Overview
- Declarations filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court state Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner did not plan, direct, or profit from releasing the 2007 video recorded in 2003.
- Both women also rejected claims of racketeering and a supposed “fake” lawsuit tied to the tape’s release, with Jenner calling the accusations deeply offensive and harmful.
- Ray J and his lawyer labeled the sworn denials false and raised possible perjury, repeating allegations of meetings with Vivid executives, multiple recordings, and payments of roughly $400,000 each, which Kardashian and Jenner dispute.
- Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, publicly backed her son on social media and questioned who authorized the release if not Kardashian or Jenner.
- The filings land in ongoing litigation that includes a 2025 defamation suit by Kardashian and Jenner, Ray J’s countersuit over an alleged settlement barring public discussion, and pending motions that could determine what proceeds to trial.
