RantCrush Top 5: July 11, 2017

Yesterday, a judge granted Blac Chyna’s request for a restraining order against her ex Robert Kardashian after he posted explicit photos of her online. The relationship that unfolded on the reality show “Rob & Chyna” has been dramatic, to say the least. Chyna says Kardashian is jealous, possessive, and used to go through her phone. Kardashian says that Chyna uses drugs and cheated on him multiple times. Then last week, Kardashian wrote in an Instagram post that he was fed up with Chyna’s behavior, called her disrespectful, and posted a screenshot of a text conversation that included a nude photo Chyna had sent him.

Total and complete court victory this morning. We worked hard on this all weekend. Revenge porn is domestic abuse. https://t.co/OK91xV1f10

Chyna hired Lisa Bloom, a lawyer who specializes in feminist issues. She is the daughter of famed attorney Gloria Allred. Kardashian hired lawyer Robert Shapiro, who represented O.J. Simpson back in the 1990s with his father. Sharing explicit photos of someone against their will is against California’s revenge porn law and is classified as a misdemeanor. Kardashian is now ordered to stay at least 100 yards from Chyna, and has been instructed not to post any photos of her, her son, or their daughter online.
