Hinting to a highly graphic post that he would later make, Kardashian then wrote "More receipts are coming. Just yesterday Chyna sent me her p— and everything and said she gonna come f— me … wait for it. Never once have I cheated on Chyna and I remained loyal to her even after all the cheating she been doing and the multiple men she been f—ing including me.”

Custody Battle

After Chyna confirmed that she had been granted multiple restraining orders against her former fiance, she said that she would return to co-parenting Dream. But we have to wonder how co-parenting will work with both parents locked in this bitter and public feud. Some news outlets were even claiming that because of the pornographic nature of the scandal, the two might even lose custody of their daughter.

Chyna's co-counsel Walter Mosley told reporters that "We're going to work with lawyers on figuring out a co-parenting situation. Rob's been a fantastic father and Chyna doesn't need financial support in that way. They want to figure it out together. As big as this fight was both of their hearts are in the same place when it comes to protecting and raising Dream."
