Ray J Sues Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Over 2006 Sex Tape
Imagine two people, Kim and Ray J, who made a private video together a long time ago.
The video got shared with everyone, and they didn't like that it happened.
Ray J is now suing Kim and her mom, Kris, because they told a story about the video that Ray J says isn't true.
He says Kim and Kris are the ones who decided how the video would be shared.
Kim and Kris had already sued Ray J because he said some untrue things about them, like they were being investigated by the government for bad behavior, which they say never happened.
Now, Ray J is suing them back, asking for money because he says their stories hurt him.
It's like a big argument in court about who is telling the truth about what happened with the video years ago.
Ray J is suing Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner over claims related to their infamous 2006 sex tape.
Ray J asserts that Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are peddling a false narrative that the tape was leaked against Kim's will.
He claims Kim insisted Kris Jenner manage the release and commercial exploitation of the tape in 2006.
Ray J also accuses Kim, Kris, and Kanye West of falsely claiming he sexually assaulted Kim and released the tape as revenge porn.
The lawsuit follows an earlier one filed by Kim and Kris against Ray J for defamation, stemming from his alleged false claims about a RICO investigation.
