Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Deny 'Disgusting' Ray J Sex Tape Leak Claims
Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner have issued forceful declarations denying what they call 'disgusting' accusations from R&B singer Ray J that they intentionally leaked his and Kardashian's infamous sex tape in 2007. The mother-daughter duo filed their statements in Los Angeles as part of an ongoing legal battle that began when they sued Ray J for defamation in October 2025.
Legal Battle Escalates with Countersuit Allegations
The legal dispute intensified when Ray J launched a countersuit alleging that Kardashian and Jenner orchestrated the release of the sex tape, which was filmed in 2003 during their on-again, off-again relationship that lasted from 2003 to 2006. In his legal filings, Ray J claimed the famous family runs what he described as a 'criminal enterprise' and suggested racketeering charges against them 'would be appropriate.'
In declarations obtained by People magazine, both Kardashian and Jenner provided detailed rebuttals to these allegations. Kardashian, 45, stated that Ray J's claims are 'false' and that she has 'incurred expenses to combat his lies and manage my wellbeing and reputation.' She revealed these expenses included undergoing therapy and working with communications, legal, and strategic advisors.
Emotional Declarations from Mother and Daughter
Kardashian specifically addressed Ray J's allegation that she conspired with her mother and others to release the sex tape, defraud the public, and file a 'fake' lawsuit against the porn company that released it to 'create buzz.' She called this narrative 'a lie' in her legal declaration.
Jenner, 70, echoed her daughter's sentiments, calling the claims 'absolutely false' and stating she did not 'ask, make, encourage or assist my daughter Kim in filming any sex tape or decide what tape to release.' The mother of six expressed particular distress about the accusations, saying: '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.'
Background of the Controversial Tape
The sex tape at the center of this legal battle was filmed in 2003 and released in 2007 by adult entertainment company Vivid Entertainment. Its release propelled Kardashian to household name status and became a defining moment in her rise to fame. In their declarations, both women emphasized that the tape's release was against their will and caused significant personal distress.
Jenner added: 'I 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.'
Additional Legal Allegations and Responses
Beyond the sex tape allegations, Kardashian and Jenner also denied Ray J's claims that they engaged in racketeering and committed RICO violations. These allegations first surfaced in the 2025 documentary 'TMZ Presents: United States v. Sean Combs,' where Ray J suggested racketeering charges against the famous family would be appropriate.
In his countersuit filed the following month, 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.'
Responding to these allegations, 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.' The Independent has contacted Ray J's representative for comment on the recent declarations from Kardashian and Jenner.
