Overview
- Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner submitted sworn declarations this week rejecting Ray J’s claims that they planned or profited from releasing the tape, calling the allegations false.
- Ray J countered that the declarations are lies, and his lawyer said the statements are "demonstrably false" while suggesting they could trigger perjury exposure.
- Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, publicly backed her son in social media posts and questioned who authorized the tape’s commercial release.
- The dispute features dueling suits, with Kardashian and Jenner’s October 2025 defamation case and Ray J’s November 2025 countersuit alleging breach of a no-discussion settlement and making racketeering accusations, with key motions still pending.
- The tape was released by Vivid Entertainment in 2007, which says it bought the footage from a third party; Kardashian previously sued Vivid and later settled for $5 million.
