Overview
- Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner filed a 13-page lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Oct. 1, alleging Ray J falsely claimed they were targets of a federal racketeering probe.
- The suit cites two incidents: a May TMZ/Tubi documentary remark suggesting racketeering charges “might” fit and a Sept. 24 livestream asserting “the feds is coming” and that it would be “worse than Diddy.”
- The filing states no federal investigation exists and argues Ray J presented his statements as facts without verification, invoking the public-figure “actual malice” standard.
- Represented by attorneys Alex Spiro and Michael Lifrak, the plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and also bring a false-light claim.
- The complaint frames the comments as part of a years-long pattern tied to Ray J’s past relationship with Kim, and Ray J acknowledged the suit on Instagram, saying he would not be silenced.
