Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Sue Ray J for Defamation Over RICO Claims

The complaint says his viral remarks falsely implied a federal racketeering probe, reflecting reckless disregard for the truth.

Overview

  • Kardashian and Jenner filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court, retaining attorney Alex Spiro in what they note is their first defamation action.
  • The filing cites two statements: a May TMZ/Tubi documentary where Ray J suggested RICO charges could be ‘appropriate,’ and a Sept. 24 livestream claiming “the feds is coming” and that it would be “worse than Diddy.”
  • The plaintiffs assert no federal investigation exists and say Ray J offered no evidence for what they call “blatantly false” allegations.
  • They seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and accuse Ray J of a years-long campaign to exploit their names for personal gain.
  • Ray J acknowledged the lawsuit on Instagram, saying he would not be silenced, while no law-enforcement agency has confirmed any probe.
