Rhodes also noted that the motion was currently pending.But Kim wondered why her family would have to go forward with the case if Chyna was allegedly withholding information, and there would be no damage claims awarded to the model in the end.“If she doesn’t fulfill her end of the bargain, why would we have to go forward with the case?” Kim asked, later adding, “She could still go through with the claim of who’s right and who’s wrong, but then no damages.“Blac Chyna and the Kardashian-Jenners.Amy Sussman/Getty; Kevin Mazur/GettyRhodes noted that in defamation cases, people often claim nominal damages to “make a point.” He added, “It wouldn’t end the case per se, but it would take a lot of the sting out of it.“Kim continued to press the matter. “She had a restraining order against my brother? How could they even do a show together if there’s a restraining order and they physically can’t stand next to each other?” she asked Rhodes.In a confessional, Kim added: “I definitely am really nervous because I know, in a lot of the justice reform work that I’m in, is that when a jury’s involved, there’s no telling how people will side. Even if you have the truth on your side, and you believe in your team, you have no idea what the outcome is gonna be.“Rhodes urged the sisters to remain “straight-faced [and] treat it seriously,” and pointed out that the next 10 days will be “a real spectacle.” After hanging up the phone, Kim, Khloé and Kourtney discussed the lawsuit further.“She’s suing us for over $100 million, and we’re leaving our fate in the hands of 12 random people,” Khloé said. “What if they hate us?“Kourtney, 43, then joked, “No one hates us, Khloé,” as Kim chimed in, “Hopefully they find people who just don’t know who we are.“However, Khloé wasn’t convinced. “Facts are facts — right is right, wrong is wrong. I’m not worried about something I’ve done. I’m just saying it’s gonna be stressful and annoying, and while she’s suing us,Dream’s at my house.“Kardashians and Blac Chyna.Amy Sussman/Getty; Michael Tran/GettyChyna, 34, and Rob, 35, were first linked in January 2016.
