Kim Kardashian and her family were again depicted in sketches in the courtroom on Wednesday as they continued to defend themselves in the $ 108 million defamation lawsuit filed against them by Blac Chyna.
The initial illustrations by Kim, Chloe, Kylie Jenner and boyfriend Chris Jenner went viral earlier this week, with fans fearing how unrecognizable the stars were – with some jokes that the artist should “hate” them.
In new sketches released Wednesday, the four family members – all listed as defendants in the case – were seen in a Los Angeles courtroom.

Kim wore light brown pants, Khloe a beige dress and a long coat with gray suede boots, and Kylie black pants while their mother Chris wore gray pants.
All four watched intently as China, dressed in a black jacket with brass buttons and wide lapels, responded to an expected five-hour interrogation by her lawyer, Lin Chiani, and another five hours of cross-examination by Kardashian family lawyer Michael Rhodes.
China is seeking $ 108 million in damages, accusing Kardashian of slander and “deliberate interference in the contract,” which led to the annulment of Rob and China.

China, 33, whose real name is Angela White, was on trial for her $ 108 million lawsuit alleging that America’s most famous reality TV family deliberately made Rob and China to be cut.
She was speaking on the third day of the trial in Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, the jury was told that a friend who had been FaceTiming with Rob Kardashian had seen China holding a gun to his head.

The Kardashian family’s lawyer, Michael Rhodes, made his opening remarks, which began by asking each of Kardashian’s four clients to stand up as he presented them to the jury.
He first raised Chris Jenner, whom Rhodes described as the “mother and matriarch” of the family and “the boy who runs the vast empire built by this family from scratch.”
He described Kim Kardashian as “one of the most famous people in the world, an influential person” and a mother of four.

Chloe Kardashian is “an independent successful businesswoman and entrepreneur,” Rhodes said.
And Kylie Jenner, he added, is also a “complete businesswoman” with more than 300 million Instagram followers.
“The evidence will show that Miss White wanted something – she wanted to be one of them (the Kardashian family),” said Rhodes, who declined to call the reality star Black China because “it’s a stage name and it’s not a stage.” this is a courtroom. ‘
In the defamation section of the China case, Rhodes told the jury that the Kardashians “did not defame the plaintiff.”

The lawyer said that during the December 14 attack, which China denied, “there is no doubt that she had a physical affair with Mr. Kardashian” and she also put a telephone cord around his neck and pulled him away.
Rhodes said China “screamed and screamed” broke the TV and Chris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, had to physically walk in between the couple and tell Rob to “get your car keys and get out of here.”
The next day, he added, China took her child and left, never living with Rob again.
Team China? However, other fans noted that the sketch artist in the courtroom may have been a fan of Blac Chyna, as her illustration is much more complementary.
Chris and her daughters heard about the dust between China and Rob, and Rhodes added: “They were very upset. This is not what they want to play in the shows they produce …
He told the court that neither the TV nor Rob’s head was broken on the night of the battle: “The thing that broke on December 14 was their relationship.
“The relationship is over. There is no Rob and China show if there is no Rob and China show.

Rhodes pointed out that China “has no contract” with Kardashian. “All her contracts are with E!”
But as paid executive producers for Rob and China, Chris and her daughters, canceling the show also cost them money.
“They were acting against their own financial interests to protect someone they loved (Rob),” Rhodes said.
He added that E! paid Chyna a $ 100,000 cancellation fee when Rob and China’s first season ended, and an additional $ 370,000 to shoot more footage that could be used if Rob and China eventually return for a second season. . If that doesn’t happen, the footage could be used in episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
