Overview
- Ray J’s cross-complaint alleges the 2003 recording was consensual and that in 2006 Kim Kardashian pushed for Kris Jenner to oversee its release and commercial exploitation.
- He claims Kardashian, Jenner and Vivid Entertainment coordinated the 2007 rollout, including a publicity-generating lawsuit he calls bogus, which the family has long denied.
- The filing says a 2023 mediation resulted in a $6 million settlement with a bar on further references to the tape on The Kardashians and a non-disparagement provision.
- Ray J alleges the agreement was breached by season 3 episodes and seeks at least $1 million in damages, fees, interest and relief that would curb or dismiss the defamation case.
- Kardashian and Jenner’s lawyer Alex Spiro labeled the countersuit frivolous and their pending defamation suit maintains no federal RICO investigation exists; no court rulings on the merits have been reported.
