Kanye West suspect in battery investigation after throwing woman’s phone away

Kanye West is reportedly under investigation after he allegedly yanked a woman’s phone out of her hand and tossed it when she refused to stop filming him.

According to a viral video, the rapper-turned-fashion designer was leaving his daughter North’s basketball game when he noticed that he was being followed by paps.

Although unclear if the woman was a pap or simply a fan, he allegedly got out of his car and confronted her while she filmed him from inside her own vehicle.

“You didn’t have to run up on me like that,” he told the woman, who held her phone to his face.

“If I say stop, stop with your cameras!”

When the woman tried to argue that she could film him because he was “a celebrity,” Ye allegedly reached into her car, grabbed her phone and tossed it away.

As he walked away, he allegedly confronted another pap. However, it’s unclear what he told him to get him to back off.

It’s unknown how long the woman was allegedly filming West, 45, and what happened before he got out of his car that caused him to confront her.

According to TMZ‘s police sources, deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department were called to the scene around 4:30 p.m. and were provided video evidence of the incident.

Per the outlet’s report, the woman was photographed leaving the sheriff’s department and talking to police officers.

West has since been named as a suspect in a battery investigation, TMZ alleged.

West seemingly got out of his car to confront a woman who had been filming him.

However, that wasn’t the only time West begged to be left alone today. In another part of the clip, after he had gotten back into his car, he pulled up in front of a group of paps who were capturing the entire incident on camera.

“You want me to be running up on your kids’ games like that?” Ye told the pap, who tried to defend himself by saying that “there’s a hundred of us.”

“Everybody needs to stop when I see my kids. If I need to see my kids, you can’t photograph me,” West continued. “It’s called human rights.”

West was seemingly aggravated that paps had been photographing him while at North’s basketball game.

Again, when the pap tried to say that they were allowed to snap his photo because they were in a public street, Ye simply stared at him before driving off with his new “bride” Bianca Censori, 27, in the passenger seat.

Ye’s face-off with the paps comes just one day after he was spotted shopping at Balenciaga with Censori — even after they cut ties with him for spewing anti-Semitic comments on social media.

He was seen perusing the store’s footwear selection with the Australian Yeezy employee he reportedly married in a non-legal ceremony earlier this month.

Despite this seemingly happy new chapter in Ye’s life, sources told Page Six that the Kardashians are worried about the rushed wedding.

“The family isn’t taking this as a marriage yet,” the insider said. “They don’t know what it is. They aren’t sure if it is a PR stunt. They are waiting to see if he files for papers. They are nervous because if it’s real, she would be in the children’s life.”

Kim Kardashian and West, who share four children, finalized their divorce in 2022 after seven years of marriage.

Tiffany Haddish claims she lost all jobs amid child molestation lawsuit

Tiffany Haddish claims she “lost everything” as a result of the now-dismissed allegations of child molestation and grooming made against her and fellow comic Aries Spears.

“All my gigs, gone. Everything, gone,” she told TMZ on Wednesday. “I don’t have no job, bro.”

According to IMDB, Haddish, 42, has two projects in post-production, but none that she is currently filming or listed as in pre-production.

She also has no upcoming tour dates for her comedy tour, per Ticketmaster.

Haddish and Spears, 47, were accused of grooming and molesting a brother and sister when they were 14 and 7 years old, respectively, in a lawsuit filed earlier this month.

The alleged victims claimed Haddish coerced them into participating in explicit comedy skits.

One of the shoots allegedly involved the “Girls Trip” star teaching the alleged victim’s sister, known only as Jane Doe in court records, how to mimic fellatio for a skit about kids arguing over a sub sandwich.

The suit also claimed that the little boy was molested by Haddish and Spears while filming a disturbing video published via Funny Or Die and more online platforms, titled “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes.”

However, the two siblings who made the accusations dismissed the lawsuit this week.

“My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years – and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us,” the woman told TMZ on Tuesday, on behalf of herself and her brother.

“We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”

For his part, Spears previously slammed the claims, calling them “extortion.”

Why Britney Spears thinks conservatorship was ‘premeditated’

Britney Spears believes her parents, Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears, along with an unnamed woman, “premeditated” plans to put her in a conservatorship.

In a bombshell audio clip briefly posted on YouTube Sunday, the pop star, 40, talked about the moments leading up to when she was taken to a hospital on an involuntary psychiatric hold for the second time in January 2008.

“Honestly to this day, I don’t know what, really, I did,” Britney said. “You have to imagine, none of it made sense to me.”

The “Hold Me Closer” singer said the night prior to police and medics arriving at her house, she had a sleepover with Lynne, now 67, two girlfriends and her mother’s friend. She did not name the latter, but previous reports identified Lynne’s pal as Jacqueline Butcher.

Britney said in the audio clip that her mom seemingly tried to warn her about the imminent hospitalization, telling her that she had “heard” people were coming to “talk” to the “Toxic” singer and even suggesting, “‘We should probably go to a hotel or something.’

“I never really understood what she meant,” the “Overprotected” singer said. “I didn’t believe her. Like, is a lawyer coming here? Who is coming here?”

Britney Spears explained why she thinks her conservatorship was “premeditated.”

Britney said about four hours after that chat, “over 200” paparazzi were videotaping her through a window of an ambulance as she was being taken away.

“I know now it was all premeditated,” she claimed. “A woman introduced the idea to my dad, and my mom helped him actually follow through and made it all happen.”

Britney did not go into detail about the “woman” who allegedly introduced the idea of a conservatorship to Jamie, but business manager Lou Taylor of Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group has been accused of playing a pivotal role in the guardianship.

Lou Taylor worked for Spears from 2008 to 2020.

Lynne was one of the first to call out Taylor, 57, in her 2008 book, “Through the Storm.”

“Jamie was going to file for the conservatorship on January 22 … but he and his business manager, Lou, felt God leading them to wait, fast and pray, despite the frustration of a phalanx of lawyers,” the Rodans and Fields consultant wrote.

Britney’s parents, Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears, have denied wrongdoing.

More recently, emails that Taylor allegedly sent to Jamie at the onset of the conservatorship were included in public court documents in July.

In one of the exchanges, the business manager alerted Britney’s dad that she had “talked to” his then-lawyers, Geraldine Wyle and Jeryll Cohen, about Andrew Wallet, the attorney who would go on to help manage Britney’s money for 11 years, and that Wallet and Tri Star would “serve as co’s [co-conservators]” with Jamie.

However, attorney Scott Edelman previously told Page Six on behalf of Taylor that the emails are “materially misleading.”

“As all the evidence makes abundantly clear, the conservatorship was set up on the recommendation of legal counsel, not Tri Star, and approved by the court for more than 12 [sic] years,” the lawyer added. “In fact, Tri Star was not even the business manager for the conservatorship when it was established.”

Taylor has also denied her role in the conservatorship, claiming in a statement to Page Six in September 2021 that said she played “no role whatsoever.”

Britney said she spoke “in a British accent” to a doctor prior to her 2008 hospitalization.
britneyspears/Instagram

However, Britney maintained in her bombshell audio clip that she was “set up.”

“There was no drugs in my system, no alcohol, nothing,” the “Stronger” singer insisted. “It was pure abuse, and I haven’t even really shared even half of it.”

Butcher, Lynne’s pal, previously came forward to express her regret over the role she played.

“At the time, I thought we were helping,” she told the New Yorker in July 2021. “And I wasn’t, and I helped a corrupt family seize all this control.”

A Los Angeles judge terminated Britney’s conservatorship in November 2021, saying it was “no longer required.”

Deputy says he doesn’t regret taking pics of remains in Kobe crash

The deputy who snapped dozens of close-up photos of human remains from the helicopter wreck that killed Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna testified Friday that he didn’t regret doing so — and said he was unaware the NBA legend was one of the victims.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Doug Johnson took the stand in the third day of Vanessa Bryant’s federal lawsuit against the county and said he took 25 pictures at the California crash site and texted them to two firefighters that he believed were high up in command.

Johnson said about a third of his pictures were close-up shots of body parts and told the court they were taken at the behest of Dept. Raul Versales, who was at the command post at the bottom of the Calabasas hill the chopper slammed into.

Lawyers for Bryant, who allege that workers took “pictures as souvenirs,” countered Johnson’s claim by playing a recording of Versales saying, “All of us at the command post, including myself, we did not request photographs.”

The deputy’s testimony also contradicted the sworn statement of Malibu Search & Rescue Team Reserve Deputy David Katz, who told the court Thursday that Johnson had told him he took 100 pictures.

Johnson testified he and another deputy hiked through the rough terrain of the hillside and got to the crash site at about 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 26, 2020, finding it strewn with severed body parts.

Upon arrival he talked to two men who he thought were officials with Los Angeles County Fire, he testified. Johnson told them that one of his assignments was to take pictures of the entire scene.

Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Douglas Johnson said about a third of his pictures were close-up shots of body parts.
BACKGRID

When asked if he interpreted that to mean that he was instructed to take close-ups of body parts, Johnson replied, “Yes, sir.”

The deputy testified he took shots of a black man’s detached arm and hand, a close-up of a shin, a foot of dark skin tone, and a torso found near the helicopter. The pictures were presumably of the retired 41-year-old NBA star.

“I don’t remember seeing the victim’s head,” Johnson said. “I remember [it having] a torso and having pants.”

Johnson said he also took close-up pictures of bodies in a ravine. One of them was a child with long black hair and black skin — presumably Gianna, 13.

He sent the grisly pictures to Capt. Brian Johnson and another uniformed firefighter that he assumed was a captain, according to the testimony. That person remained unidentified, he told the court.

At one point, one of Vanessa’s attorneys, Eric Tuttle, asked, “Did it ever occur to you that it is not appropriate to have close-ups of human remains on your personal cell phone?”

Johnson replied, “No, sir,” and repeated the answer when asked if he regretted taking the photos or if he would have done anything differently.

Johnson told the court he would not have done anything differently.

During cross examination, Jennifer Mira Hashmall, the defense attorney representing LA County, county sheriffs and the county fire department, asked Johnson if he knew who was involved in the crash at the time.

“When you took the pictures, did you know it was Kobe Bryant who was in the air?”

“No, ma’am,” the deputy replied.

Johnson said an internal investigation was conducted and he was interviewed twice, but said he was never disciplined in connection to a complaint lodged by Deputy Katz. 

Lawyers for Vanessa have alleged that county officials inappropriately shared the private pictures, causing her “severe emotional distress and compounded the trauma of losing Kobe and Gianna.”

The widow broke into tears Thursday as a bartender testified a deputy had shown her pictures of Kobe’s remains while she was behind the stick.

Earlier Friday, a retired cop testified that officers in LA have a culture of keeping “ghoul books” with graphic photos of dead celebrities and other high-profile victims for their own amusement.

Kobe, Gianna and seven others — Christina Mauser; Payton and Sarah Chester; John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli; and pilot Ara Zobayan — died when Bryant’s helicopter collided with a hillside amid dense fog.

The group had been on their way to a youth basketball game in Thousand Oaks.

Comedian praises Lance Bass’ Amber Heard TikTok

Not everyone was offended by Lance Bass’ TikTok reenactment of Amber Heard’s testimony in her ongoing defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Comedian Jenny Johnson found the since-deleted video to be quite amusing, hailing the *NSYNC alum’s performance in it as worthy of an Academy Award.

“It feels like this Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial has been going on forever and as if I needed another reason to love @lancebass anymore… 🎶Then a hero comes along…🎶 Swipe to watch this Oscar performance —->,” she wrote on Instagram, having snagged Bass’ video before it was taken down.

In the short clip, the “Bye Bye Bye” singer acted out the part of Heard’s testimony in which she described the first time Depp, 58, allegedly struck her during their brief marriage. The actress’ real-life voice played in the background.

Comedian Jenny Johnson thought Lance Bass’ reenactment of Amber Heard’s testimony was hilarious.

“I lose my balance. At this point, we’re sitting next to each other on the edge of the couch — or, I was on the edge of the couch,” Heard, 36, said in court, as Bass, 43, stumbled across his living room and made his way to the couch.

“I was just sitting there on this carpet, looking at this dirty carpet, wondering how I wound up on this carpet and why I never noticed that the carpet was so filthy before,” she continued, as a confused Bass threw himself onto the ground and sniffed the shag rug beneath him.

Johnson said Bass’ performance in the since-deleted video was worthy of an Oscar.

Simultaneously, someone off camera — perhaps husband Michael Turchin — threw ripped-up pieces of paper onto the former boy band member and the floor.

“I just didn’t know what else to do, I didn’t know what to say, I didn’t know how to react,” Heard’s voice trailed off.

Bass mocked Heard’s recollection of the first time Depp allegedly hit her.

Bass deleted the post following a slew of backlash from critics who felt it was in poor taste to make a mockery of the alleged domestic violence.

As one dissenter argued, the video could potentially “dissuade victims from ever coming forward again.”

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is currently battling it out with the “Aquaman” actress over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed she wrote in which she described herself as a victim of physical and sexual abuse.

Although she did not mention Depp by name, he alleges that the piece tarnished his reputation and career.

The “Edward Scissorhands” star has long denied his ex-wife’s claims that he beat her and threatened to kill her while under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

They were married from 2015 to 2017.

Amber Heard defends her op-ed, shares bruised photos

Jurors at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s bombshell defamation trial were shown photos of the bruised-up actress Monday — as she denied the op-ed at the heart of the case was about her ex-husband.

Heard’s attorneys showed several images of the actress with a red and swollen face from what she said was the troubled former couple’s last fight, in May 2016.

“This is my face after Johnny threw a phone at it,” Heard, 36, testified about the aftermath of the alleged brawl with Depp, 58.

The “Aquaman” actress also defended the 2018 essay she wrote in The Washington Post in which she referred to herself “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

“What, if anything, in this op-ed is incorrect?” Heard attorney Elaine Bredehoft asked.

“Nothing,” Heard answered. “Every word is true.”

“It’s not about Johnny,” she continued. “The only one who thought it was about Johnny was Johnny. It’s about me. It’s about what happened to me.”

Depp is suing his ex-wife for $50 million over the column, which does not name him. He claims it clearly referenced allegations of domestic abuse Heard made when she filed for divorce after less than two years of marriage in May 2016 — and that it defamed him, causing harm to his career and reputation.

Team Depp’s slideshow

On cross-examination, Depp’s lawyers confronted Heard with several photos taken of the couple at public affairs after alleged violent fights — that showed her without any visible injuries.

One image showed Heard looking fresh-faced next to Depp at Spike TV’s “Don Rickles: One Night Only” special — the day after she claimed Depp possibly broke her nose following the 2014 Met Gala.

Many people have questioned Heard for using makeup to create the bruises.

“For the record, I don’t know that it was broken,” Heard acknowledged under questioning by Depp attorney Camille Vasquez. “You should have seen how it looked under makeup.”

“Your nose doesn’t appear to be injured in any of these pictures?” the lawyer asked.

“I’m wearing makeup and makeup covers up swelling, right?” Heard answered.

Other photos produced by Depp’s team included the pair attending the 2015 Tokyo premiere of his comedy movie “Mordecai,” which followed an alleged fight, as well as stills from an appearance by Heard on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.”

Heard claimed she had a split lip from a beating by Depp that she covered with lipstick at the time.

Earlier, during questioning from her own lawyers, Heard had detailed her makeup routine for the jury, even holding up a coverup kit.

“I’m certainly not going to walk around LA with bruises on my face,” she said.


The latest from the Johnny Depp defamation trial:


Jurors were also shown a now-infamous photo of Heard with what appear to be bruises on her face — taken at a LA courthouse the day she filed for a temporary restraining order against Depp in May 2016.

Heard became emotional on the stand as she recalled how photographers “just surrounded me as I walked out of that courthouse” and “screamed horrible things.”
Depp has accused Heard of painting on a bruise with makeup that day, a claim she denies.

Heard explained why she decided to file for divorce that month despite Depp’s assurances that he was sober, that he was sorry and that he “wasn’t the monster.”

“I knew if I didn’t [divorce him], I likely wouldn’t literally survive,” she said. “I was so scared.”
Depp’s attorneys did get Heard to acknowledge that she never actually delivered on her pledge to donate her $7 million divorce settlement to the American Civil Liberties Union and a California children’s hospital.

“I use ‘pledge’ and ‘donation’ synonymously,” Heard testified.

“I don’t,” Vasquez shot back.

Sobbing Amber Heard tells jury Depp was ‘howling’ mad

Johnny Depp was a jealous partner who frequently attacked Amber Heard while accusing her of cheating during drug- and alcohol-fueled rages, the actress said, as she broke down on the stand Thursday.

The “Aquaman” actress said her ex-husband didn’t want her to take on sultry roles — or work at all — because of how paranoid he was, and accused her of sleeping with her co-stars, including Billy Bob Thornton and Eddie Redmayne.

“Every time I got a script, it was what kind of, you know, how I was dressing? . . . Did I have a sex scene?” she told the jury. 

“He would say, ‘You don’t need to work, kid. I’ll support you,’ ” but she wanted to work, and claimed his insistence that she quit acting was part of his controlling personality.

 Once, Depp grew so jealous of Heard’s working relationship with actor James Franco that he attacked her on a private plane the two were taking along with some of Depp’s team in May 2014.

“He called me a slut,” Heard, 36, said of Depp, 58, adding that he accused her of “secretly having a thing” with Franco.

When she got up from her seat to move away from Depp, he allegedly started throwing things — and then slapped her face, she said.

“It didn’t hurt my face. I just felt embarrassed that he would do that to me in front of others,” Heard said, adding that Depp proceeded to taunt her and call her names.

On the flight, Depp also allegedly kicked her in the back with his boot, she testified — as he appeared to squirm in his seat in the Fairfax, Va., courtroom.

“I felt this boot in my back,” she said. “I fell to the floor. And no one said anything. No one did anything. You could have heard a pin drop.”

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star apparently grew violent on the flight from Boston to Los Angeles about Heard’s kissing scene with Franco, 44, on the set of “The Adderall Diaries,” she said. “I just remember feeling so embarrassed that he could kick me to the ground in front of people,” she said, “and more embarrassing, I didn’t know what to do about it.

“He hated James Franco. He was accusing me of having a thing with him in the past since I had filmed ‘Pineapple Express’ with him.”

The court previously heard about the incident when Depp was on the stand earlier in the $50 million defamation trial. Depp denied drinking before getting on the plane, and claimed Heard had started an argument, pursuing him until he hid in a bathroom.

Heard shared various stories of the physical abuse she experienced from Depp’s jealously.
MEGA

But on Thursday, the jury heard a recording Heard made toward the end of the incident, in which it sounds like Depp is “howling like an animal” and babbling incoherently.

‘He’d lose control’

Depp is suing his ex-wife over her 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post in which she described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” He was never mentioned by name in the piece, but claims it clearly referenced him.

On the stand, Heard gave example after example of the alleged abuse. In August 2014, Depp said he wanted to “quit” his Roxicodone detox — and allegedly got violent after Heard tried to encourage him to keep going.

Heard shared multiple photos of Depp passed out after his alcohol binges.
MEGA

“I said something to him and he got so angry at me, he slapped me across the face,” Heard testified. “He was crying, saying no woman had ever embarrassed him like that, had ever made him feel like that.”

The actress said her career suffered as a result of her overbearing husband, who would try to convince wardrobe to allow her to dress more conservatively on set.

Heard said she began taking photos of him passed out because nobody believed that he had an addiction problem.

Depp tried to convince Heard to stop working to eliminate her having to work with male co-stars.

Four photographs submitted to the Fairfax County Circuit Court appear to show him unconscious in chairs and on a hotel room floor.

“He’d pass out, get sick, lose control of himself. People would pick him up and clean it and fix it,” Heard said. “He wouldn’t either remember, or he would deny it, or he would accuse me of saying that this had happened when it didn’t.”

‘I don’t see him’

The couple’s fighting seemed to crescendo in March 2015 while in Australia, where Depp was filming the fifth installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

Heard broke down into heaving sobs on the stand Thursday as she recalled Depp allegedly threatening to “carve up” her face with a bottle — and then inserting one inside her during a fight.

“I didn’t know if the bottle he had inside me was broken,” she said, breathing heavily as she held back tears. “I couldn’t feel it. I couldn’t feel anything.”

The harrowing incident happened during the same fight that left Depp with a severed finger —something he claimed on the stand happened when Heard flung a vodka bottle at him. The two had only been married a month earlier.

After the alleged attack, Heard said she took sleeping pills to fall asleep and woke up to her then-husband missing part of his finger.

She said she found everything from mirrors to walls to pillows covered in unintelligible messages drawn by Depp in the blood from his severed finger.

“I’m looking in his eyes, I don’t see him anymore,” she said, starting to sob. “It wasn’t him. It was black. I’ve never been so scared in my life. I was trying to get through to Johnny, and I couldn’t see him at all.”

Kardashians, Jenners visibly upset after sex tape comment in jury selection

The Kardashians and Jenners were less than thrilled to hear about Kim Kardashian’s sex tape scandal during jury selection for the family’s pending trial against Blac Chyna.

Page Six was inside the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday when Kardashian-Jenner attorney Michael Rhodes asked a group of potential jurors if they had strong positive or negative feelings toward reality television.

One potential juror, a man who appeared to be in his 50s or 60s, claimed that he’d never watched “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” but noted, “I have watched [Kim] Kardashian’s sex tape, and I don’t think I can be impartial on this case.”

The response elicited a roar of laughter from the other potential jurors sitting in the audience. After that remark, Khloé Kardashian, 37, was seen fixing Kim’s long, dark locks – as if to comfort her sister.

Kris Jenner, 66, then shook her head after the same man reiterated to the judge that it would be difficult for him to serve as a juror because he would be “replaying that sex tape over and over again” in his head.

“I have watched [Kim] Kardashian’s sex tape, and I don’t think I can be impartial on this case,” the potential juror said.

While Kim, 41, kept her gaze toward the front of the courtroom, Khloé looked visibly annoyed by the comments and carried that same facial expression with her as she, her sisters and Kris walked out of the courtroom for a break.

Khloé, Kim and Kris sat in the first row of the audience seats alongside Kylie Jenner, 24, and their beefed-up security team. Rob Kardashian, 35, was not present.

Chyna, 33, was also in the courtroom and sat in the front next to her lawyer, Lynne Ciani. Her mother, Tokyo Toni, also attended the meeting.

As of Monday, two groups of potential jurors – totaling 76 people – have been asked questions to determine eligibility in serving unbiasedly on the trial. Attorneys are planning to question a third panel of 24 potential jurors on Tuesday.

Several of the people questioned Monday said they knew about the Kardashians and Jenners because of their kids, who watch their shows and follow them on social media.

One juror admitted it would be difficult for him to be impartial during the trial because he doesn’t like reality TV and wished the show “wasn’t on any longer.”

E!’s “KUWTK” was on for 20 seasons from 2007 to 2021. During that time, several spin-off shows – including “Rob & Chyna” – debuted. Their latest series, “The Kardashians,” premiered just last week on Hulu.

In 2017, Chyna filed a lawsuit against the entire Kardashian-Jenner family – including Kourtney Kardashian, 43, and Kendall Jenner, 26 – over claims of assault, battery, domestic violence, defamation and interference with prospective economic relations.

The reality star, who shares 5-year-old daughter Dream with Rob, accused her ex of being an “abuser” and his family of being “media predators” who pulled the plug on the former couple’s show.

Chyna is seeking more than $40 million for loss of earning damages and more than $60 million in loss of future earning capacity damages.

The Kardashians and Jenners responded to Chyna’s claims with a lawsuit of their own, alleging the influencer violently attacked Rob.

Kim, Khloé, Kris, Kylie attend jury selection for Blac Chyna case

Four members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were present during Monday’s jury selection for their pending trial against Blac Chyna, multiple sources confirmed to Page Six.

We’re told Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kylie Jenner visited the Los Angeles courthouse together – without Chyna’s ex, Rob Kardashian.

As we previously reported, Kim, Khloé, Kris and Kylie are all set to testify in the trial.

Reps for the reality stars did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

According to TMZ, Chyna, 33, was also in the courtroom with her attorney on Monday to weigh in on the men and women who will ultimately decide the fate of her case.

In 2017, the “Rob & Chyna” alum filed a lawsuit against the entire Kar-Jenner family – including Kris, 66, Kourtney, 43, Kim, 41, Khloé, 37, Kendall, 26, Kylie, 24, and ex Rob, 35 – over claims of assault, battery, domestic violence, defamation and interference with prospective economic relations.

Chyna, whose real name is Angela White, alleged via her attorney in the lawsuit, “Rob Kardashian is an abuser intent on destroying Angela White, the mother of his baby, who left him in 2016.

“In revenge, the Kardashian-Jenner family became media predators, slut-shaming her on social media and killing her hit television show [‘Rob & Chyna’], which had already begun filming a second season.”

The reality star, who shares 5-year-old daughter Dream with Rob, also accused the Arthur George owner in the lawsuit of physically abusing her.

Chyna is seeking more than $40 million for loss of earning damages and more than $60 million in loss of future earning capacity damages, court filings previously obtained by Page Six revealed.

The Kardashian-Jenners responded to Chyna’s claims with a lawsuit of their own that same year, claiming the influencer violently attacked Rob.

The family’s attorney, Michael G. Rhodes, told Rolling Stone earlier this month that his famous clients would only appear in court once for Chyna’s trial, noting, “My clients are obviously people that are very well-known. They’ll cause a stir being in the courthouse.”
