Kris Jenner was called to the stand on Thursday to give evidence in the trial stemming from Blac Chyna’s lawsuit against her daughters – and she dropped a bombshell that took many people in court a minute.
Donning a spring blue suit and low-top Jordan sneakers – a collaboration with Travis Scott – the Kardashian-Jenner momager told the jury that she heard from her daughter Kylie Jenner – who was not present in court – that Chyna had been physically violent with rapper Tyga, her former fiancé, and that he even had a stab wound to the arm to prove it.
From the moment she took to the court in Los Angeles Superior Court, Jenner, 66, seemed uncertain about the litigation in which she was testifying, as Chyna’s lawyer’s series of questions sounded a little confusing even to the followers of the years-long libel saga that Chyna originally filed in 2017.
“What litigation is this about,” Jenner asked attorney Lynne Ciani when she referred Jenner to a specific exhibit. “Is this about Tyga?” I took many statements.

Ciani also questioned Jenner’s reasoning for testifying during the 2019 deposition that Chyna threatened to kill Kylie, but she allowed Chyna to date her son, Rob Kardashian.
