ROB Kardashian has dropped his assault lawsuit against Blac Chyna, as he says his love for his daughter Dream “outweighs” his desire to fight in a public trial.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star previously sued his ex with claims that she attacked him with a six-foot metal pole one month after their child was born.
Rob, 34, has decided to put an end to his six-year-long legal battle against model Blac Chyna, 33.
The reality star has motioned to “dismiss his assault lawsuit against Blac Chyna without prejudice for the sake of their daughter,” Page Six has revealed.
According to the outlet, a judge has approved the motion, ending their nasty war over the assault allegations.
Rob explained his decision to the publication, saying: “My love for Dream far outweighs my desire to proceed with my claims against her mother in a public trial.
“Now that the court has ruled that there is sufficient evidence to warrant a jury trial on my claim for assault, for our daughter’s sake, I am dismissing the action and focusing on my co-parenting relationship with Chyna.”
DENIED DELAY
The TV personality’s statement followed the news last week that the judge on the case denied his attempt to delay the start of the trial.
In September of 2017, Rob sued Blac Chyna for assault after he claimed she tried to strangle him with an iPhone charging cord while intoxicated on cocaine and alcohol.
SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS
Although the sock designer said he was able to escape, it was not before the model had allegedly hit him multiple times on the face and head with a metal pole.
The E! star took to social media after the incident to show the injuries he allegedly sustained to both his head and neck, though Blac Chyna has fully denied all claims.
Her lawyer Lynn Ciani said there was “NO violent attack, and that this is just another one of Rob’s lies.”
FAMILY AFFAIR
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Rob’s family members had the intent to get involved with the looming case.
Both Kylie and Kim, as well as mom Kris Jenner, had planned to testify during the trial, according to documents obtained by Radar.
In the new papers, both parties revealed the witnesses they had planned to bring up onto the stand.
Rob and Blac Chyna both gave Corey Gamble, Kris’ boyfriend, as another one of the planned witnesses as he alleged he was the one who picked Rob up after the alleged attack.
BATTLE OF THE EXES
In 2020, Rob claimed in court docs that he “believed that Chyna intended to inflict severe injury on him and feared for his life,” The Blast reported.
Chyna and Rob are also currently in the midst of a custody battle over their daughter, Dream, five.
The tiny tot was born in November 2016, but despite a brief reconciliation, the couple split at the end of the year, and Blac was soon seen without her engagement ring.
