Kardashian and Jenner Sue Ray J for Defamation Over Racketeering Claims

Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner have filed a defamation lawsuit against R&B singer Ray J, accusing him of spreading false claims about an impending federal racketeering investigation against them. Ray J alleged on a Twitch livestream and in other public statements that federal authorities were targeting Kardashian and Jenner, claims their attorney has strongly denied, stating no such investigation exists. The lawsuit aims to stop what Kardashian and Jenner's legal team describe as a prolonged campaign of harassment and falsehoods by Ray J, who has a history with Kardashian dating back to their 2007 sex tape. Despite the lawsuit, Ray J continues to assert that Kardashian and Jenner tried to silence him with millions of dollars in hush money, and he accuses Jenner of coercing him into producing another sex tape. Judge Greg Mathis has commented that Kardashian may face challenges in proving defamation due to her public association with Ray J through the sex tape. Sources close to Kardashian emphasize that the lawsuit is not about money but about protecting their reputations and ending Ray J's obsession with their names.
