VOSS Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Quote Kim Kardashian, her mother Kris Jenner and her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner all sat in the front row of a Los Angeles courtroom as prospective jurors aired their feelings about the famous family and the four women, all defendants in a lawsuit brought by Rob Kardashian’s former fiancée Blac Chyna. “Anything that has to do with their names is just a big no for me,” one man said. “I don’t think reality TV is good for society.” Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, is suing the Kardashians, alleging they destroyed her television career, and during jury selection her attorney Lynne Ciani asked 47 candidates their feelings about the plaintiff and defendants, and the reality shows the case stems from. Another said, “I sincerely hope none of these people get any wealthier because of this.” One woman said her teenage daughter tried to watch “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” when it first came on, but she put a stop to it. “I don’t think they were the best role models,” she said. “I wouldn’t let her watch anything involving them.” One panel member couldn’t even wait to be asked. Told to give his name, occupation, marital status and hometown shortly after sitting down, he answered then added, “and I just want to say I have a very negative perception of the parties and I’m not sure I could be unbiased.” The defendants didn’t seem defensive about the disrespect. They chatted with each other and smiled during breaks. A middle-aged man called in as a potential juror was heard saying, “I have never watched the Kardashian show but I have watched the Kardashian s** tape and I don't think I could be neutral in this case. I'm going to be playing that sex tape in my head and possibly not listening too closely…” Judge Gregory W. Alarcon wasn’t entirely pleased by the tone, however. “I appreciate your honesty. You’re certainly not shy,” he told the panel. “But this is the type of case like all cases where everybody is entitled to a fair trial. There’s a jury instruction that says the wealth of a party or the poverty of the party doesn’t matter.” The jury is expected to be seated later Monday, with opening statements in the trial starting Tuesday. The Kardashian women are all expected to testify, and had been expected to attend at least parts of it, but their appearance for jury selection was something of a surprise. Wearing loose-fitting business suits, the mother in white, her daughters in blacks and grays, they were ushered in by security at the last moment before the jury panel was brought in. One prospective juror, who has served on other cases, said he didn’t like the pampered treatment he felt the defendants were getting. Michael G. Rhodes, the Kardashians’ attorney, explained that courthouse security drove them in and escorted them into the courtroom for a reason. “Do you understand that there is a dark side to celebrity,” Rhodes said, “and that people that are famous sometimes need extra security?” Recommended “Does that mean that they need Fiji water hand-delivered to them as they sit in court?” the man responded. In 2017, Chyna sued the family for $100 million, saying they had defamed her and illegally interfered with her contracts and business dealings, using their power with producers and executives to drive her out of reality television. The Kardashians denied any wrongdoing and said in court filings that they had legitimate concerns about Chyna and fears for the safety of their son and brother given the “violence and toxicity” of the relationship.

Badger Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Whilst this is a kii it’s a shame some people can’t try to be unbiased in a court of law
mxoonlight Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 That man’s comment was cringe and I’m glad the judge clocked him, imagine being that much of a loser to say that in a court room It’s not a surprise the public isn’t here for them though
sourtwink Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 disgusting people openly admitting that they would be biased jurors on the basis of **** shaming women. lock them up
MadonnasBoyfriend Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Why do people have such animosity towards them? It's disgusting and reeks of jealousy. They are all good and nice people
James_Dean Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Those jurors are nasty. Good thing they got the boot
GivingCher Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 This family sucks but lots of these comments still reek of misogyny
LatinFreak Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 As annoying as they are i hope they take Chyna down. Shes worse.
#Beautiful Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 So cool and nerdy dragging the Kartrashians in 2022!!!!11 Give it up. Black Chyna needs to piss off too
karron0624 Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 This isnt a Kardashian thing, its a juror thing. Most people do not want to sit on a Jury of a multiday case where they make next to nothing when they could be home or working and actually making money. Ive had trials where people have said worse things.
SimpleKindofLife Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I don’t believe that Blac Chyna deserves $100 million but I do believe that her finances were probably interfered with. Kris Jenner has so much industry pull and she seems like a snake. Rob should’ve never gotten with Chyna however

They will not be selected as they have prior strongly rooted objections to the Kardashians. Also, it should not be frowned upon, if you have an opinion on someone the decent thing to do is come forward, everyone deserves a jury that is as close to unbiased as possible. It's not about 'someone should try to be unbiased' it's about selecting a group of people who will remain even keeled.
cypriotpcdfan Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Ok, I'm officially convinced that Get Out was about the Kardashians. Look at Khloe's face, it's in the sunken place.
pxxxtrick Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I guess it’s a good thing they’re showing their baises now.

Legendary Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Have y'all not been on jury duty before? "Showing bias" is how you easily get out of it, they know exactly what they're doing
PieceByPiece_KC Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Sounds like the case is going to get thrown up b/c they can't get an unbiased jury. Kris Jenner just keeps winning.
