Ray J Countersues Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Over Sex Tape Drama

Ray J is fighting back against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner.

Us Weekly confirmed on Thursday, November 13, that Ray J, 44, filed a countersuit against Kardashian, 45, and Jenner, 70, claiming the pair’s October defamation lawsuit is “not about defamation,” but rather is about “publicity, power and punishment.”

Ray J (full name William Ray Norwood Jr.) alleged in his filing that the mother-daughter duo have spent “two decades peddling the false story” that his and Kardashian’s 2003 sex tape was “leaked against her will.”

According to Ray J, he and Kardashian “consensually” filmed themselves having sex while in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. He alleged in the court documents obtained by Us that in 2006 he and Kardashian discussed publicly releasing the tape together.

Ray J claimed that Kardashian “insisted” that Jenner “be in charge of the tape’s release and commercial exploitation” and “watched” the original and their second tape filmed in Santa Barbara, California, before they “collectively decided” to release the Cabo tape.

The musician alleged that from the moment Kardashian and her family landed Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she and Jenner started “lying about their role in the tape’s release.”

Ray J further claimed that Kardashian and Jenner are “furious” that he “no longer wants to play along with their tall tale.”

He accused The Kardashians stars of filing their defamation lawsuit against him — in which the women claimed Ray J’s remarks about their family have led to “substantial and ongoing harm” to their reputations — to “feed their insatiable appetite for attention” and “exact retribution” on him.

Kardashian and Jenner’s attorney Alex Spiro told Us in a statement, “After realizing he is losing the case and losing his way, this disjointed rambling distraction is not intimidating anyone. Ray J will lose this frivolous case too.”

In September, Ray J made headlines when he went viral for claiming during a X livestream that Kardashian and Jenner were involved in a federal criminal racketeering investigation.
