Rob Kardashian has decided to withdraw a lawsuit against Blac Chyna, the mother of his child and his ex-fiancée, that he filed in 2017, which accused her of assault and battery.Four years ago, Rob and his sister, Kylie Jenner, filed the lawsuit together, alleging that Chyna attempted to choke Rob with an iPhone cord during an intense fight at a home owned by Kylie.

He claimed in the lawsuit that the altercation allegedly left him with injuries to his neck, head and face. Additionally, Rob claimed that Chyna caused extensive damage to Kylie's home, which the 24-year-old makeup mogul said was in excess of $100,000.

In 2018, Kylie was dismissed from the case per her request.On Tuesday, Rob filed his own dismissal, and released a statement to ET giving his reasons for withdrawing the lawsuit.«My love for Dream far outweighs my desire to proceed with my claims against her mother in a public trial,» the 34-year-old reality star said, making mention of his and Chyna's 5-year-old daughter. «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.»While Rob seems to want to move on, Chyna's lawyer, Lynne Ciani, told ET that the lawsuit should not have been filed in the first place against the 33-year-old model, who was born Angela White. «Rob Kardashian should have thought of his daughter, Dream, before he filed his malicious and baseless assault and battery lawsuit against Dream's mother more than four years ago,» Ciani said in her statement.
