Kris Jenner says Blac Chyna lawsuit was 'physically and spiritually exhausting'

Kris Jenner has spoken out about the defamation lawsuit Blac Chyna filed against the Kardashians and said it was "emotionally, physically and spiritually exhausting".

The momager, 66, said the trial had been a looming presence in her family's life and added that she is "very protective" of her kids.

34-year-old Chyna, born Angela Renée White, had been in an on-off relationship with Rob Kardashian in 2016 and 2017. She filed a defamation lawsuit against the family in October 2017.

The mum-of-one claimed the Kardashians were responsible for her show Rob & Chyna getting cancelled. The Kardashians denied all claims Chyna made and won the case.

Kris spoke about the lawsuit in the latest episode of The Kardashians, which was filmed when the family were preparing to go to trial.

Kris was enjoying spending time with her daughter Kylie Jenner before she spoke candidly to the camera.

"It's always so special spending time with Kylie but we also have this trial looming over our head. Blac Chyna is suing myself, Khloe, Kylie and Kim for defamation of character and interference of contract," she said.

Kris added: "As a mom, I'm very protective of my kids, and on top of that, it's really draining.

"It's emotionally, spiritually, and physically exhausting to be going through this."

Kris explained that she couldn't go into detail about the trial and said she didn't want to "add to the drama".

She added: "I want to take my mind off of it right now so I want to spend some time with Kylie."

The trial began back in April but it didn't last long after the jury found that The Kardashians were not guilty of defaming Blac Chyna and didn't owe her damages on May 2.

Chyna, who shares daughter Dream with Rob, also filed paperwork in August to end her long-time legal battle with him over claims of revenge porn.

She had come to a settlement on the issue with Rob, 35, in June, and later requested the Los Angeles County Superior Court dismiss the revenge porn claim with prejudice, according to People.

The action would put an end to the ongoing legal issue and prohibit future claims in connection with the case between the exes.
