The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star was forced to take action earlier this week after her furious half-brother Rob Kardashian leaked her digits online in retaliation for what he thought was his fiancee Blac Chyna being snubbed from their baby shower.

Those attempting to dial the number shortly after it was published were greeted with silence, and now mobile operator Verizon have confirmed to TMZ they are treating the 19-year-old beauty as a customer who has been "harassed" and will be taking her number out of circulation for a year, instead of their usual 50-day policy.

Rob, 29, shared Kylie's number earlier in the week in an act of revenge.

He posted her digits and wrote: "Didn't invite the Mother of my child to a baby shower you all were trying to throw for me ? You all must have lost your damn minds ,,, ... I ain't hacked either this is rob dog lol (sic)"

However, it was later claimed the sock designer - whose first child with Chyna is due to be born in November - had "overreacted" as the make-up artist had been invited but was unable to attend.

A source said: "Rob was told that the shower was still going on for him but Chyna couldn't make it, but he misunderstood the entire thing and overreacted.

"The girls knew Chyna couldn't make it, and Chyna was cool with it, but Rob thought something was being done behind closed doors to make sure she couldn't be there."

Following the row, it has been speculated that Rob and Chyna's relationship is on the rocks, and the 28-year-old beauty tweeted his phone number on Thursday (29.09.16) in a bid to stop him flirting with "bitches" behind her back.

Chyna then documented the aftermath on her Snapchat account as her fiance was bombarded with messages from eagle-eyed strangers.

She explained in the video: "To ensure your man is not texting no bitches just tweet his number out! How's that feel Rob?"

Chyna then panned the camera to Rob, who was looking down at his phone, as he smiled at her and said: "Feels good."

The reality star replied: "Get your number changed! Thank you."
