Kardashians Want Blac Chyna to Cover $390k Court Costs for Her Lawsuit
Kardashians Blac Chyna Better Fork Over $390k ... For HER Failed Lawsuit
UPDATE
6:25 AM PT -- 6/15 -- Chyna's attorney, Lynne Ciani, tells TMZ ... "Kris Jenner's attempt to financially ruin Angela White, the mother of her granddaughter Dream Kardashian, will not work. Under California law, costs are awarded to defendants only when they are without fault."
UPDATE
"In this case, a Los Angeles jury reached a verdict that defendant Kris Jenner falsely claimed that 'Chyna beat the s*** out of Rob’s face' and that defendant Kylie Jenner falsely claimed that Chyna would 'proceed with using and physically abusing my brother.'”
Blac Chyna suing the Kardashians is proving to be a very costly affair for her -- the family says the trial cost them nearly $400K, and now they're demanding Chyna cover that amount.
One of the things the judge ordered last month, after a jury ruled in favor of the Kardashians, was for BC to pay their litigation costs because she put them through the legal wringer.
Welp, the Kardashians' lawyers filed new paperwork laying out their financial burden for the trial, and it's just over $390k. BTW, that does NOT include their attorneys' fees.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the Kardashians' legal team insists the family spent more than $391,094 in total throughout the years-long proceedings.
Some of their highest outlays -- service of process ($9,325.99); hosting electronic documents ($7,248.35), court reporter fees ($19,895), and deposition costs ($63,078.20).
The biggest ticket item though -- their team claims $184,871.71 was spent on "models, enlargements, and photocopies of exhibits." There's even more money that goes uncategorized, nearly $97k worth.
Like we said, the judge said they're owed their costs, but the court will still need to sign off on the final amount.
Call it hard lesson #327 for Chyna: If the victor gets the spoils, the loser gets the bill.
