Reality TV mogul Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have launched a fiery counter-attack against singer Ray J, her former partner, following his latest legal filing which claims they were all involved in the release of her infamous sex tape.
The Legal Battle Reignites
This new lawsuit comes just weeks after a previous defamation case was filed by the 44-year-old singer. In the recent legal documents, Ray J alleges that he and Kim Kardashian consensually recorded the intimate video back in 2003. He further claims that years later, they discussed its release, with Kim reportedly insisting that her mother, Kris Jenner, should be in charge of its distribution and commercial exploitation in 2006.
A Scathing Rebuttal
The response from the Kardashian-Jenner camp was swift and brutal. Their lawyer, Alex Spiro, issued a sharp statement to Daily Mail, dismissing the legal action as a desperate manoeuvre. 'After realizing he is losing the case and losing his way, this disjointed rambling distraction is not intimidating anyone,' Spiro declared. He confidently added, 'Ray J will lose this frivolous case too.'
The case revisits the scandal that first propelled Kim Kardashian into the global spotlight. The sex tape, which was leaked in 2006, has been a contentious subject for nearly two decades. Ray J's new allegations directly challenge the long-held narrative that its release was an unauthorized leak, suggesting instead a coordinated effort involving the SKIMS founder, then 45, and her 70-year-old 'momager'.
What Happens Next?
This legal development ensures that the controversial events of 2006 will be thrust back into the public eye. With both sides digging in their heels, a protracted and public court battle seems inevitable. The outcome could potentially reshape the legacy of the tape that fundamentally altered the trajectory of Kim Kardashian's career and modern celebrity culture.
