Brought into the Los Angeles courtroom by security, Kim Kardashian sitting next to her “boyfriend” Chris Jenner and two of her sisters, Chloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
All four women are accused in a lawsuit filed by Black China, the former fiancée of Kardashian’s single brother, Rob.
The model is suing the family for $ 100 million, claiming that she was slandered and illegally interfered in her contracts and business deals to drive her out of reality television.

The Kardashians have denied any wrongdoing and said in court documents that they have legitimate concerns about China and Rob’s safety given the “violence and toxicity” of the relationship.
Sitting in the front row of the courtroom, the Kardashians listened to some future jurors express their negative feelings toward them.
“I don’t think they were the best role models”
“Everything about their names is just big, not for me,” said one man. “I don’t think reality television is good for society.
Another said, “I sincerely hope none of these people get richer because of it,” while one woman said she stopped her teenage daughter from watching their hit TV show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
One member of the commission said: “I just want to say that I have a very negative perception of the parties and I’m not sure I could be impartial.”
Another said he did not like the spoiled attitude he felt the four businesswomen were getting, with their lawyer jumping to their defense to point out that there was a “dark side to celebrity”.
The potential juror replied, “Does this mean they need Fiji water delivered to them by hand while sitting in court?”
Kim, Kylie, Chloe and Chris didn’t look offended by the comments and were spotted chatting and smiling during the holidays.

The judge was not pleased with the comments
However, the judge was not pleased with the tone and told the panel that although he appreciated their honesty, there was “a jury instruction stating that a party’s wealth or party poverty does not matter”.
There were also Kardashian supporters in the room, with a young woman describing herself as a “pretty big fan.”
Within a year, the couple got engaged, gave birth to their daughter Dream and participated in their own show called Rob and Chyna by E! network.
The second season was filmed when the couple broke up and the show ended. She then filed a lawsuit against the Kardashian family in 2017.
Chyna is also suing Rob, but differences in her allegations against him have led the judge to split this part of the case into a separate trial that will follow.
