Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have categorically denied Ray J's accusation that they intentionally made a sex tape public in 2007. In October last year, the reality TV star and her mother filed a defamation lawsuit against the R&B singer, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr., after he alleged that the duo had "repeatedly engaged in a criminal enterprise and racketeering activity." The following month, Ray J countersued Kardashian and Jenner, claiming in legal documents that they were the ones who leaked the controversial pornographic film.
In a declaration submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court this week, Kardashian firmly maintained that she had no involvement in making the sex tape public. "His claim that I had a scheme with my mother and others to release a sex tape, deceive the public, and file a 'fake' lawsuit against the porn company that released it to 'create buzz' is a falsehood," she said, according to documents obtained by Page Six.
Jenner echoed Kardashian's sentiments in her own statement, insisting that she was "heartbroken" over the allegations. "As a mother, the notion that I orchestrated or produced sex tapes involving my daughter, or was in any way involved in the creation or distribution of any sex tapes, is not only entirely untrue but deeply offensive and harmful and has haunted me for decades," the 70-year-old continued. "As a mother, I was absolutely devastated to see my daughter's most intimate and private moments exposed to the world."
A short time later, Ray J claimed in an interview with TMZ that Kardashian and Jenner had "lied" in their declarations and that they had discussions with executives at Vivid Entertainment at one point in the past. A spokesperson for Vivid has always maintained that they purchased the tape from a "third party."
Representatives for Kardashian, Jenner, and Ray J have not yet commented further on these allegations.
