Kris Jenner said she's 'just happy it's over' after a jury ruled in her family's favor in Blac Chyna defamation lawsuit
- Kris Jenner expressed relief at the conclusion of the trial between her family and Blac Chyna.
- Chyna alleged that the family had engineered the cancelation of her E! series, and sought damages.
Kris Jenner expressed her relief at the conclusion of the 11-day trial in which Blac Chyna sought $100 million in damages from members of the Kardashian-Jenner family over the cancelation of her E! show "Rob & Chyna."
Speaking to Variety on the Met Gala red carpet on Monday evening, Jenner said that she was "just happy" it was over.
When Variety's Marc Malkin asked her what the hardest part of the trial was, Jenner replied, "going through it." She said that she got through it by praying.
"I live in my faith, and just hope that, you know, that's enough," Jenner said. "I'm glad it's over, and I'm glad it's over for the girls. And we're here tonight to celebrate."
On Monday, while the Kardashian-Jenners were no longer present in court because they were prepping for the Met Gala, a Los Angeles jury ruled in their favor in the defamation case. Blac Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, alleged that the family had engineered the cancelation of her series "Rob & Chyna," which chronicled her life with then-fiancé Rob Kardashian and ran for only one season, by speaking ill of her to E! Network executives. The family denied those allegations.
The jury, as Insider previously reported, found that the Kardashian-Jenners were not liable for any damages. Jurors, however, said that some members of the family interfered with Chyna's economic opportunities.
Chyna's attorney said following the verdict that it was a "victory" that the jury "found that Chyna had not physically abused Rob Kardashian," and that it found that members of the family had "intentionally interfered with her contract with the E! Network."
The Kardashian-Jenner family's attorney, Michael G. Rhodes, said outside the courthouse that his clients were "emphatic in their expression of pleasure" and hoped that they were enjoying the Met Gala.
