After the verdict was read on Monday, May 2, Chyna's attorney Lynne Ciani spoke to reporters outside the courtroom, revealing: ”Two things. Number one, the jury found that Chyna had not physically abused Rob Kardashian," and, "Number two, the jury found that all four defendants intentionally interfered with [Chyna’s] contracts with the E! Network. We will appeal the remainder of the verdict."

Network.
