Ray J

Ray J, Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend, is claiming that Kardashian and Kris Jenner partnered with him to leak their 2007 sex tape, and he never had a copy.

The singer also provided screenshots from his Instagram DMs with Kardashian where he asked her to stop “TRYING TO RUIN ME” in a lengthy series of messages amid the episodes airing. “I will not let them do this to me anymore.” Kardashian’s estranged husband Kanye West claimed that he privately met her ex and collected the remaining laptop and equipment. Kardashian, however, said it was just a video of them eating at a restaurant. “She’s always had all the tapes in a Nike shoebox under her bed.” “I’ve never leaked anything.

After finding himself at the center of a storyline on 'The Kardashians,' Ray J gave a tell-all interview, claiming that Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner ...

In the interview, Ray J insisted that he “never leaked a sex tape in my life,” adding that the entire thing was “a deal and a partnership between Kris Jenner and Kim and me.” To hear Ray J tell it, he was the mastermind who first floated the idea of releasing the sex tape to help boost Kim’s career, having been inspired by Kim’s friend, Paris Hilton. He claimed that once Kim was on board, they enlisted Kris to make the deal happen. In her alleged response, Kim doesn’t address his claims about her and Kris brokering the deal to release the sex tape, which Ray J said is an admission of guilt. “From the beginning of us putting this sex tape out, this has been the biggest lie in the industry in the history of entertainment.” He clarified that his comment on Hollywood Unlocked calling the clip from The Kardashians “a lie” was not in reference to his meeting with Ye, but to the Kardashians in general. “We will get something out tomorrow morning to clarify that this was a joke and that you would have never done something like this,” she wrote. Ray J also capitalized on the scandal, releasing two songs about Kim — the infamous “I Hit It First” in 2013, and “Famous” in 2016. “I want to shield them from as much as I can, and if I have the power to, or if Kanye has the power to, like, that is the most important thing to me.” She also said that she watched the video and was relieved to find out that it was “nothing sexual, nothing weird.” Founder of Vivid Entertainment, Steven Hirsch, told Page Six in 2017 that the deal was not brokered by Kim or Kris, explicitly noting that, when the footage was first presented to him, “Kim was not involved in it.” According to Page Six, Kim and Ray J both had to sign off on a deal before the tape could be released, and were reportedly paid around $5 million, but Hirsh maintained that Kim fought very hard against it. The sex tape made headlines again after being featured prominently in the first few episodes of The Kardashians, the new family reality show on Hulu. And now Ray J is speaking out, claiming that Kim and her mother, Kris Jenner, orchestrated the tape’s original release and calling BS on the Kardashians storyline. “I know Kanye did this for me, but he also did this for my kids,” she said. Kim and Ray J dated from 2002-2006, and reportedly filmed the sex tape during a trip to Cabo in 2004. The Kardashians premiered in April and immediately made the sex tape a storyline.

Ray J speaks out on Hulu star Kim Kardashian and her ex Kanye West's comments about the infamous sex tape.

The Kardashian-Jenners have been accused a number of times in the past of putting out only a controlled, tiny piece of their actual selves and lives, especially concerning what is recycled and evidently photoshopped onto their social media profiles. What he does want is his version of the story finally out there: What he did apparently have and what Kanye West got from him during their reported hand-off was a device with old intimate photos and “mini-videos.”

Ray J has seemingly confirmed the existence of a second sex tape with Kim Kardashian, but he's also said he never personally possessed a copy.

... I don't have a plan to ruin them," he said to the Daily Mail. "When I put on the comments that all of this is a lie, I didn't mean Kanye coming to meet with me about some second sex tape. Ray also provided a series of Instagram DMs the two exchanged over Instagram, in which he asserted her “sticking a dildo in my ass” comment made him “look like a rapist and dirty perv.” Ray J said the reality of the situation is that he had a laptop that contained intimate photos from their relationship, and he met with Kanye at a private terminal of LAX to talk about the situation. As a result of his involvement in the tape, he said he lost the opportunity to do Dancing with the Stars and America’s Got Talent. Ray J told the Daily Mail he pitched Kim the idea of releasing the tape, and that she and Jenner allegedly ran with it. The sex tape surfaced in 2007, and at the time Kim sued the company behind it for invasion of privacy.

Ray J has accused Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, of orchestrating the tape's original release.

"Clearly, they both are aware of the taping as they are mugging for the camera. That's just the way that works ... Steve Hirsch would never have gone against that if he didn't have signatures." However, she dropped the suit in April and settled for $5 million. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. "I've never leaked anything. In reaction to claims in the latest episode of The Kardashians about another Ray J and Kim Kardashian sex tape leak, Ray J has claimed that the original sex tape was leaked by Kardashian herself, along with her mother, Kris Jenner.

Ray J called his and Kim's leaked sex tape the “biggest lie in the industry in the history of entertainment.”

We will get something out tomorrow morning to clarify that this was a joke and that you would have never done something like this. For the remainder of my life, I'm going to live in my truth and not in the lie that's been created by Kris Jenner and Kim,” he explained to the publication. The laptop also contained emails that proved they’d spoken over the years following their split in 2006. You have to stop believing your own lies!” Elsewhere in Ray J’s DMs he said: “You know what we did! Speaking to the Los Angeles Times last year, Kim admitted that she knew producers would “love” her willingness to speak openly about the infamous video. “I'm sure she has bigger beds now and better boxes. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. “I've never leaked anything. Someone's gonna ask me, so I might as well just go ahead and do it.’” I don't know.” “Sometimes I feel like, 'OK, I know I should probably deal and get this over with.

That’s just how I feel – nothing matters but the truth.’ ‘I was thinking that he was ready to listen and understand what I’ve been trying to say. ‘I thought that we had a good moment at that one time.

It’s about this is my truth and protecting my family. I can’t keep being blackballed like this.’ There’s really no problem with Ray J". ‘It was everything I felt could have been looked at negatively.
