Ray J has filed new court papers accusing Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner of spending years promoting a false narrative about his leaked 2007 tape, saying the couple only sued him for defamation to “punish” him.
In recent documents, Ray J claims that Kardashian and Jenner have “peddled the false story” that the tape was leaked without Kardashian’s consent, according to TMZ and Page six.
He maintains that the recording was consensual and filmed in 2003, and that the two discussed releasing it in 2006. According to him, Kardashian allegedly suggested that Jenner should oversee the release.
Ray J alleges that the family is angry because he “no longer wants to play along” with his version of events. He also says Kardashian, Jenner and Kanye West falsely accused him on Hulu. The Kardashians of sexual assault, revenge pornography and extortion.
The filing insists that Ray J lobbied through his lawyer at the time, leading to a deal in which Kardashian would pay him $6 million and stop referencing the tape from the show.
He alleges that they broke that agreement almost immediately when Kardashian, Jenner, West and Kendall Jenner discussed the tape again.
His attorney argues in the filing that Ray J will not allow the family to “weaponize the court system” or ignore their obligations.
Attorney Alex Spiro, who represents Kardashian and Jenner, dismissed Ray J’s filing in a statement to Page sixcalling it a “disjointed distraction” and a “frivolous case.”
Last month, Kardashian and Jenner sued Ray J for defamation after he claimed he was helping federal authorities build an extortion case against them.
His lawsuit denied the existence of any such federal investigation and insisted that no law enforcement agency has opened any cases related to those allegations.
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 accusation.
