Blac Chynawill face off against exRob Kardashian‘s family in court.
On Tuesday, Chyna’s attorney Lisa Bloom announced in a statement that a “Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled that a jury will hear her allegations that[Kris] Jennerand her famous daughters unlawfully plotted to kill Season 2 ofRob & Chyna, causing Blac Chyna substantial financial losses.”
Along with Kris, the lawsuit includesKhloé Kardashian,Kim Kardashian WestandKylie Jenner.
Chyna, 30,sued Kardashian and his familyin October 2017, arguing that she suffered “significant damages” after her ex’s social media rampage that summer, in which he shared graphic and expletive-ridden content about her — including three naked photos — whileaccusing her of drug/alcohol abuse and infidelity.
Chyna alleged that the nude photo scandal — along with influence from the Kardashian family — are what gotRob &Chyna, the couple’s E! reality show, axed.

According to Bloom’s statement, E! network and Bunim Murray Productions will have to turn over documents relating to season 2 ofRob & Chyna.
“The court rejected E!’s argument that the documents were ‘trade secrets’ and ordered it to hand over the documents to Blac Chyna’s attorneys,” reads the statement.
Reps for E!, Bunim Murray and the Kardashians did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The trial is set for Feb. 3, 2020, with pre-trial depositions of Kris, 63, Kim, 38, Khloé, 34, and Kylie, 21, to take place in the spring of 2019.
Ryan Seacrest, who served as an executive producer on the spinoff, is also expected to be deposed in early 2019.
“We look forward to getting these witnesses under oath and asking them questions,” Bloom says.
The news of the upcoming trial comes less than a month after a judge rejected the Kardashian family’srequest to strike the lawsuit.
According to Bloom, instead, the court “struck only portions of six paragraphs out of a 317 paragraph complaint.”
