Ray J has filed new court papers accusing Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner of spending years promoting a false narrative about their leaked 2007 tape, saying the pair only sued him for defamation to “punish” him.
In recent documents, Ray J alleges that Kardashian and Jenner “forged the false story” that the tape was leaked without Kardashian’s consent, per TMZ and Page six.
He maintains that the footage was consensual and filmed in 2003, and that the two discussed releasing it in 2006. According to him, Kardashian allegedly suggested that Jenner oversee the release.
Ray J claims the family is angry that he “no longer wants to play along” with their version of events. He also says Kardashian, Jenner and Kanye West falsely accused him on Hulu’s The Kardashians sexual assault, revenge pornography and extortion.
The filing insists that Ray J pushed back through his lawyer at the time, leading to a settlement agreement in which Kardashian would pay him $6 million and stop referencing the tape on the show.
He claims they broke that deal almost immediately when Kardashian, Jenner, West and Kendall Jenner discussed the tape again.
His lawyer claims in the suit that Ray J will not let the family “weaponize the legal system” or ignore their obligations.
Attorney Alex Spiro, who represents Kardashian and Jenner, denied Ray J’s application in a statement to Page sixcalling it an “incoherent floating distraction” and a “frivolous matter.”
Last month, Kardashian and Jenner sued Ray J for defamation after he claimed he helped federal authorities build a racketeering case against them.
Their lawsuit denied the existence of such a federal investigation and insisted that no law enforcement agencies have opened any case related to these charges.
Spiro said the mother-daughter duo had never filed a defamation claim before, but were left with “no choice” and had to respond to Ray J’s claim.
