why did blac chyna sue the kardashians

Blac Chyna sued the Kardashians primarily for defamation and intentional interference with her reality show contract. She alleged that Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kylie Jenner falsely told television producers and executives that Chyna had violently attacked her then-fiancé Rob Kardashian in December 2016. These false statements, she claimed, were meant to sabotage her reputation and led to the premature cancellation of her reality show "Rob & Chyna," causing her significant financial losses. Chyna sought around $100 million in damages for lost earnings and the damage to her career as a result of the family's actions. The Kardashians denied wrongdoing, and the lawsuit went to trial where the judge ruled against Chyna, awarding her no damages.
