Khloé Kardashiandoes not expect to mend her relationship withBlac Chyna.
On Thursday’s episode ofThe Kardashians, Khloé, 39, made it clear that she sees no future relationship with her brotherRob Kardashian’s ex-fiancée, especially after the modelsued the Kardashian-Jenner familyfor defamation in 2017.
While raving about her brother’s parenting of 6-year-old daughterDream— whom he shares with Chyna, 35 — Khloé said in a confessional interview: “I do not have a relationship with Dream’s mom. It’s hard to have a relationship with someone when they sue you for hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Rob, 36, and Chyna were first linked in January 2016. After getting engaged and welcomingDream, the pair split for good in 2017.
In October of that year, Chyna suedKris Jennerand daughters Khloé,Kim KardashianandKylie Jennerfor intentional interference with her contract at E! in regards to the former reality seriesRob & Chyna. The lawsuit came after Robleaked nude photos of Chynaon Instagram. Amid his social media rampage, Rob alsoaccused Chyna of drug abuse, alcohol abuse and infidelity.

Chyna claimed this incident and the family’s influence over E! probably resulted inRob & Chyna’s cancellation,despite reports of it being renewedfor a second season. Because of this, her legal team argued that Chyna has likely missed out on millions of earned dollars from related appearances and social media posts.
Kim, 42, was eventuallydropped from the defamation suit, before a jury found the Kardashian-Jenner familynot guilty of defamingChyna in May 2022. No monetary damages were awarded to the model.
Since the ruling, Chyna’s attorney Lynne Ciani has saidshe plans to appeal the decision. TheReal Blac Chynastar also filed a peremptory challenge against Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory W. Alarcon, alleging unfair treatment in court.
In June of that year, the Kardashian-Jenners' legal teamfiled a petition asking Chynafor almost $400,000 to make up for the court costs they say they spent on the defamation case.

Despite everything, the drama hasn’t impacted Khloé’s relationship with her brother in any way. She revealed on Thursday’s episode that she’s still very close to the Arthur George designer andhe even has plans to possibly return to the family’s reality series.
“Rob does such an incredible job with [Dream] and I’m just there to help whenever he needs,” Khloé said in a confessional. “Rob and Iare crazy close to one another, I mean we’ve always been.”
“He’s literally the best dad I know and I’m so proud of him for that,” she continued. “And I know that he is feeling really good about himself and I’m happy for him so I have faith that, soon, he’ll be back on the show.”
