American singer and television personality Ray J has reignited the long-running controversy surrounding the infamous sex tape involving him and Kim Kardashian, accusing the reality TV star and her mother, Kris Jenner of lying about their involvement in its release.
The explosive claims come as a legal battle continues between the parties over allegations of defamation and breach of a previous agreement related to the tape.
Ray J Claims the Family “Lied About Everything”
In a recent interview, Ray J alleged that both Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner falsely denied involvement in the release of the tape. He said their public statements and legal declarations contradict what he claims actually happened behind the scenes.
According to Ray J, discussions about the tape took place during a meeting that included Kardashian, Jenner and executives from Vivid Entertainment, the company that eventually distributed the footage.
Vivid Entertainment has historically maintained that it obtained the tape from a third party and not directly from the individuals involved.
Allegations About Multiple Recordings
Ray J claims that three tapes were part of the deal — two recorded in Cabo San Lucas and another filmed in Santa Barbara.
He alleged that both he and Kardashian were paid about $400,000 each as part of the agreement tied to the tapes’ release.
Ray J further claimed that during discussions about the Santa Barbara recording, suggestions were allegedly made to make the footage “more explicit,” though Kardashian and Jenner have previously denied orchestrating the release.
Legal Battle Continues
The controversy has resurfaced amid an ongoing legal dispute.
In October, Kardashian and Jenner reportedly filed a defamation lawsuit against Ray J, accusing him of making false statements about their involvement in the tape.
Ray J responded by filing a countersuit, alleging that the family violated a settlement agreement that barred all parties from publicly discussing the tape.
The case has drawn renewed public attention to the scandal, which first surfaced in the mid-2000s and played a significant role in the early rise of Kardashian’s global fame.
Ray J Says the Allegations Affect His Family
Ray J also spoke about the personal impact of the controversy, saying he is concerned about how the narrative could affect his children.
The singer said he wants to clear his name so that his son and daughter do not grow up believing he intentionally harmed someone or was responsible for revenge pornography.
He insists the story that has circulated for years is not accurate and says he plans to continue defending himself.
Support From His Mother
Ray J has also received public support from his mother, Sonja Norwood, who took to social media to defend her son.
Norwood questioned the claims that Kardashian and Jenner had no involvement in the tape’s release, asking who would be responsible if they were not.
Her comments have added further attention to the already high-profile dispute.
A Controversy That Refuses to Fade
Nearly two decades after the tape first emerged, the dispute continues to generate headlines and public debate. With legal proceedings ongoing and both sides maintaining their positions, the long-running controversy appears far from over.
