The Kardashians’ fallout with Kim Kardashian’s infamous ex Ray J has finally come to a head as the parties officially sue each other in a decades-old scandal.
The musician—who dated the reality TV star in the early 2000s—has officially filed a lawsuit against Kim and her mother, Kris Jenner, TMZ reported Nov. 13, claiming the mother-daughter duo has been lying about the former couple’s infamous 2003 sex tape for years.
In court documents obtained by the outlet, Ray J doubled down on his long-standing claim that Kris and Kim orchestrated the “leak” of the tape in 2006, and “has presented a false story two decades into the sex tape that Kardashian filmed.” [Ray J] It was leaked against his will.
Ray J’s filing has been a long time coming as he has publicly warned the Kardashians multiple times. He was finally pushed over the edge after Kris and Kim sued him for defamation last month.
The Kardashian-Jenners’ attorney, Alex Sparrow, pushed back on Ray J’s lawsuit in a statement to Page Six: “After realizing he is losing this case and losing his way, this obnoxious spinning distraction isn’t scaring anyone. Ray J will also lose this frivolous case.”
Kim Kardashian and Ray J’s Dating History (2003-2006)
Kim’s history with Ray J goes back to the early 2000s, before she was a popular TV star. The seeds of the scandal were planted in October 2003 on Kim’s 23rd birthday, when, once again, the off-couple went on a getaway to Mexico.
It was at the luxury Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas where the tape was filmed.
Everything was quiet for a while. Kim focused on building her career, appearing on shows like The Simple Life alongside Paris Hilton. Meanwhile, Ray J was finding his footing in the music and entertainment industries.
The couple finally called it quits for good in 2006, but just one year later, everything would change.
Kim Kardashian and Ray J’s Tape Leaked (2007)
In 2007, a tape of Kim and Ray J was leaked online and quickly spread like wildfire, thrusting Kim into the limelight. While she initially sued Vivid Entertainment for distributing the film under the title “Kim Kardashian, Superstar,” she sued for a $5 million settlement just three months later.

Nearly ten years after the scandal, author Ian Halperin claims in his book The Kardashian Family that Kim and Kris carefully planned the whole thing, allegedly inspired by Paris Hilton’s rise to fame.
Things were relatively quiet for a while, until, in 2022, Ray J dropped a tip and announced that he never leaked the tape. Instead, he claimed to the Daily Mail, it was “a deal and a partnership between Kris Jenner and Kim and myself.”
Fast forward to September of this year, Ray J went on a live stream with Chrissin Rock and warned, “Federal Rico I’m gonna leave Chris and Kim’s gonna be crazy.”
“Anybody who’s cool with Kim, they need to tell her now, the feds are coming. There’s nothing I can do about it,” he said infamously, adding, “It’s worse than Daddy.”
Kim and Kris didn’t take the warning lightly and sued Ray J for defamation a week later. This leads us to Ray J’s latest filing, in which he notes that “Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner’s lawsuit isn’t about defamation — it’s about publicity, power and punishment.”
She claims that Kris and Kim, along with her then-husband Kanye West, falsely accused Ray J of sexually assaulting her and “issued revenge porn and extortion.”
When he tried to fight back then, Ray J alleged that he received a $6 million settlement offer because all parties agreed that “no further mention or public reference” of the sex tape would be made on the Kardashians’ reality TV show.
However, Ray J claims that the contract was breached “almost immediately” when Kim, Kris, Y, and Kendall Jenner discussed the tapes on the show.
