Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have vehemently denied Ray J’s claims that they orchestrated the release of his and Kardashian’s infamous sex tape in 2007.
The mother-daughter duo sued the R&B singer for defamation in October last year after he claimed that racketeering charges against their famous family “would be appropriate.”
He later launched a countersuit, accusing them of leaking the sex tape, which was filmed in 2003.
Kardashian, 45, and Jenner, 70, addressed Ray J’s accusations in a recent declaration filed in Los Angeles and obtained by People magazine.
Calling the claims “false,” Kardashian said that she has “incurred expenses to combat” Ray J’s “lies and manage my wellbeing and reputation,” including undergoing therapy and working with “communications, legal and strategic advisors.”
“His 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,” Kardashian said in the declaration.
In Jenner’s declaration, she similarly called the claims “absolutely false,” saying she did not “ask, make, encourage or assist my daughter Kim in filming any sex tape or decide what tape to release, as Defendant further outrageously claimed in his cross-complaint.”
“As a mother, the notion that I orchestrated or produced sex tapes involving my daughter, or was in any way involved in the creation or distribution of any sex tapes, is not only entirely untrue but deeply offensive and harmful and has haunted me for decades,” Jenner continued.
She added that she was “absolutely heartbroken, crushed and devastated as a mother to see my daughter in this situation where her most intimate and private moments were exposed to the world.”
“In no world would I ever be involved in any way, shape or form in peddling any tapes of my daughter like this. Defendant’s insinuations to the contrary are utterly false and disgusting,” the mother of six said.
The Independent has contacted Ray J’s representative for comment.
Kardashian and Ray J dated on and off from 2003 to 2006. During their relationship, they made a consensual sex tape that was released in 2007 by adult entertainment company Vivid Entertainment, propelling Kardashian to household name status.
In their declarations, Kardashian and Jenner also denied Ray J’s allegations that they engaged in racketeering and committed RICO violations. He claimed that racketeering charges against the famous family “would be appropriate” in the 2025 documentary TMZ Presents: United States v. Sean Combs.
The next month, in his countersuit, Ray J alleged that Kardashian and Jenner “spent two decades peddling the false story that the sex tape... was leaked against her will.” He further argued that their lawsuit stems from their anger that he “no longer wants to play along with their tall tale.”
In response to the lawsuit, Kardashian and Jenner’s lawyer Alex Spiro told TMZ: “After realizing he is losing the case and losing his way, this disjointed rambling distraction is not intimidating anyone. Ray J will lose this frivolous case too.”
