Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have reportedly had enough of Ray J’s claims about the release of Kardashian’s early-2000s sex tape. After years of back-and-forth, the dispute has turned into a legal fight, with Kardashian and her mom pushing back against Ray J’s claims in sworn court filings. The Kardashians reportedly want the court to take Ray J’s statements seriously, as they remain adamant that they did not plan the release of the tape.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner reportedly deny Ray J’s claim they stage sex tape release
TMZ exclusively reported that Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner filed declarations under oath that reject Ray J’s claims that they planned or “staged” the sex tape’s release to generate publicity. In the documents, the mother-daughter duo called that rumor false and claimed Ray J’s recent comments crossed a line.
Per TMZ, Kardashian directly addressed the accusation in her declaration. She said, “[Ray J’s] claim that I had a plan with my mother and others to release a sex tape, defraud the public, and file a ‘fake’ lawsuit against the porn company that released it to ‘create buzz’ is a lie.”
Moreover, Jenner resisted the claim that she managed the tape’s release as some kind of business move. TMZ reported that the momager claimed that the allegations that she controlled the “commercial exploitation” of the tape were “absolutely false.”
The new filings are part of a defamation lawsuit that Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have brought against Ray J, for which they hired attorney Alex Spiro. The suit argues that Ray J still cannot accept that his relationship with Kim ended decades ago.
Meanwhile, the feud reignited after Ray J publicly suggested that the Kardashians faced serious allegations, including racketeering. TMZ previously reported that Jenner said Ray J has been “publicly terrorizing” Kardashian for years. Kardashian also raised a personal concern in the case, arguing the accusations could hurt her future goal of becoming a lawyer.
The sex tape dates back to 2003 and surfaced in the public eye years later. Kardashian sued Vivid Entertainment at the time, then dropped the case and settled for $5 million.
