On Monday, the judge at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles announced the final verdict on the Kardashian-Jenner defamation case. The Los Angeles jury found that none of the members of the Kardashian-Jenner family tried to defame Chyna, nor did they at any point interfere in her contract by convincing the E! network to cancel her reality show, Rob & Chyna. Further, the court reached the conclusion that the show got cancelled because Chyna's relationship ended with Rob, not because of the defendants' actions. Moreover, the family was cleared of all the key charges with no monetary damages given to Blac Chyna.

Blac Chyna was present at the court for the final verdict, however, the Kardashian-Jenner family, including Kim Kardashian, Chris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and others did not attend, as most of them were in New York for Met Gala 2022.
