Ugh, let’s get through this Blac Chyna-Rob Kardashian drama, okay? Last week, Rob Kardashian lost his mind and posted revenge p0rn of Blac Chyna. She, in turn, hired a lawyer and started leaking a ton of stuff to TMZ. I’m on Chyna’s side here – what Rob did was illegal and disgusting, and Chyna has every right to defend herself legally and publicity-wise. So, here’s some of stuff happening around this situation:
Chyna successfully got a restraining order against Rob. According to TMZ, “Rob is now barred from any further cyberbullying of Chyna — including posting photos or videos of her, or making any personal comments about her. He also has to stay away from her.” Rob’s lawyer did not contest the restraining order request, and apparently Rob regrets losing his temper last week.
Chyna says Rob abused her. She’s made claims over the past week that Rob punched her and knocked her to the ground, and that he’s chased after her and been violent as she’s tried to get away from him. She also says that Rob has guns in his house and that he’s threatened to kill himself. The restraining order that Chyna got is at least partly for domestic violence.
Custody of baby Dream. According to TMZ, Rob and Chyna have agreed on a loose custody agreement in which they have 50-50 custody of their daughter Dream.
Chyna returned Rob’s gifts. One of the things Rob bitched about last week was that Chyna left him even though he bought a ton of sh-t for her, like cars and jewelry. It was pretty clear that Rob felt like he “bought” Chyna and he could treat his property any way he saw fit. Chyna says that she returned all of Rob’s gifts, and that she cannot and will not be bought. She told GMA that she had her assistants return everything and “I also gave him back his wedding ring. Because I’m not gonna let this man buy me — or make it seem like he could just buy me and give me gifts and treat me any way, and talk to me nasty.”

10 days ago I would have said these two are as bad as each other – they are both true and utter scum for selling their souls and their child for a little extra cash. However, one is a criminal and one isn’t…sooo….
I think she is a user who played the Kardashians like a fiddle. But, being a user and victim of domestic abuse/revenge porn are NOT mutually exclusive. I think she is both. F Rob.
+1000!
She’s cunning, he’s abusive. She might have character flaws but he’s an abuser and that supersedes any of her minor sins.
I used to feel bad for him, but maybe Kris had good reasons for diminishing the spotlight on him.
Deeply cunning. I have a ton of respect for it. Chyna’s handled all of this perfectly over the last week, even down to returning the gifts. She walks out of this with a ton of public support and sympathy, plus what I’m sure will be a fat paycheck from PMK to go away. Meanwhile, Rob digs himself deeper in the hole and becomes an even bigger embarrassment to the clan than he already was. Chyna slays.
Rob has been unstable for years and it is well documented. One would wonder why someone would choose to marry him knowing his mental frailties. Chyna further tried very hard to trademark her married name, Blac Kardashian and then to have his child. It is all mind boggling to me. His posting of her pictures is unforgivable as was her response to fuel the fire by sending a video of herself entangled with another man. How do people end up like this. I was going to say perhaps this is the fall of the Kardashian Empire….but alas I saw a promo for Kylie’s own show in August…..with special guest stars Rob and Chyna, together at last. Run Dream run and take your brother with you.
I mean Rob is far from being a “catch”, they both bought different things to the relationship and benefited from each other. Would he have had any interest in Chyna if she looked like his female equivalent?
Chyna got with him for a meal ticket and revenge, Rob got with her for her looks and revenge. It was a fair exchange. I couldn’t cope with Rob, that’s for sure.
Somehow it’s some sort of grave injustice for attractive women to prioritise money in relationships…but not for the men with means to prioritise looks, youth and sex.
It’s just expected for women to give out more than they receive and to love the same men who view them as commodities for who they really are *inside* not what they possess.
He’s trash, I hope they make an example out of him.
I was aware that he was insecure but I was not aware he had mental Issues or was prone to abuse.
Suffern – she doesn’t need Rob as a meal ticket. She does well in her business without him or his family. And Rob is not known for being a financial whiz and his mom has not been successful promoting him, so I would expect she was wealthier than he was. Her financial prospects are much better at least. She is neither stupid nor lazy and is way above the Kardashian/Jenner girls in willingness to put time into learning how to run her own business. She’s always been a planner, she doesn’t drift into things.
They knew each other a long time. It’s quite possible that they became close friends and she actually wanted to help him. She did definitely help him, after all, when he was at a very low point. Khloe in particular seemed bothered by that – Khloe likes to think of herself as the fixer, but she couldn’t fix Rob. Blac Chyna actually encouraged him successfully to eat better and exercise for a while. He was looking significantly better and happier. But he has deep problems that he has to fix himself.
The reality show was a major mistake (well known as a relationship killer and no place for a guy with Rob’s instability), but the money (and exposure for her) was too tempting. Plus they’ve both been in an environment for years where that’s what people do for career advancement and big bucks.
If Rob has a gun and has been threatening suicide, his family better wake up to the seriousness of that unless they figure on selling a funeral episode.
Good for Black Chyna. When this story broke I was concerned that she didnt understand that she had been violated or know there was redress. If you constantly hear that you are just a “THOT” and that your body belongs to whoever paid your last rent, you might not understand that revenge p0rn is a violation of your rights.
Judging from the internet a lot of people dont get this very simple concept.
All of this. People have some f–ked up attitudes about consent, abuse, women, and what’s required to be a victim of something (ironically, some of the same people will call out Ivanka and others who have no problem supporting Mr. “Like She’s Never Been Grabbed Before). If there was ever a time for people to NOT play Kardashian Apologist, it’s now. Saying “she’s no victim” when a sex crime is committed (or some other form of abuse) and when someone has been an abusive, misogynistic asshole (again) IS making excuses for the behavior and saying that it’s ok. It sends the message that it’s only unacceptable to treat certain types of women that way.
It’s interesting though, because the Kardashians get a lot of hate- a lot of it earned and justified, a lot of it not. But thanks to male privilege, Rob is the only Kardashian who consistently manages to escape accountability in people’s eyes. His Kardashian name doesn’t even work against him! His shitty, inappropriate, unacceptable behavior is ALWAYS some woman’s fault- either his sisters’ or whatever woman he just broke up with- and nothing he does ever sticks to his reputation like it does to the women in his family. People are more bothered by Kim’s Bush-era sex tape, her and her sisters taking their clothes off (The horror!) them being thirsty, vain people, and Black Chyna’s sexcapades on urban blogs than they are by Rob’s misogyny, his pattern of using sexuality as a weapon against multiple women, and now, the fact that someone has a DV restraining order against him. How lucky he is that his mentality and behavior is the status quo. This piece of shit is in his 30’s, still acting this way, and has never been held accountable for a damn thing. He needs to be taught a lesson. A few years from now or less, we’ll be seeing another situation like this- or possibly worse- with Rob Kardashian and some future ex-gf, but unless that girl is free of human character flaws, has no interest in money and fame, has a sexual history that would make Bristol Palin jealous, and has never been on any kind of pole or shown us anything below her collarbone or above her knee, people will still be insisting “She’s no victim! She’s a lying thot!”
i love this comment. thank you for spelling it out, especially the double standard for his sisters.
Totally superficial but I love her hair here.
What about the eyebrows?
I love the eyebrows
Her eyebrows are always a bit of a problem, they sit too high up, but the fab hair and suit is distracting me from them.
I think they’re just a bit off. Not a complete tragedy or anything… but a shade too thick and high her her face. They’re ‘fine’ but would looks better just a bit lower and a tiiiny bit thinner – just barely.
Her eyebrows only look too far up because she had forehead reduction surgery (or hair transplants) – look at her old photos. Her son has the same huge forehead.
http://jadeafrican.com/blac-chyna-reportedly-gets-hair-transplant-see-photos/
Same! Her whole look is great.
Lmfao!!! 😂😂😂
That pic is funny, but I think it’s photoshopped. I’ve seen pics of her from her teen years, and her forehead is nothing like that first pic, and she was never that dark either.
I came here to say the same thing. She looks fantastic in these pics.
The blond bob? I totally agree, it’s great. I didn’t think she looked old before, but she looks younger with it this length.
She doesn’t keep hairstyles around for long tho!
Wigs make it easy to change your hairstyle quickly.
Totally superficial comment especially considering everything that’s going on, but damn she’s looking the best I’ve ever seen her in that white suit! She actually looks pretty with the short hair!
BECAUSE SHES GOING TO COURT!
she has to dress the part.
idk, everything/everybody in this situation disgusts me. SMFH for Dream.
Yes. Blech all the way around except for that poor baby.
Agreed. She looks great.
She looks awesome 👀👀👀
Well, maybe now he’ll grow up. Or his mom continues to enable him. Guess it’ll be the latter. What a douchebag. I feel terrible for the baby.
On a superficial note, Chyna’s businesswoman look is fabulous.
Rob is really messed up. A serial abuser. And I agree, she looks gorgeous here.
So he has a gun? AND a gun-permit?
Really? People can’t see through this girl?
What Rob did was indeed illegal and immoral.
But I won’t be taken for a “I was a victim” ride by this obvious user.
You can be a user AND a victim.
Um, except she WAS a victim in a very literal sense. Nobody is claiming that her whole life is one big victim-fest. But in this incident – she is indeed a victim.
You don’t need to be some perfectly moral, kind, generous saint for people to look at your situation and see that you are the victim of abuse – except for many people the victim DOES need to be a picture perfect lady.
It’s mind boggling. Yes, Chyna is someone who makes questionable life choices but that doesn’t negate the fact that Rob was absolutely the one in the wrong here. What he did was illegal – and she was the victim of the crime. And really – when it comes to the ‘user’ argument – they’re both users. He uses his families wealth/clout and does nothing with his life, so I’d say they cancel each other out in that aspect.
You dont have to have lived an unblemished life to be the ONLY victim in a revenge p0rn and abuse situation. Black Chyna could sleep with all of Robs male relatives at his own wedding in front of E! Cameras and if Rob responds by posting the things he posted, she would STILL be the only victim in that situation.
That said, Rob is himself extremely messed up. He has a history of maligning his exes on social media. He also seems to have clingy tendencies. The text messages between them show that he had to beg her to send him that beaver pic. That doesnt sound like a girlfriend, it sounds like a woman whose rent you just paid and who you now guilt for your own sexual pleasure. Also, it makes zero sense for a gf to just out of the blue send a bf video of her with another man. It doesnt even make sense to send it if her intention is to make money off you. It does however make sense if she is trying to get it into your thick head that shes moved on and no longer cares for your financial support.
Users can never be victims? Really? Life doesn’t work like that.
Yea, I tink he’s an abusive a hole and she’s a predator. Notice that despite him hitting her, taking pills, threatening suicide with multiple guns – she still didn’t lock down sole custody?? Who leaves a nine month old with a suicidal “monster” and only a loose 50/50 shared custody agreement? Guessing the money train has not yet left the station. Woo wooooo.
That’s why I’m not buying the physical abuse story.
Question for our legal Celebitches: now that she has a restraining order, can Rob keep his guns?
Yes, he was not convicted of a crime/felony.
Thats scary that someone with such publicly documented mental health issues can be licensed to own.
Thank you @Nick. I hope everything will be all right, guns and domestic violence are never a great combo.
Wow, she’s had quite the makeover!
Good for her. Glad she returned his stuff. She can buy her own things. He can’t buy or keep love. Loser.
She looks great. That hairstyle/color and her makeup are very flattering. Love the suit. Keep on living your life, Angela!
What Rob did was terrible but honestly, Chyna has played this whole situation like a pro, and you know PMK realizes it, but she can’t do anything to stop her because Rob has played into it every step of the way. Chyna’s not like the Kardashian girls: she learned how to hustle the hard way, same as her mother did. The others mostly just follow the playbook PMK dishes out, but all she ever was in her prime was a trophy wife and a low-level starf*cker. As much of a hustler as she is, PMK has never had to deal with a woman like Chyna before, and it shows. I’ve always been in the camp that this was a work from Chyna from the start, in revenge for Tyga, Kylie and Kim backstabbing her, and I’ve loved her for it. Now Chyna will get paid off to make this all go away, and the settlement will be bigger than all the gifts Rob bought her combined. Rob will go back to being an emotionally unstable shut-in. And PMK will know that there’s one woman who was able to get the better of her and her coven of cat-faced famewhores.
Wow. That is such a cold interpretation. It’s hard for me to believe that people actually act this way. Smells true, though.
It is cold, but consider who we’re talking about here. PMK has succeeded with the brand for exactly these reasons: being a cold, hard hustler whose end game was always fame and money for the family. Chyna, while definitely the victim of revenge p*rn, has a not so perfect past. It doesn’t negate her victimhood, but I also think she went into this with her eyes wide open and knew what she was doing. As a former dancer, she is well aware of how to use her sexuality for gain, especially on insecure types (like Rob), and I think she used it with him precisely to strike back at the family, by getting to the weakest link.
@Philfishpaw
Nonsense! If Black Chyna was this crafty, she would have had smarter reactions to the pics. She would have been silent for a day to let him do his worst and then tweeted outrage and about suing. Instead she did what a slut shamed woman acting on anger does. She doubled down on the things she was being shamed for, posting pics of other men in her bed. The girl you are describing would already be playing to the jury. Also if Lisa Bloom is anything like her mother, she reached out to Black Chyna not the other way around. I have a feeling that Black Chyna had to have the offence explained to her. I doubt she understood the legal implications of what had just happened in those first 24 hours.
By the way if Black Chyna is so Machiavellian, why has she withdrawn her most powerful “weapon” from discussion? A custody fight is the sure guarantee to get paid. PMK is a true matriarch, she will want some control over Dreams future.
What did Kim do to her? Amd you mean, Rob was just a pawn/victim in Chyna’s revenge plot against his sisters? Booooy that’s dark. And juicy. Give me more details!
Kim and Chyna were good friends before the Tyga-Kylie thing happened. Then when it came out that Tyga left Chyna for Kim’s underage sister (who had babysat Chyna’s son), Kim towed the Kardashian line and supported the relationship, then distanced herself from Chyna. It’s not on the same level of betrayal as what Tyga did, but it’s easy to understand why that would also sting a lot.

Yeah, Chyna saw an easy mark and she sprang. I can respect her game for that, HOWEVER, i can’t respect her for bringing in a child just to get 18 years of sweet Kardashian payments (which I think was her intention).
Does Rob have that much money? The rest of them sure do but how would he have earned that? He was absent from the show for a long time as well.
He has a lot more than people think. He was on the show for a bit and on the later seasons he is listed as Executive Producer. Kris probably threw him a few scraps (which equal millions) so I’m sure he’s doing fine.
You are right on the money! I think a lot of the urban blogs have a lot of details as well about Chyna and her record. Chyna’s rep in the hip hop industry is well known – she probably also hoped to use their name to get more shine, as how she watched Amber use famous rappers’ to get on.
It worked.
I am amazed people are even falling for her act. She’s transparent.
@African Sun – Yep. And even in this thread you see a lot of people unwilling to believe Chyna would be smart enough or capable of pulling it off, but the fact is, she already has. In the court of public opinion, Chyna comes out of this with a lot of sympathy and a platform to a wider mainstream audience, which definitely works to her advantage. And to those who say Chyna isn’t clever enough to think so far ahead: this is a woman who climbed her way out of obscurity and stripping (no shame in that) to become a video girl, then a businesswoman with her own branding, and now this, all without a PMK type figure pulling the strings. She is clearly a cagey woman and not someone to be underestimated. And I think she’s been on a mission to rattle the Kardashians for a while now.
That’s what I see too.
Yeah I totally agree, she didn’t play it out perfectly because she’s f*** up on drugs, same as Rob, and not the sharpest (but a great hustler). She definitely ”liked” those photos on Insta, her explanation made no sense. But overall her game was always clear to me too (having watched the show…. embarrassingly enough). She maybe didn’t have every move planned out but it was clear he was going to lose his s***, look at his past behavior; and also clear she’d goad him & maximise on those opportunities. Good to have revenge porn on the map at least, and hope it creates a good precedent. He’s an asshat of course, not condoning his behaviour and I know his history, but he was a sitting duck. Dream is the only one I feel sorry for.
I feel sorry for Dream too, but babies have been brought into this world under worse circumstances, for more dubious reasons. Chyna seems like a caring parent (hustle aside), and Dream will be provided for and have Kardashian resources at her fingertips if she needs them. She’ll be okay. Rob is the one to worry about. He’s an abusive piece, but I don’t think he’s long for this world.
Yeah that’s true Philfishpaw, and Chyna seems great with King who seems like a happy little boy. Also agree on Rob, he’s been at risk for a long time and he needs serious help and not some stupid hollywood life coach.
also, all I have to say is if y’all think Kris Jenner ass anit sitting back plotting y’all crazy…
Wait… Rob is a domestic abuser with guns, suicidal, and (most likely) has substance abuse problems… and he retains 50/50 custody of an innocent infant? This makes me sick.
Chyna is indeed a victim, regardless of her life choices thus far. But her having too much hustle doesn’t read as “extreme danger” for her daughter. When it comes to Rob… oh my god I coud never leave my baby with someone like that for a minute. Please don’t let anything happen to that baby girl!
Yeah, I worry about Rob + guns. He is clearly unstable.
It sounds as though the 50/50 custody is an informal arrangement, so they haven’t gone through court-ordered evaluation. Angela would be wise to insist that he not be alone with the baby, though. She might think he’s safe with the child at the moment, however.
She gave back the stuff? When? She was busy flaunting it on snapchat last week but now needs to overhaul her image!!
Does it matter when? As long as she gave it all back. Good for her.
I think it does. I doubt she would have gave the gifts back if were not for his total meltdown.His very public meltdown.
It does if it is supposed to show she this is an example of the kind of person she is. If she is acting like she can’t be bought then timing is everything.
I wouldn’t care if she didn’t give it back. He should let her have nice things while she’s watching their kid. He’s so petty
I disagree, Lola! Personally, I wouldn’t give back anything, but the engagement ring. Gifts are gifts. I can never understand people asking for things to be returned after they’ve given a person. If you give me things but want them back if/when we break, then call it what it is: a loan for the duration of the relationship.
Anyone know the designer/brand of Lisa Blooms dress? I love the blue and white pattern
I like the shoes too.
BC said “I also gave him back his wedding ring. Because I’m not gonna let this man buy me — or make it seem like he could just buy me and give me gifts and treat me any way, and talk to me nasty.”
That’s great that she did this but I also feel like had he not gone on that IG and Twitter rampage, she would have still kept those gifts regardless of how he was still treating her.
Yes this!!
This is just more reality tv for her and her lawyer. Look how smug they both look. No sympathy for her at all, she is just playing her role
THIS
Did you see who is representing him? Daddy’s old friend Robert Shapiro!
WHY would she not alter the custody agreement if his behavior was such that restraining orders were required? She claims he was abusive to her, that he is mentally unstable, and owns a gun –
get that baby away from him, jesus.
My thoughts exactly! I wouldn’t want a baby anywhere near someone who was threatening suicide with guns in the house.
She looks like Kylie now! Something about her lips, chin, eyes, and styling.
other way around – Kylie looks like Blac, and purposefully!
Yes, what he did is wrong and illegal. HOWEVER, she is loving every single second of it. She knows what she’s doing. So does Rob. Then there is poor Dream. This whole situation is disgusting.
Agreed. Ugh.
Seriously what is it going to take for this family to lose their popularity and go away?
And take their trashy adjacents with them . . .
I don’t know but I wish it would happen soon. The entire group of them are disgusting, greedy and shameless.
If he is unstable and has guns in the house, why the 50-50 custody arrangement? That is no place for a little baby to be. Sure, he seems like an okay dad who wouldn’t do anything to hurt the baby, but what if he hurts himself while the baby is there?
Are any of Kris Jenner’s children capable of having healthy relationships with emotionally stable partner’s?
He’s unstable, she’s a predator.
If only someone could have warned Rob this thunder snatch was going to use him…
