Blac Chyna's attorney says they may appeal the decision

In December 2016, Deadline reported that E! renewed Rob & Chyna for a second season. Later that month, however, Rob announced that the couple had officially split for good: “My baby girl is 1 month old and Chyna took her and left this beautiful home I just bought for us,” he posted on Instagram. On her Instagram, Chyna confirmed she was “DONE” with the relationship, claiming that Rob “verbally abused” her on a near-daily basis.
One month later, Chyna retaliated with a defamation lawsuit against Rob and the Kardashian family. The lawsuit, which cited Kris, Kylie, Kim, and Khloé among its defendants, claimed Chyna and her brand suffered “significant damages” from what had transpired.
Meanwhile, the Kardashians’ legal team maintained Chyna had attacked Rob at Kylie’s house, and that while the Kardashians wanted to spare Rob from further abuse, they ultimately weren’t behind the cancellation. “There’s no doubt that Chyna was physical with Mr. Kardashian,” said Rhodes, who argued E! scrapped the show because Rob and Chyna’s relationship had grown too toxic to air. “There is no Rob & Chyna show unless there’s a Rob and Chyna,” Rhodes said.
Kris continued her testimony on April 22, telling jurors she was “traumatized” by Chyna pulling a gun on Rob in 2016, roughly two months after Kim was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. “It’s not a joke,” Kris told the court. When Chyna’s legal team asked Kris whether she believed Chyna had attempted to murder her son, Kris responded, “I do,” adding that she believed both Rob and Chyna were under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the alleged altercation.
Rob said Chyna pointed a gun to his head twice during their 2016 altercation. Rob took the stand on Wednesday, testifying about Chyna’s alleged physical abuse during their 2016 altercation and claiming that the two got engaged as leverage for Chyna to “pitch a television show the next day.
