna was white, and also alleges that NBC never informed Chyna or her team of any allegations made by the Kardashian family regarding the battery charges.
‘No one at NBCUniversal ever informed Chyna that Kris Jenner had secretly accused her of severely beating Rob,’ Ciani claimed.

‘Next, without Chyna’s knowledge, Kris Jenner and three of her daughters (Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner) were able to convince E! executives that they needed to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the cancellation of Season 2 of ‘Rob & Chyna’ based on the false accusation that Chyna had severely beaten Rob.’
‘NBCUniversal executives never invited Chyna, the allegedly violent cast member (and also an Executive Producer of ‘Rob & Chyna’), to the emergency meeting.’
Per the report in PageSix, Chyna’s attorney also alleges in the new statement that had Chyna ‘been a white reality TV star’ rather than ‘the ‘unicorn’ black reality TV star,’ then the ‘accusation would have been quickly investigated by E! and NBCUniversal and proven false…’
