    The nine day trial has finally come to an end after a jury found The Kardashian family not guilty of convincing TV bosses and executives to cancel her TV show Rob & Chyna.

    The famous family were not justified in notifying the producers of the show that Chyna harmed their son and her boyfriend Rob, according to jurors.

    However, they determined that it had no significant impact on Chyna's contract or the show's cancellation, thus no damages were given. Rob & Chyna was terminated because the relationship ended, according to E! network executives.

    Chyna has since announced that she is looking to appeal the decision.

    On Wednesday (Apr 27) Rob Kardashian took the stand in Los Angeles Superior Court for the ongoing trial between Blac Chyna and the Kardashian-Jenner family.

    The 35-year-old revealed that his relationship with Chyna was "toxic" and "wasn't real love" in an emotional testimony.

    Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian began dating in January 2016. The pair reportedly split in December 2016.

    While speaking in court, Rob revealed he had met Chyna –– born Angela White –– through Instagram and mutual friends shortly after he graduated college.

    He admitted to the jury that "everything happened very quickly" after reaching out to Chyna. The pair share 5-year-old daughter Dream, who was born on 10 November 2016.

    When asked why he stayed in a relationship with Chyna after she disrespected his family "a hundred different ways" on numerous occasions, Rob explained he was at the "lowest point" in his life.

    "I was probably at the worst place in my entire life, at my weakest, lowest point"

    Rob continued: "She was the one person who brought me in at my lowest point. So I ignored her bad behavior towards my family," he said.

    "I was very vulnerable. I wasn't thinking about that stuff. My mind was just in a completely different place."

    "It wasn't real love," he continued, adding that he cared for her as they had a child together.

    "My child wasn't born out of spite."

    Rob added: "It wasn't a real type of love or we'd have been married. I didn't want to be married to someone like that. It was a toxic relationship and nothing I'd want my daughter to see, or how I was raised or how my father raised me. It was a toxic relationship from day one," he added.

    Rob also recalled an explosive fight between him and Chyna in December 2016, where Chyna allegedly tried to strangle him with an iPhone cord, hit him with a six-foot metal rod and pointed an unloaded gun at his head.

    "She landed several blows to my body, face, and back with a six-foot metal rod. I'm not gonna fight a woman or hit her back. I'm gonna take those blows," he said.

    "You don't put a gun to your fiancĂŠ's head," he continued. "It got very scary when a gun was put to my head. I tried to make it work as long as I could for the sake of our daughter."

    Rob also alleged Chyna was doing drugs and drinking alcohol onl the night of the explosive fight, telling the court, "She tried to kill me."
