She's Dating Who?!

Blac Chyna became a household name when she went public with her romance with Rob Kardashian in January 2016. The pairing raised eyebrows due to Chyna’s complicated and contentious history with the Kardashian-Jenner family: She shares a son with Rob’s sister Kylie Jenner‘s former boyfriend Tyga.

Though they’ve since ended their roller coaster relationship, Rob, 31, and Chyna, 30, share 2-year-old daughter Dream.

<p>Just a week after news broke that Rob and Chyna were dating, the model was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.people.com/article/blac-chyna-arrested-austin-airport" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a>&nbsp;on charges of public intoxication and drug possession, with police saying she was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.people.com/article/blac-chyna-arrested-model-had-ecstasy-say-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in possession of two ecstasy pills</a>&nbsp;and acting &#8220;unpredictable&#8221; and &#8220;angry&#8221; at Austin airport in Texas.</p>

Off to a Rough Start

Just a week after news broke that Rob and Chyna were dating, the model was arrested on charges of public intoxication and drug possession, with police saying she was in possession of two ecstasy pills and acting “unpredictable” and “angry” at Austin airport in Texas.

Prosecutors dropped the charges about a year later and the case was dismissed. 

<p>In September 2017, Rob and Kylie, 21,&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/tv/rob-kardashian-suing-blac-chyna/">filed a lawsuit against Chyna</a>. In the complaint, Rob alleged Chyna attempted to choke him with an iPhone cord during an <a href="https://people.com/tv/rob-kardashian-blac-chyna-breakup-hack-fight-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dramatic fight</a> in December 2016. Rob and his sister &mdash; who owns the home where the alleged altercation took place &mdash; sued for battery, assault and vandalism. Chyna has not commented.&nbsp;</p>
                                <p>The complaint also claimed Chyna&#8217;s relationship and decision to have a baby with Rob was &#8220;nothing short of an outright fraud to shake down the Kardashian family,&#8221;&nbsp; branding her as a stripper that has &#8220;created a reputation as a money-hungry, shameless pseudo-celebrity.&#8221; In March 2018, Kylie reportedly dropped out of the suit.</p>

Legal Troubles

In September 2017, Rob and Kylie, 21, filed a lawsuit against Chyna. In the complaint, Rob alleged Chyna attempted to choke him with an iPhone cord during an dramatic fight in December 2016. Rob and his sister — who owns the home where the alleged altercation took place — sued for battery, assault and vandalism. Chyna has not commented. 

The complaint also claimed Chyna’s relationship and decision to have a baby with Rob was “nothing short of an outright fraud to shake down the Kardashian family,”  branding her as a stripper that has “created a reputation as a money-hungry, shameless pseudo-celebrity.” In March 2018, Kylie reportedly dropped out of the suit.

<p>The lawsuit was just the beginning of Chyna&#8217;s legal battle with the famous family. A month later, she&nbsp;fired back by <a href="https://people.com/tv/blac-chyna-sues-rob-kardashian-family/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filing her own lawsuit against her ex</a>&nbsp;for allegedly damaging her brand and verbally and physically abusing her. (He denied the accusations.)</p>
                                <p>A judge recently <a href="https://people.com/tv/blac-chyna-granted-trial-date-in-kardashian-family-lawsuit/">granted Chyna a trial date</a> in the case, set for Feb. 3, 2020, with pre-trial depositions of <a href="https://people.com/tag/khloe-kardashian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khlo&eacute;</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/tag/kim-kardashian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Kardashian</a>&nbsp;and Kylie and&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/tag/kris-jenner">Kris Jenner</a>&nbsp;to take place in the spring of 2019.</p>
