Rob Kardashian has filed to dismiss his assault lawsuit against his ex girlfriend Blac Chyna.
The former reality TV star, 34, ended the legal proceedings for the sake of the former couple’s daughter Dream, five, Page Six reported.
‘My love for Dream far outweighs my desire to proceed with my claims against her mother in a public trial,’ Rob told the publication on Friday.

‘Now that the court has ruled that there is sufficient evidence to warrant a jury trial on my claim for assault, for our daughter’s sake, I am dismissing the action and focusing on my co-parenting relationship with Chyna,’ he added.
News of the dismissal follows a judge’s recent denial of Kardashian’s motion to delay the commencement of the trial.
Kardashian originally sued Chyna in September 2017 for assault and the case was set to begin next week.
On Friday evening Blac Chyna shared a new photo with her 16.3 million Instagram followers and said, ‘Life’s good.’

Rob previously filed the lawsuit and claimed his former girlfriend attempted to strangle him with an iPhone charger cord while they were staying at a home of his sister Kylie Jenner’s.
He added that Chyna had done it after consuming ‘copious amounts’ of drugs and alcohol.
In his filing, Rob claimed in addition to suffering injuries to his neck, head and face, Chyna also extensively damaged Jenner’s home.
Chyna has denied the allegations and said her actions were made in self-defense.

Chyna’s lawyer Lynne Ciani told Page Six, ‘Rob Kardashian should have thought of his daughter Dream before he filed his malicious and baseless assault and battery lawsuit.
‘Rob has sought to use his wealth and power via this vexatious lawsuit to smear Chyna as a mother and even as a human being for more than four years.
‘Rob dropped his case on the eve of trial, not because he suddenly wanted to drop the case ‘for the sake of his daughter,’ but because he knew his assault and battery accusations against Chyna were false. In other words, Rob’s avoidance of the serious consequences of an adverse jury verdict is why he dropped his case, not his supposed ‘concern’ for his daughter.
‘Chyna will now seek relief from the court to make sure that Rob cannot refile his lawsuit and to make him pay for her substantial litigation costs,’ she finished.

Chyna previously unsuccessfully attempted to have the lawsuit dropped after claiming to have proof she never attacked her ex. A judge denied her request to have the suit dismissed.
Chyna claimed Rob told the Los Angeles Department Of Children and Family Services she never attacked him in 2016, according to legal documents obtained by Blast.
