Fifteen years after the release of the infamous video that shot her into superstardom, Kim Kardashian is battling to stop another explicit video being made public.
The mum-of-four has been left mortified after an online troll threatened to release a second sex tape of her.
Fans hearts broke as the 41-year-old was reduced to tears in the premiere episode of the family’s new Hulu series The Kardashians, as her leaked 2002 sex tape returns to haunt her.
The first instalment sees the Kim flabbergasted when her six-year-old son Saint shows his mum his Roblox game on his iPad.
The Skims founder’s face drops as she takes the device from Saint and shows it to sister Khloe, 37.
A panicked Kim later explained to the cameras that there was an online character who was messaging and threatening to release an unseen second tape of her.
“The last thing I want as a mum is my past to be brought up 20 years later,” she said. “This is real embarrassing sh*t and I need to deal with it.
The reality star featured in a video with her ex-boyfriend Ray J, which they shot on holiday together nearly 20 years ago.
Kim and Ray-J were 22 when the footage was made.
Later in the episode, Kim is seen on the phone to her lawyer, insisting she is “99.9% sure no other tape exists.
“If my son was a little bit older and able to read…” she tailed off as she couldn’t bear the thought.
“I was mortified. I died inside. For 20 years this has been over my head.
"This mistake – or is it a mistake? It was my boyfriend of years. We go on a trip and film a video.”
While on the phone to her lawyer Marty Singer about the “threats” that there is more footage from the sex tape, Kim explained using air quotes: “‘Ray J's manager’ is claiming he has a sex tape of us in Santa Barbara.”
She added to the cameras: “This is supposed to be unreleased footage. I really don't know what they have."
The couple were on holiday in Cabo, Mexico, celebrating Kim’s 23rd birthday when they filmed the original X-rated home movie.
Kim continued: “It's embarrassing for that to be out there but it's not the most scandalous thing and I'm not going to be made to feel that way. I'm human.”
Later in the Hulu show, which was filmed around six months ago, Kim was seen calling her ex-husband Kanye West – who she shares four children with – in floods of tears.
Kim broke down on the phone, sobbing: “"I almost died when Saint thought it was funny," cried the mum.
"Thank God he can't read yet. Over my dead body is this going to happen to me again. I just want it gone. This is not going to f*** with me."
Earlier this week it was reported that Kim is “worried rapper Ray J plans to make millions” by sharing other intimate recordings with the public.
The mum-of-four has already splashed hundreds of thousands of dollars on hiring a team of attorneys in a bid to shut him down.
Kim, who split from estranged husband Kanye West last year, is determined to protect her family "at all costs".
A source told The Sun: "Kim knows that Ray J made other tapes of them together. Some of the footage will be incredibly intimate.”
The first tape - which featured Kim - threatened to ruin her showbiz career before it even started.
But in the end, it helped her rise to fame.
The fashion mogul was relatively unknown when the video was shared in March 2007 by Vivid Entertainment, titled Kim Kardashian: Superstar.
At the time, Kim had appeared as Paris Hilton's stylist on The Simple Life, but to many, she was known as the daughter of Robert Kardashian.
Kim later appeared in family series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where she shot to fame.
She filed a lawsuit against Vivid - accusing the company of using the tape without her permission.
But the star later dropped the suit after family friend Joe Francis helped her acquire $5million for its distribution instead.
