Ray J<\/a> has filed a response to their lawsuit by submitting a cross-complaint in which he alleged Kim, 45, and 70-year-old Kris had violated the provisions of a $6 million settlement agreement they reached in 2023 over the sex tape, TMZ reports.<\/p>\nRay’s legal team branded the allegations in The Kardashians stars’ lawsuit a “public relations charade” filled with “malicious falsehoods” and insisted it is \u201cnot about defamation\u201d but \u201cabout publicity, power and punishment.\u201d <\/p>\n
The One Wish hitmaker alleged the pair have taken legal action \u201cto feed their insatiable appetite for attention, garner support for their various media and marketing enterprises, and exact retribution.<\/p>\n
\nThe documents added: \u201cThey are furious that Norwood no longer wants to play along with their tall tale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRay has sought for their lawsuit to be dismissed and is also seeking $1 million in damages plus interest, legal fees and “further relief” that may be seen as “just and proper”, arguing damage to his business prospects and the terms of the alleged agreement he had made with Kris and her daughter.<\/p>\n
\nThe Sexy Can I singer claimed in the lawsuit that he and Kim had consensually recorded their sex tape in 2003 and began discussing releasing it publicly in 2006, and alleged the All’s Fair actress insisted her momager oversee its release.<\/p>\n
\nHe said the trio all signed licensing agreements with Vivid Entertainment, the adult entertainment company who released the video in 2007 but alleged \u201cKardashian, Jenner, and Vivid agreed that Kardashian would file a bogus lawsuit\u201d claiming she didn\u2019t \u201cintend, authorize or consent\u201d to its distribution \u201cto create buzz ahead of the tape\u2019s release.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nRay insisted the claims against Vivid “were lies” and accused the pair of leaking news of a fake $5 million settlement to TMZ.<\/p>\n
\nThe lawsuit added: \u201cFor the next two decades, Kardashian took every opportunity to draw attention to herself and painstakingly weave a false \u2018victim\u2019 narrative around the Sex Tape.”<\/p>\n
\nHe further claimed the Skims founder and her mother \u201cmanufactured a fresh fake Sex Tape \u2018controversy\u2019\u201d to \u201cgenerate publicity\u201d for the premiere of their Hulu series The Kardashians in 2022. <\/p>\n
\nThe complaint alleged Kim said on the show that Ray had given their leaked sex tape to his “former manager” even though “she knows he never possessed” it and that he had “sexually assaulted” her while she slept.<\/p>\n
\nAnd he claimed Kim, Kris, Kendall Jenner, and Kanye West – who was previously married to the reality star – had made statements on the programme which accused him of extorting them for a laptop supposedly containing another unreleased sex tape.<\/p>\n
\nRay alleged he had messaged Kim on Instagram at the time to “confront her” about the comments on the show.<\/p>\n
\nThe legal documents stated: \u201cKardashian begged him to go along with yet another false \u2018story’ that she wanted to run on the show: that they were working with Vivid to remove the Sex Tape from the internet.”<\/p>\n
\nBut he “declined” and subsequently sued Kris and Kim, reaching a settlement in April 2023 in which they and their production company allegedly agreed to pay him $6 million and pledged “that no further mention or public reference\u2019 to the sex tape is made on The Kardashians, and any further disparagement entitles Norwood to $1 million in liquidated damages.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHowever, Ray insisted the agreement was broken during the show’s third season with comments on the show, just a month after the settlement was reached.<\/p>\n
\nThe reality stars allegedly then sought to modify the agreement to release them from liability for \u201c\u2018public statements\u2019 that \u2018were made but not publicised until after the Effective Date.”<\/p>\n
\nIn their defamation lawsuit, Kim and Kris took action over comments Ray made on TMZ in May and on Twitch in September, but he argued he didn’t know his “off-camera” remark on the latter was being life-streamed, while his words to the news outlet were just an “aside”.<\/p>\n
\nHe insisted that if his statements “constitute a breach”, they were not material and should be “excused” by Kim and Kris’ alleged “material breaches”.<\/p>\n
\nKim and Kris’ legal team have branded the countersuit “frivolous”.<\/p>\n
\nAlex Spiro told People magazine: \u201cAfter realising 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.”<\/p>\n
