Kylie Jenner claims Blac Chyna tried to kill her brother Rob Kardashian and threatened her in text messages during her testimony.
Speaking out Monday amid the ongoing court battle between Kardashian and Chyna, the Kylie Cosmetics founder said she recalled seeing her brother shortly after his blowout fight with Chyna in December 2016, where he claimed Chyna had a gun pointed at him.
“He used the words, ‘She tried to kill me,'” Jenner said in a Los Angeles courthouse. “I assumed that was a death throes … I remember he was very upset and kind of explained what happened.”
She said her brother told her he was playing video games when Chyna walked up behind him and looped an iPhone cable around his neck.
Jenner – who previously dated Chyna’s ex Tyga – also testified that she remembers once waking up to threatening texts from Chyna.
“She sent me some devil emojis and said, ‘Count down the days’ to smack me,” Jenner testified.
When asked by Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, why she didn’t report the threats to the police, Jenner replied, “I took it as an empty threat.”
She added that Tyga told her that Chyna had problems with drugs and alcohol, and also told her about an incident where Chyna allegedly used a knife and cut his arm.
“I figured she might be high,” said Jenner, who wore a loose-fitting brown suit with large shoulder pads, when asked again why she didn’t report the threatening texts to authorities.

During her testimony, Jenner admitted that she was “a little upset when she found out on the internet that her brother had gotten engaged to Chyna.
“I was actually happy for my brother, but at the same time I was curious about how things would continue with Chyna,” she said. “Actually, I wanted to be cool with Chyna. I actually spent a lot of time with her son. Despite everything, I wanted it to work out with my brother.”
When Ciani asked Jenner if she thought Chyna dated Rob “out of defiance” for starting dating Tyga, Jenner said, “I was hoping, no, for my brother.”
Chyna, 33, dated Tyga, 32, from 2011 to 2014. He then dated Kylie, 24, on and off from 2014 to 2017, while Chyna continued dating Rob, 35, in 2016.

Jenner added she doesn’t think Chyna really loved her brother because of the physical threats that arose during the former couple’s tumultuous relationship.
“I just don’t know how you can love someone and do that to them,” Jenner said, referring to the December 2016 altercation. “So I thought it was fake.”
Chyna – who shares son King Cairo, 9, with Tyga and daughter Dream, 5, with Kardashian – testified last week that she was “just kidding” as she slipped the cord around Rob’s neck and pointed a gun “up”.
Chyna is suing Kylie, sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian and mother Kris for over $100 million in future lost wages, alleging the famous family defamed them and conspired to end their reality TV show Rob & Chyna after the incident from 2016 to kill.
Chyna has also claimed she and Rob were not invited to a meeting at Kris’ house in January 2017, where the family allegedly spoke with producers and network executives and discussed canning the second season of their show.
Emails revealed in court on Monday show Kylie has agreed to her own show that could replace “Rob & Chyna,” while Khloé wrote in an email that she was worried about her brother and about it what Rob and Chyna’s toxic relationship could be doing to their “brand.” ”
Another email between Jeff Olde — a former executive vice president of development and programming at E! Network, who also testified Monday – and his colleague read that the “entire family” is opposed to a second season of Rob & Chyna.
However, the rest of Olde’s email said that at this point he was still hoping that Rob and Chyna could get counseling that could become a storyline on their main show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The former E! The head of the network said the family was on board with the idea. Olde added that it was the best option he could think of at the time, as he would not “green light” Rob and Chyna’s show because it was no longer the “lighthearted” program that had originally been suggested to him.
“She [the Kardashians-Jenners] weren’t trying to kill the show… were they trying to save it? Kardashian attorney Michael Rhodes asked Olde.
“That’s right,” Olde said.
