Kris Jenner took the stand Friday in Blac Chyna’s suit against the Kardashian–Jenner family. She said she was “traumatized” by the news that Chyna had held a gun to son Robert Kardashian’s head.
“[Chyna] tried to put a gun to [Rob’s] head,” Jenner told the court, per the New York Post. “My daughter, 60 days prior, was put in a tub, robbed at gunpoint. … I was traumatized by this. My daughter was almost killed,” she explained, alluding to Kim Kardashian’s close call earlier that year.
Chyna is suing the family, alleging they used their clout to cancel a show that she shared with then-boyfriend Robert Kardashian, on E! She is seeking $40 million in lost earnings and more than $60 million in estimated future earnings.
“Chyna said it was a joke. … The gun pulled on my son’s head was a joke. … I was traumatized … and it’s not a joke,” Jenner said.

“I’m a mom, and my responsibility is to take care of everyone. We didn’t put Chyna on the show, put her in a home … so we can take it away. Why would we do that?” Jenner added, referencing the reason for the suit.
According to the report, Jenner drew laughs from the jury and her daughters in the audience during her testimony.
The famous “momager” was reportedly asked why she didn’t reach out to Chyna after speaking to her son about their fight Dec. 14, 2016.
“This is now blowing up, and I was so hopeful that this was going to be OK. So to answer your question, that’s why I didn’t call Chyna,” she explained.
Asked about texts she sent, one reading “We need to ditch this b****” to the showrunner of Chyna’s program, Jenner said, “I was very angry, very upset, very disappointed. I felt so sad. It was not my proudest moment, but it was how I felt at the time.”
The family has denied Chyna’s accusations, claiming that they simply wanted to protect Robert Kardashian, the youngest of the four, from Chyna, who they say is an abusive partner, according to the report.
Chyna and Robert Kardashian share a daughter, Dream Kardashian, who is 5 years old.
