Angela White, formerly known as Blac Chyna, has addressed reports that she's selling her personal items to fund her ongoing custody battle with Tyga.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, White sold clothes, purses, and shoes through an online consignment store and to her friends and family to make ends meet amid the custody battle.
White told Entertainment Tonight, however, that she views selling her personal items as a "fresh start."
"I feel like a lot of things hold energy, right? And we had discussed this before, I just kind of wanted a fresh start," White said. "And I don't think nothing's wrong with selling your old stuff. Like, people have eBay, people sell their old cars... But, for me, I feel like now [at] this point in my life I don't really value materialistic things," White said.
The model suggested that it felt pointless to "hustle for this money" only to spend it on things that could "just disappear" at any point.
"You might leave it somewhere, somebody could rob you, steal from you, and all of that. That's why I kind of like also stepped away from wearing a lot of flashy jewelry," White said. "I feel like I'm a target already, so why even bring more attention to myself?"
White said she's focused on getting joint custody of her 10-year-old son King Cairo, who she shares with Tyga.
"The most important thing for me right now is battling my custody case to get my son, King," White said. "Once that's out the way, I feel like I can go onto the next thing, but that right now is my main priority. My kids are my main priority... [and] I'm not gonna give up, at all. Moms don't give up on their kids."
White also addressed her exit from OnlyFans, which reportedly made her $240 million in 2021.
"I will never go back on OnlyFans," she said. "As fast as [the money] comes, as fast it goes. And also, too, it comes with a lot of negativity, you know? My kids are getting older, they see all these things, and I'm just not going out like that."
In her custody case, White is seeking a more consistent visitation schedule and is asking for Tyga to pay her legal fees. White cited "plummeting business sales" as a reason for selling over $178,000 in personal items this year, according to court documents.
“It is only a temporary solution as I will eventually run out of items that I can sell," White wrote in the docs.
