Ray J sues Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner
As per the article in The Sun, Ray J, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr., filed a case on Thursday against the Kardashians for the comments they made about him. “(Kim and Kris) spent two decades peddling the false story that the sex tape … was leaked against her will,” he asserts in the court documents.
He goes further to claim that in 2006, it was Kardashian who “insisted that Kris be in charge of the release and commercial exploitation of the film.”
Ray J also accused Kim, Kris, and Kim’s ex-husband, Kanye West, of falsely accusing him of sexually assaulting Kim while she was asleep and releasing the sex tape as revenge porn. He goes to the extent of claiming that when he initiated legal proceedings against the family, they chose to settle the matter out of court by paying him $6 million. In his lawsuit, the singer has claimed he is entitled to $1 million in damages.

Lawsuit against Ray J by Kim Kardashian
In October this year, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, through their attorneys, filed a case against Ray J for ‘defamation’ and ‘false light publicity’. The mother-daughter duo argued that the One Wish singer made false claims about them being scrutinized in an investigation by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO), the Los Angeles Times reported.
These comments, allegedly, came in a documentary about disgraced rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently in prison for transportation to engage in prostitution.
“Ray J’s public statements are blatantly false. No such federal investigation exists; no law enforcement agency has initiated any criminal proceedings or investigations related to racketeering charges against Ms. Kardashian or Ms. Jenner; and no credible evidence whatsoever supports these inflammatory allegations,” the lawsuit filed by Kim and Kris’ attorneys says.
Ray J did not just make such comments in the documentary but repeated them with greater assertion in a Twitch livestream. The 44-year-old went to the extent of claiming that he has more embarrassing information about Kim and Kris regarding the allegations.
Whether Ray J’s lawsuit intensifies the war of words between him and the Kardashians remains to be seen.
