Blac Chyna: I Only Beat Up Rob Kardashian to Defend Myself!

Even though they never actually got married or owned much property together, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s breakup has been anything but easy. There’s the custody dispute, plus lawsuits on both sides. Among other things, Rob Kardashian — with Kylie’s help — is suing Blac Chyna for her alleged violence against Rob. Well, Blac Chyna claims that she was only violent in self-defense, and wants the suit thrown out. Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian both accuse each other of drug-fueled violence . Lovely. You know, if we believed classist stereotypes, we’d say that these antics sound like they’d be happening in a trailer park and not between millionaires in a southern California mansion. But domestic violence, accusations, and drugs don’t know any socio economic boundaries, folks. Rich people are just better at keeping it quiet. Usually . So, Blac Chyna is demanding $10 million from Rob Kardashian . Or, more accurately, from his family. Because we all know that Rob, though he’s a Kardashian, doesn’t exactly have the net worth of even the “poorest” of his sisters. In fact, Rob may be too broke to pay Blac Chyna . That gives the rest of the Kardashians some extra incentive to help out their brother. So,  Rob Kardashian accused Chyna of choking him with a phone charger cord and of beating him . According to court documents obtained by The Blast , the alleged fight happened at Kylie Jenner’s house ( a house, which Rob was renting) … and resulted in about $100,000 worth of damages. We’re talking about destroyed phone, a destroyed television, and damage to doors and walls … all allegedly caused by Blac Chyna. Now, just because Blac Chyna is 5-foot-2 doesn’t negate the possibility that she could commit domestic violence and property damage. The question is: did she do it? According to court documents viewed by RadarOnline , Blac Chyna doesn’t seem to be denying that she was in some way violent with Rob. (While not necessarily admitting to everything that Rob and Kylie accuse her of doing) Instead, she’s taking an affirmative defense — claiming that she only took action in order to defend herself. (And, according to the legal language of the suit, she may or may not have been taking action to defend someone else) Chyna is trying to dismiss the suit against her over this December 16th, 2016 incident.  Some might be eager to sit back and find entertainment in this situation. Neither Rob nor Chyna project a very likable image — especially in this context. Many believe that Chyna got pregnant on purpose to create a financial tie to a wealthy family. Many believe that Rob is gross, and his revenge porn attack against Chyna over the summer pretty much confirms that. So, if you can’t stand either of them, it’s easy to just look the other way and hope that they both ruin each other’s lives. Maybe you believe that it’s what they deserve. Even if you don’t feel sorry for Kylie for having been caught in the middle of whatever happened between this former couple (because honestly, what’s $100,000 to Kylie? Proportionately to her wealth, that’s a drop in the bucket), you should worry about this situation. Because, whether it was an accident or the result of a soap opera-style scheme, Blac Chyna and Rob had Dream together. That baby daughter is a true innocent, and can’t help but be caught in the middle as her parents go to war in the courtroom.

Josh Duggar, Sisters Lose Lawsuit Against Tabloid

In the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals , the perpetrator’s famous family lashed out in every direction, desperately seeking a way to blame anyone other than Josh. This meant giving interviews in which the blame was placed on the police department that released Josh’s records, and of course, on the tabloid that first broke the story that nearly destroyed the Duggars. Back in May of 2015, In Touch magazine was the first to report that Josh had molested five young girls , four of whom were his sisters, and was assisted in covering up his crimes by his parents. Several of the older Duggar sisters sued the magazine’s publisher, Bauer Media Group, claiming that the company violated victim protection laws by publishing police reports without redacting the Duggar name. (The victims were not named in the published documents, but the Duggars argued that it would be easy to deduce the identities of the victims based on the information provided.) Josh Duggar attempted to join his sisters’ lawsuit , but was rebuffed by their legal team. Eventually, Josh filed his own lawsuit against In Touch , seeking $75,000 in damages and arguing that the magazine had criminally impinged upon his privacy. On Friday, both cases were thrown out by U.S. District Judge Tim Brooks, who decreed that In Touch was well within its First Amendment rights to publish the information contained in the police reports. “Even if one assumes that the disclosure failed to comply with Arkansas statutory redaction requirements, it is clear that the Bauer defendants cannot be held liable, for the city’s and county’s failure to follow the law,” Brooks wrote in his ruling. The Duggar girls named several other parties in their suit, including the City of Springdale, Arkansas, Washington County, and several city officials, who they claim were responsible for the release of their information. While Brooks dismissed most of the defendants, the Duggars’ claims against a few parties, including former Springdale Police Chief Kathy O’Kelley, were allowed to remain active. Those cases will be decided at a later date. Despite that sliver of remaining hope, however, this is nothing less than a devastating legal blow for the Duggars. Their case was never about the damages being sought, but instead constituted an effort to save face by demonstrating that there were numerous guilty parties who were in some way involved in the now-infamous Josh Duggar sex scandal. The judge’s ruling confirms what millions already knew: No one but Josh and his parents is responsible for the atrocities that took place in the Duggar home.

Erin Moran Dies; Former Happy Days Star Was 56

Erin Moran, the actress best known for having portrayed Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days, was found dead on Saturday from causes unknown. She was 56 years old. According to TMZ sources, authorities in Indiana received a call just after 4 p.m. this afternoon from someone reporting he or she had come across an “unresponsive female.”   When emergency medical technicians arrived on the scene, they found Moran ‘s corpse. Moran sky-rocketed to fame in the early 1970s when she was cast as the younger sister of Ron Howard’s beloved character on Happy Days. In 1982, she went on to star opposite Scott Baio on the short-lived spinoff Joanie Loves Chachi. It was canceled after just one season. Following her quick rise to fame, however, Moran struggled in life. She appeared to have a drinking problem and, after a series of bizarre incidents, eventually landed her in a trailer park in Indiana. She had reportedly gone broke and was kicked out of the mobile home she shared with husband, Steve Fleischmann. Along with her aforementioned legendary role, Moran appeared on episodes of Murder, She Wrote, Desperation Boulevard and VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club. An autopsy has been scheduled to determined cause of death. In 2011, Moran and three of her Happy Days costars (Don Most, Anson Williams and Marion Ross), along with the estate of Tom Bosley, who died in 2010, sued CBS for breach of contract. Alleging that they had not been paid for merchandising relating to the series, they sought millions in damages. In 2012, CBS and the actors settled their lawsuit, with the group receiving and undisclosed amount of money. A Burbank, California native, Moran started acting in television shows and movies before she was 10 years old. She was just 14 when she caught her major break on Happy Days.  In response to this sad news, former co-stars of Moran’s took to social media and expressed their sadness. To wit: Ron Howard : Such sad sad news. RIP Erin. I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up tv screens. Henry Winkler : OH Erin… now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth …Rest In It serenely now.. too soon. Added Moran’s good friend, Erin Murphy, who played Tabitha on Bewitched: “So sad to share that my friend Erin Moran has passed away. Rest In Peace, sweet girl. Other stars also chimed in on Moran’s passing, such as Yvette Nicole Brown, who Tweeted: “Such sad news. #RIP #ErinMoran #HappyDays Star Dead At 56. We all loved #JoanieCunningham.” And Troy Hughes: “THIS JUST IN … Erin Moran who starred in “Happy Days” and “Joanie Loves Chachi” has died according to @TMZ … She was 56.” We send along our condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Erin Moran.
