During her closing arguments, Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, urged jurors to use their “common sense,” as she argued that they should not believe the story Rob Kardashian told his family — and the court — about Chyna allegedly trying to kill him in a December 2016 incident.
“For a person to claim that his fiancé struck him … [and] for there to be no mark … that’s not credible,” Ciani said, noting that no one called the police, Rob did not go to the hospital, and he didn’t even have “a Band-Aid on him” after the alleged attack.
On Wednesday afternoon, Rob shared his recollection of the incident during tense and emotional testimony, alleging that Chyna pointed a gun to his head twice, strangled him with a phone charging cord, hit him with a metal rod, and then threw a patio chair at his car as he left Kylie Jenner’s house, where the former couple was living. He acknowledged that the alleged attack did not leave marks on his face and did not cause him to go to the hospital, but argued that that didn’t mean it didn’t happen.
“You’re acting like … [it] didn’t happen,” he told Ciani as she continued to press him about his story. “Stop putting it out there like that. It’s not fair.”
The incident caused worry and concern among the Kardashian/Jenner clan and led them to call for Rob & Chyna to not be renewed. But the family denies pressuring E! to do so and argues — as executives for the network testified during the trial — that their actions did not cause the show to be canceled.
“They don’t have the authority to actually do that,” E!’s former president Adam Stotsky testified on Tuesday.
