Kim Kardashian Victorious in Keeping $300 Million Kimoji Legal Battle Private

Kim Kardashian has scored a small victory in the $300 million lawsuit accusing her of ripping off her former business partner with her Kimojis.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Kardashian’s former partner David Liebensohn has informed a federal judge he will be dropping his federal case against the reality star.

Liebensohn says he will be moving the dispute to arbitration, which is a private court where the proceedings are sealed from the public.

The decision by Liebensohn comes only weeks after Kardashian demanded the case not be heard in public.

Kardashian recently filed heavily redacted documents arguing the lawsuit was filed in the wrong state. The case was filed in Oklahoma but says it should be filed in California. She claims it would cause her business financial harm to continue in Oklahoma. She asked the judge to dismiss it completely or move it to arbitration immediately.

The judge will no longer have to make a decision on that since Liebensohn has agreed to fight Kardashian privately.

Earlier this year, Liebensohn sued Kardashian and her company Kimsaprincess.Liebensohn – along with partners – created several clever phone apps. He also helped create a series of sexy emojis, that caught the eye of Kardashian.

He said Kardashian had her friend Jonathan Cheban reach out about wanting to put together an 80/20 deal with Liebensohn, where she got the majority of the profits. He refused to agree to those terms but they continued to talk to Kardashian.

Liebensohn and his partners then created a series of “Kimojis” which were a “set of animated emojis and GIFs of the Kardashian family, with Kardashian West.

They claim she loved the idea and promised to work together as a team.

Liebensohn claims she insisted to file the trademarks for the project herself. The two reached a 60/40 deal and started working.

However, he claims Kardashian then terminated their deal based on her belief Liebensohn’s partner had been talking about the project to third parties. He later claims she was aware of this before even entering into the deal, despite her saying otherwise when terminating the deal.

Kardashian’s lawyer threatened to sue him and his partners for $5 million, accusing them of emotional distress.

He claims Kardashian then launched her own “Kimojis”, despite not even coming up with the name.

Liebensohn sued seeking hundreds of millions in damages.
