Blac Chyna Gun To Rob's Head Was Just a Joke ... Ditto For Cable Choke!!!

Published | Updated
UPDATE

5:30 PM PT -- Blac Chyna was back on the stand Wednesday for further testimony and cross examination from the Kardashian's attorney.

UPDATE

BC told the jury Rob locked himself in a room with her phone and she became so angry she smashed a gingerbread house in the kitchen and damaged a television.

UPDATE

Chyna says she kept screaming at Rob ... "Give me back my phone, give my back my property."

UPDATE

BC says she called Kris for help, and claims Kris told her she would be right over, but instead Corey Gamble came and got Rob out of the room and Rob went to the car.

UPDATE

Chyna says Rob left the home and she immediately started packing up her stuff, moving back into her Tarzana apartment.

UPDATE

Upon cross examination, Kardashian attorney Michael Rhodes had Chyna recall the night of Dec. 14, 2016, when the gun was involved.

UPDATE

Chyna says she held up the gun but never put her finger on the trigger and maintained it was all done in a joking manner ... just like putting the iPhone cord around his neck.

UPDATE

BC says the damage she inflicted on the gingerbread house and TV was different ... because those weren't done in a joking manner, instead it was anger at Rob for not giving back her phone. She also admitted to damaging the door Rob was locked behind.

UPDATE

Chyna denied damaging Rob's car, saying she didn't throw anything at his car ... and she also denied ever threatening to kill or slap him.

UPDATE

Cross examination will resume Thursday morning.

Blac Chyna claims she was just joking around when she pointed a gun at Rob Kardashian's head ... and she says wrapping an iPhone cord around his neck was also in jest.

BC just testified in her civil case against the Kardashians ... taking the stand Wednesday and addressing Rob's abuse allegations leading up to their breakup and reality TV show's demise.

Blac Chyna told the jury she and Rob were celebrating their show being picked up for a second season back in December 2016, with the former couple marking the occasion by throwing around money and "being silly."

Chyna's lawyers showed a video clip in court from the night of their alleged fight, with footage showing Rob wearing a torn shirt. Blac Chyna says Rob's clothing was ripped when they were joking around and being silly, and she says she meant no harm and he never asked her to stop or indicated she was hurting him.

BC then testified Rob was playing video games later that night when she jokingly put an iPhone cord around his neck ... which she says was a joke to get him to pay attention to her. Chyna was adamant on the stand she was NOT trying to strangle Rob.

Blac Chyna's testimony then shifted to the gun ... with Chyna saying Rob kept it on the dresser, though it was unloaded and Rob told her there weren't any bullets in the house.

BC says Rob was eating and on FaceTime with his friends when she came up to him and put the gun to his head ... she says she jokingly said he better never leave her and wasn't being serious.

Blac Chyna also testified her Dec. 15, 2016 argument with Rob started when he accused her of cheating on him ... claiming he was very jealous and would often go through her phone. BC says things got to the point where they had a paternity test taken to assure Rob he was the father, and the test showed he was in fact her baby's daddy.

KICKIN' THE KARDASHIANS

It's interesting ... while Blac Chyna's mom, Tokyo Toni, has railed against the Kardashians on social media this week and taken shots at Kris Jenner ... BC kept referring to Kris as "Miss Kris" and said she thought of Kris as a second mom.

The trial broke for lunch and will resume later today ... stay tuned.

Scott Disick Chats Poolside With Larsa Pippen ... Ex-Pal Of Kardashians

Published | Updated

Scott Disick is keeping his ex's-enemies close -- chatting poolside with Larsa Pippen -- who had a major falling out with the famous family.

We got pics of Kourtney's ex having an animated convo with Pippen at the Setai Hotel in Miami, while Larsa dropped in for David Einhorn's birthday. Not totally surprising, Larsa calls Miami home, and Einhorn owns Papi Steak, so it's possible she and Scott just happened to be same place same time thanks to mutual friends.

One source says the two spent several hours chatting it up.

As you know, Larsa's falling out with Kim created a rift between her and the Kardashian clan ... Larsa's talked about it on "The Real Housewives of Miami," saying she knew a lot about Kim's failing marriage with Kanye West as it was falling apart.

Larsa said she thought she "took a beating" because she saw the relationship crumbling between Kim and Ye, causing them to no longer be friends.

Pippen has since said she and Kim were cool, though we really haven't seen any evidence of that ... they don't follow each other on Instagram either.

Blac Chyna's Mom Tokyo Toni Threatens Judge 'I'm Gonna Get that Judge'

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna's mom, Tokyo Toni, may have taken her displeasure with the judge too far ... because she allegedly threatened him in her daughter's trial against the Kardashians.

Tokyo went off on the judge while live streaming Tuesday on Instagram from just outside the courthouse where the civil case is underway. She says ... "I'm gonna get that judge." She's reacting to the judge booting her from the courtroom earlier in the day.

This could be extremely problematic for Tokyo, because even an oblique threat against a judge is taken seriously by law enforcement ... especially after attacks against judges and their families increased measurably over the last few years.

KICKIN' THE KARDASHIANS

Tokyo's been active on Instagram this week, going on the social media platform Monday and ripping the Kardashians over their appearance on the first day of jury selection.

In Monday's rant, Tokyo calls out the entire Kardashian/Jenner clan ... hurling profanities, laughing hysterically, claiming the family "looked dead" and comparing Kris Jenner to the bad guy from the movie "Saw."

SEX TAPE SNAFU

Tokyo's initial video was addressed in court Tuesday morning, with the judge telling her she's no longer allowed back inside the courtroom for the trial.

As we've told you, BC sued her ex, Rob Kardashian, and his entire family back in 2017 ... accusing the Kardashians of getting her and Rob's reality series, "Rob & Chyna," canceled for what BC claims was a personal vendetta ... and now it's gone to court.

Blac Chyna-Kardashian Case Opening Statements ... Kardashian Lawyer Claims BC Was Violent With Rob

Published | Updated
UPDATE

6:06 PM PT -- The Kardashian's lead attorney, Michael Rhodes, told the jury Tuesday they would be presented with evidence showing Blac Chyna was violent with Rob and that's what is behind their reality show's demise.

UPDATE

Rhodes says BC and RK were living together in Kylie's home in December 2016 when Chyna allegedly got into a heated exchange and needed to be physically separated by Corey Gamble.

UPDATE

The Kardashian's lawyer says Gamble told Rob to get his car keys, driver's license and leave the home ... and Rhodes told the jury Chyna threw a chair at Rob's car as he drove off.

UPDATE

Rhodes also said the jury would be presented with evidence showing Chyna wrapped a phone cord around Rob's neck, and pointed a gun at his head.

UPDATE

The Kardashian's attorney says Blac Chyna got a restraining order against Rob after the fight, which made it illegal for them to be in the same room, causing the network to pull the plug on their reality show.

Opening statements for the Blac Chyna-Kardashian civil case have officially begun, and BC's lawyer laid out some shocking claims right out the gate ... including Kris Jenner once allegedly saying "Take her off the show."

Chyna's lead attorney, Lynne Cianni, told the jury Tuesday that they would be presented with evidence showing the Kardashian women -- Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie, specifically -- worked to tank her and Rob's reality show ... which she says will include text messages.

Cianni said one of those messages was sent from Kris to the showrunner for 'Rob & Chyna' ... which she claims read, "Take her off the show." BC's lawyer says the text came after Kris complained to the showrunner that Chyna had allegedly "beat the s*** out of Rob's face."

However, Cianni says they have video evidence to prove that Kris was making that up -- unaired footage from around the same time which she says will show Rob without a scratch on him. The attorney insists ... no attack happened.

Not just that, but Cianni also says they have evidence that'll prove Kim herself helped get their show canceled. The attorney says there was a "kill fee" of $100k ... but Chyna never accepted it, because she was already making around $90k an episode.

Cianni says there were other lies uttered about her client ... including the idea Chyna and Rob were not together during the filming of their show, the notion Rob and Chyna couldn't be in the same room together, the claim that Season 2 was never greenlit and that footage for Season 2 was never shot, and the contention there was no creative plan long-term.

As a result of this alleged coordinated campaign to sink their series, Cianni says Chyna lost out on other reality show appearances, club appearances and money for social media posts -- which hurt her financially and beyond.

UPDATE

11:18 AM PT -- The rant was addressed in court this morning. The Kardashians' attorney, Michael Rhodes, told the judge Toni had made threatening comments against them in the video. The judge told the court that Toni was no longer allowed to come back into the courtroom for the trial. Blac Chyna's attorney, Lynne Ciani, told the judge she has no control over what her mother says.

UPDATE

Rhodes also told the judge that he didn't think the seating arrangement in court was fair to the Kardashians. He said they had to sit in the public area, while Blac Chyna was allowed to sit at the plaintiffs table.

UPDATE

Rhodes said Blac Chyna was so comfortable at the table that she "put on shower slippers." Ciani told Rhodes that Blac Chyna had to wear those shoes because she had a blister.

UPDATE

A jury was chosen and a trial will begin shortly.

Blac Chyna's mom, Tokyo Toni, is not a fan of the Kardashian family and she wants everyone to know it ... unloading on the entire family in a rant, following their appearance in court.

Tokyo fired shots at the Kardashian/Jenner clan Monday night on Instagram live ... just hours after they all stood together in the same courtroom.

Ya gotta see the video ... Tokyo calls out the entire family, throwing out profanities at times and laughing hysterically at other moments.

At one point, she says the family 'looked dead' and compared Kris Jenner to a character from the movie 'Saw' ... another time she raps about the family and says, "They got no fatty. They need a daddy."

This live video came after Blac Chyna and her mom appeared in court for the first day of jury selection, for the $300 million fight with the Kardashians/Jenners ... it seems that Tokyo was getting a full kick out of it, as she was rolling a J and talking for minutes in a full-blown rant.

During the court appearance, lots of members of the Kardashian clan showed up ... including Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie.

As we've told you, Blac Chyna sued her ex, Rob Kardashian and the entire fam back in 2017 ... accusing them of getting her and Rob's series, "Rob & Chyna," canceled for what she claims was a personal vendetta against and now its finally getting a day in court.

So, it's obvious Tokyo's beef comes on her daughter's behalf ... and she surely didn't hold back how she felt.

So far, there has been no response from anyone in the Kardashian/Jenner family ... we'll see how everything plays out in court.

Blac Chyna's Kardashian Case Kim, Khloe, Kris, Kylie in Court for Jury Selection ... Rob Skips It

Published | Updated
UPDATE

3:21 PM PT -- The jurors were asked if they've seen the Kardashian's shows, and one potential juror responded, "I've seen the Kardashian sex tape." It seems the juror wanted off the trial, because he said he would have the tape in his head and probably wouldn't be listening to the testimony.

Blac Chyna's civil case against the Kardashians is officially underway, and it seems the family at the center of it are quite invested right out the gate ... even for jury selection.

Indeed ... several of the Kardashian women are in court Monday as Chyna's lawyers and theirs pick men and women to weigh in once and for all. That includes Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie ... all of whom were present as the selection process got started.

Chyna's there too, obviously -- but one person who decided to skip today's proceedings ... her ex, Rob Kardashian, who was directly tied to BC during the initial run of their show.

We got eyes in the courtroom where they're ticking through potential jurors -- around 40 or so people have been brought in as prospects -- and besides the Kardashian presence ... it sounds like it's a pretty standard day as lawyers go through the motions with questions.

Fashion-wise, Kris is in a white pant suit ... the other ladies are in black pant suits.

As you know ... this case stems from Chyna's 2017 lawsuit, where she alleged the family torpedoed her and Rob's series, "Rob & Chyna," for what she claims was a personal vendetta against her. The suit's been stalled for years, but it's finally getting its day in court.

The Kardashians have denied her claims -- suggesting there were lots of reasons the show got nixed -- including the not-so-great ratings. They also insist they had nothing to do with that decision.

Despite all the back-and-forth mudslinging between both parties, we do know Chyna has been looking forward to her opportunity to make her case in front of a jury of her peers.

No better time to decide who that'll be than right now.

Kim Kardashian The Dildo, Sex Tape Comment was a Joke!!!

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian seemed to have a nagging suspicion, if there were another sex tape out there with her and Ray J ... it could only have been if he stuck a foreign object up her butt, but sources close to Kim tell TMZ, she was not serious ... it was a joke.

The first episode of "The Kardashians" on Hulu showed Kim fretting about the rumors of a second sex tape. She said she was 99% sure one didn't exist, but if it did she mused, "What if I was f***ing sleeping and he stuck a dildo up my ass? I don't know."

FINDING THE AD

As one source put it, "The comment was funny and dramatic in the moment with Kris and Khloe to drive home the point that she really did not remember there being another tape."

Our sources say the next episode shows the lengths to which Kim went to ensure no tape existed, and if on the off chance it did it would never see the light of day. We're told you see Kanye handing Ray J's hard drive over to Kim to prove there's no additional footage.

As we reported, Ray J willingly gave Ye the hard drive. Our Ray J sources tell us he handed the hard drive over because he felt bad for Kim and wanted both of them to close the book on the 20-year-old sex tape saga. Ray's focusing on his fam and business and wants nothing to do with the tape. What's more, our Kardashian sources say Kim never really believed Ray would try to peddle another tape.

In next week's episode, We're told Kim poured over the contents on the hard drive and found no unreleased footage. Kim reaches the conclusion no such footage exists anywhere and she talks about her desire to move on and focus on her kids, her business and justice reform.

Kim, Khloe Kardashian VIP Treatment at the Mouse House!!!

SKIPPING THE LINE

Kim and Khloe Kardashian took their kids to Disneyland this week, and it highlighted the difficulty of being one of the most famous families on earth.

The Kardashians plunked down at least $3K for VIP access ... something that's available to everyone. For them, it's kinda a necessity, since they would be overwhelmed by fans if they stood in line and the trip would be a disaster for the kids.

Some fans were pissed when Disneyland staff shut down the teacup ride ... you see the brood in 3 of the teacups while the others remain empty, and that didn't sit well with some folks waiting in line. We're told the Kardashians didn't request that the ride be shut down to other guests ... Disneyland staff just did it. They did not shut down other rides for the fam.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

This was True's first trip to the happiest place on earth, and we know that because Khloe apologized for photoshopping a prior pic -- taken last October -- to cover Stormi's face. Khloe confessed, and all is good.

Chrissy Teigen took a trip Thursday with her fam to the Mouse House, celebrating her daughter Luna's birthday ... Chrissy seemed to have a blast, but looks like Luna is gripping on for dear life on Splash Mountain.

Kim Kardashian Sobs Over Possible New Sex Tape ... Worries Ray J May Have Used Foreign Object While She Slept

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian is using the full force of her celebrity to ensure another sex tape isn't released -- we knew that -- but now we hear her on the phone with her lawyer, and, well, she's pretty graphic about foreign objects and whatnot.

The convo between Kim and legal pit bull Marty Singer is there for all to hear on the debut of "The Kardashians" on Hulu, and Kim clearly means business.

FINDING THE AD

The trigger for the emotional conversations is Saint seeing a meme on a videogame touting a new KK sex tape. As we've already reported, she says she's 99% sure there's no new footage from her encounter with Ray J, but there's a level of uncertainty. She says, "What if I was f***ing sleeping and he stuck a d***o up my ass? I don't know."

Kim asks Marty to "scare the s**t out of Ray J's manager ... mostly to protect her kids.

What's especially interesting ... Kim is on the phone with Kanye as she bemoans the situation, and it seems he provides her a measure of comfort.

She says during the episode, "For 20 years this has been held over my head, of this mistake, or is it a mistake? This was my boyfriend of years. We go on a trip, we film a video. It's embarrassing for me to be out there, but it's not the most scandalous thing and I'm not going to be made to feel this way. I'm just human."

Khloe Kardashian Oops, Caught Me Photoshopping True!!! 'I F***ed up' on Disney Pics

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian knows she told on herself when she mistakenly revealed she's guilty of photoshopping her daughter into Disneyland photos -- something the Internet dragged her for months ago.

That's right. Khloe had to cop to deceiving folks about True being at Disneyland with her cousin Chicago back in January. She wrote, "Welllppp I f**ked this one up. Anyways….. let’s focus on something else 😂 ".

Of course, she had no choice but to come clean after posting a video Tuesday, saying True was at Disneyland for the first time to celebrate her 4th birthday.

Khloe Kardashian
DISNEY DAY TRIP!

Fans quickly recalled Kim Kardashian posting a pic of her daughter, Chi and True at Disneyland back in December 2021. So, it wouldn't have been True's first time if that December shot was real.

The pic looked fishy from the jump ... fans called out the pretty obvious photoshopping.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Turns out, the photo was taken in December, but it was actually Kylie's daughter, Stormi with Chi.

Of course, the question now is why it was necessary to go to such lengths to photoshop True??? It's a damn good question, but so far the fam ain't talking.

Kanye West Wanted to Give Up His Entire Career To Become Kim's Stylist

Published | Updated

In case you didn't understand or comprehend the full scope of Kanye West's infatuation with Kim Kardashian, look no further than his offer to give up his career to become her full-time stylist ... according to Kim herself.

The whole thing plays out in the upcoming premiere episode of "The Kardashians" on Hulu -- set to release this week. Kim's in her closet, trying out looks for her upcoming 'SNL' gig and talking to her friend about some other outfits Kanye's recently selected for her to wear.

She then drops an extremely telling line, saying, "Kanye wants to quit everything and dedicate his life to being my stylist."

Both Kim and her friend laugh it off -- but you can tell it's 100% legit -- because Kanye undeniably loved dressing Kim.

It's interesting, since we've seen him in his more recent relationships -- with Chaney Jones and Julia Fox -- he's also played stylist. Dressing both women almost exclusively in Balenciaga. In fact, Jones even wore the same sunglasses Kim wore months before at a 'Donda' listening event.

Kanye's been radio silent since we broke the story of his Instagram ban after attacking Kim, Pete, Trevor Noah and others on the platform. We were also first to report his dropping out of Coachella ... where he was supposed to headline Sunday night.

Kim's legally single, and working with her own style team now ... so it will be interesting to see if Kanye's future will continue to balance fashion and music, or if he'll find a new muse to mold.

Kim & Pete Chow Down on 'Ham & Yeezy' Pizza ... A Fromage Homage to Kanye!!!

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson got a taste of Kanye West on their dinner date -- something that might sting a bit for Ye -- but on the level of pizza, K&P find her ex irresistible.

Kim, Pete, Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker and a group of friends all descended on Jon & Vinny's on Fairfax Thursday night after "The Kardashians" Hulu premiere party for what Kim called a "late nite snack."

Funny enough, we're told one of the menu items ordered for the table included the restaurant's famous "Ham & Yeezy" pizza ... topped with smoked ham, vodka sauce, red onion, caciocavallo, mozzarella and pickled Fresno chilis.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

A source tells us Kim, Pete and company didn't just stop at pizza ... ordering a smorgasbord of goodies -- salad, two pastas, meatballs, chicken parm and topping it all off with funfetti cookies and soft serve ice cream.

As we reported, Kim and Pete were very lovey-dovey at the show premiere last week -- arriving and leaving together -- and Hulu cams were rolling throughout the whole party.

TMZ broke the story -- Pete's gonna have to wait for his first official face time on "The Kardashians" -- cuz they've already wrapped and sent season 1 to Hulu ... so expect to see Pete come season 2.

Khloe Kardashian pulled out all the stops for her daughter's 4th birthday -- and the theme this year is quite clear ... it would appear the kid likes kitty cats, so the party's purrrfect.

Mama Bear has been documenting the festivities all day ... and just like any other Kardashian shindig for their children, this one's no different in how above and beyond Khloe went to make True's day special. Seriously ... their pad's totally decked out with decorations.

041022_khloe_kardashian_kal_2
KITTEN OVERLOAD

Indeed ... it would appear Khloe and co. went with a feline feeling to ring in the big day -- and True's loving it. Some of these vids of her soaking it all in are pretty heart-warming.

Not only are there a ton of cat party favors all over the place, but some actual kittens have been brought in as well ... so True and all of her cousins/friends have more than enough to keep themselves occupied, on top of all the other activities around.

There's a trampoline, a face painter, a ball pit with stuffed animals and prizes, a jump house/slide -- and there's even some kind of anime cat animal character in costume who's all set to boogie ... and which True is willing to help with as well. The girl gets down!

Oh, and her actual birthday cake was something behold too -- multi-layered, and intricately designed. Also, very on theme for what's going on around them.

Like we said ... it's kind of the M.O. for the Kardashian moms -- they go all out for their kids, and Khloe is no exception. These are just a handful of snapshots of the scene, but if you peep her IG Story ... you'll see the full scope. The place is like a kid wonderland out there.

It looks like some of Kim's children are also on hand ... including North -- who gets a little mouthy with her aunt about her thoughts on age 4 -- plus Dream and other little ones who are all running around and having a blast.

There's toys, there's games, there's attractions, there's music ... what else could a 4-year-old want in this day and age???

Absolutely nothing as far as we can tell. Seems her mother's checked all the boxes and then some. And True's enjoying every minute of it, as she should. Happy birthday!

Hulu's 'The Kardashians' Pete's Face Time Will Come ... A Little Late to the Game!!!

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson has a lot in the works these days, but his future is set to include reality show appearances as well ... including his GF's brand-spankin' new show.

Cameras were rolling for "The Kardashians" Hulu show Thursday night in Hollywood when Kim, Pete, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, Kris and more hit Goya Studios for the season 1 premiere. Kim and Pete arrived together ... and their entrance was captured by the show's cams.

What's more, cameras were rolling when Kim and Pete interacted through the night -- including when they got in the car together and left for dinner at Jon & Vinny's.

A Hulu source tells us season 1 has already wrapped and it's in the hands of the streaming giant ... so fans hoping to get a glimpse of Pete on the show will have to wait for season 2.

We do know one thing ... Kim will discuss her relationship with Pete in season 1 -- but he won't get any face time.

As we told you, "The Kardashians" premiere event felt like a full-fledged movie premiere -- closing down several blocks in Hollywood -- with a ton of food, good drinks and a sneak peek of the new season.

Khloe Kardashian Blasts Critics Who Attacked Her for Holding True Worry About Your Own Kids, Not Mine

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian is in no mood for criticism on how she cares for her daughter, and she's now telling critics to worry about their own kids ... not hers.

Khloe was front and center at the premiere of the Kardashian's Hulu series Thursday, and she brought 3-year-old True along for the ride. Khloe was holding her kid for a time, and, of course, the Twitter mob dragged her because they felt the kid was too old to be held.

Khloe just responded ... "For the people who comment that I hold True too much… number 1 I'm gonna hold my baby until I can't hold her anymore."

She went on to say she had good reason to hold her daughter ... there was a flood of flashbulbs, lots of screaming and a crush of people all around her.

Khloe ended with a fair shot ... "Worry about your own children. We good over here".

Fact is ... at one point True, whose father is NBA player Tristan Thompson, was on solid ground and she and her mom posed for pics.

'The Kardashians' Hulu Takes Over Hollywood For Show Premiere

Published | Updated

"The Kardashians" Hulu show has taken over Hollywood -- shutting down several blocks for premiere night -- featuring Kim, Pete, Kourtney, Travis, Kylie, Khloe, Kris and more.

The whole thing went down at Goya Studios Thursday where a select number of guests were invited to hang with the family, watch the first episode from the upcoming series and get eyes on a couple super-loved-up couples.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davison showed up together, though he allowed her to walk the carpet by herself while he waited at the end. In their normal style, Travis and Kourtney couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Kim was dressed in a latex dress exclusively designed by Manfred Thierry Mugler, created jus before his death.

As for the episode -- you can tell Hulu stepped up production -- from the opening drone scene to the cutaway interviews ... it all seems like a step-up from 'KUWTK.'

The premiere's main storyline follows Kim's 'SNL' announcement, along with family reactions and how she planned to do her opening monologue. She talks about Kanye a lot, and it was clearly a time when the two had a solid relationship, as she even ponders bringing him to 'SNL' as her musical guest.

The episode wrapped with thunderous applause from the couple hundred in attendance, and after, guests were treated to drinks -- featuring Kendall's 818 Tequila -- and bites including chicken sandwiches, poke bowls and desserts.

FINALLY AT PEACE

A witness inside tells us Kim and Pete did a ton of socializing, but always seemed to find each other to check in throughout the night.

The rest of the world will get to see the show when it premieres April 14 on Hulu.
