On Monday, a few got to do it to their faces.
Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, is suing the Kardashians, alleging they destroyed her television career, and during jury selection her attorney Lynne Ciani asked dozens of candidates their feelings about the plaintiff and defendants, and the reality shows the case stems from.One woman said her teenage daughter tried to watch "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" when it first came on, but she put a stop to it.
The defendants didn't seem defensive about the disrespect. They chatted with each other and smiled during breaks."I appreciate your honesty. You’re certainly not shy," he told the panel. "But this is the type of case like all cases where everybody is entitled to a fair trial. There’s a jury instruction that says the wealth of a party or the poverty of the party doesn’t matter.
One prospective juror, who has served on other cases, said he didn't like the pampered treatment he felt the defendants were getting. "Does that mean that they need Fiji water hand-delivered to them as they sit in court?" the man responded."I am a pretty big fan of the Kardashians so I don’t think I would be able to make an unbiased judgment," one young woman said.
One woman who said she didn't care for the Kardashians said she liked Chyna because the two went to the same nail salon and she was "always nice to me."
