Ray J Countersues Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner in Defamation Fight

Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have filed a defamation lawsuit against Ray J, accusing the musician of reviving a decades-old chapter of their past to make allegations they say have no basis in fact. Their filing argues that Ray J’s recent statements misrepresent long-settled events and unfairly target both women in the public sphere.

Ray J has countered with a lawsuit of his own, claiming that he and Kardashian filmed their sex tape consensually in 2003 and discussed releasing it three years later. He further alleges that Kardashian wanted Jenner to oversee the business side of the tape’s distribution. According to Ray J, the Kardashians have promoted a version of events suggesting the tape was leaked without her consent—a narrative he rejects outright.

Kardashian’s attorney, Alex Spiro, pushed back sharply on Ray J’s account, calling it a last-ditch attempt to cloud the case. He described Ray J’s filing as “disjointed rambling” and insisted it would not intimidate their legal team or alter the course of the lawsuit.

Escalating Public Tensions

Just days before Kardashian and Jenner filed their complaint, Ray J hinted at launching an extensive RICO action against the family. During a livestream, he predicted that coverage surrounding the case would intensify and suggested that people close to Kardashian should brace for what he characterized as a major legal shift.

Ray J drew further attention when he referenced the Kardashian family while discussing a documentary tied to prominent entertainment figures. He remarked that if someone accused the Kardashians of racketeering, he “might believe it,” a comment that added new fuel to an already fraught dispute.

As the case moves forward, both sides face heightened scrutiny, and the long-running tensions between Ray J and the Kardashian family appear poised to play out once again—this time in a courtroom.
