Kim Kardashian joined most of her “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” (KUWTK) clan at the jury selection for the Kardashians’ upcoming trial against Blac Chyna. But what neither Kim nor her sisters anticipated was how personal the jury selection would get. And the 41-year-old mom of Psalm, Chicago, Saint, and North West got especially upset when her infamous sex tape got mentioned.
Find out what happened during jury selection for the Kardashian family’s trial against Blac Chyna. And learn which KUWTK stars attended. Plus: Discover which of Kim’s sisters tried to comfort her.
Kim Kardashian – Sex Tape Impacts Jury Selection!
Held in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the Blac Chyna trial jury selection process included the Kardashian clan’s lawyer asking possible jurors about their views on reality TV, reported Page Six. And one older man provided more honesty than the attorney may have wanted! Admitting that he never viewed “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” the man mentioned Kim specifically.
“I have watched [Kim] Kardashian’s sex tape,” announced the potential juror. “And I don’t think I can be impartial on this case.” Ouch! As a result, the entire Kardashian and Jenner clan flinched at the mention of Kim’s sex tape scandal.
But for Kim, the comment about her sex tape really hit home. The reality TV star recently admitted that she felt horrified at the possibility that her older son Saint might have seen a pop-up ad for her sex tape. And now the comment from the jury member made her noticeably upset.
Kim Kardashian – Comforted By Sister Over Sex Tape Scandal
However, other non-Kardashian audience members enjoyed the sex tape comment, laughing loudly. And to comfort her sister, Khloe Kardashian, 37, turned to Kim, soothing her by arranging her hair. Mom/manager Kirs Jenner, 66, though, looked furious, shaking her head.
And the juror didn’t seem to want to stop talking. In the wake of that comment, he then informed the judge that he felt challenged as a juror. If chosen, the man claimed he would end up “replaying that sex tape over and over again” mentally! Trying to avoid showing too many of her emotions, Kim stared at the front of the courtroom rather than the juror.
But Khloe didn’t hesitate to show her anger. And she along with mom Kris continued to look annoyed as they joined the rest of the KUWTK clan for a break. During jury selection, Kim joined Kris and Khloe in the front row of the audience. Kylie Jenner, 42, sat with her older sisters and mother. And a noticeably stronger security team guarded the reality TV stars.
Although Rob Kardashian, 35, did not attend, the front row line-up included Chyna, 33. She sat with her attorney, Lynne Ciani. Also at the jury selection was Chyna’s mother, Tokyo Toni.
