Ray J has initiated legal action against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner following a defamation lawsuit previously filed by them. The conflict centers around the controversial sex tape involving Kim, which Ray J asserts was produced with mutual consent.
Background of the Sex Tape Controversy
In legal documents obtained, Ray J reveals that he and Kim recorded the explicit video in 2003. A few years later, in 2006, they deliberated on the release of the tape, where it emerged that Kim wanted Jenner to oversee the marketing and distribution.
Claims of Deception
- Ray J accuses Kim and Kris of orchestrating a narrative that the tape was leaked without her consent.
- He states they have perpetuated this myth for twenty years.
- Ray claims he is no longer willing to participate in their deceptive story.
Legal Developments
Their attorney, Alex Spiro, dismissed Ray J’s lawsuit as a distraction, suggesting it lacks merit. In his filings, Ray J alleges that on the reality series “The Kardashians,” Kim, Kris, and Kanye West falsely labeled him as a sexual predator and claimed he engaged in extortion.
Settlement and Breach of Agreement
Ray J previously settled a lawsuit with Kim and Kris, receiving $6 million as part of the agreement, which prohibited any future discussions about the sex tape on the show. However, he contends that Kim, Kris, and Kendall Jenner violated this agreement shortly after it was finalized.
Financial Claims
According to Ray J, he is entitled to $1 million in damages based on this violation. He argues that Kim’s and Kris’s recent lawsuit against him is not genuinely about defamation but rather a maneuver to maintain control and public attention.
RICO Allegations
Ray J claims he observed parallels between their actions and the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act. In his statements, he alleged a conspiracy involving Kim and Kris in the management and distribution of the sex tape. He hinted at possible legal consequences for their actions under RICO statutes.
Public Statements and Future Actions
During a recent interview, Ray J discussed the implications of the Kardashians’ dealings, suggesting that he believed there could be deeper legal repercussions. He had also made comments during a September 2025 live stream, hinting at federal investigations into the matter.
This ongoing legal battle between Ray J and the Kardashian-Jenner family continues to unfold, with significant implications for both parties involving public image and contractual obligations.
