Ray J Accuses Kris Jenner of Orchestrating the Release of the Infamous Tape
Rapper Ray J has made explosive claims accusing Kris Jenner, the mother of Kim Kardashian, of orchestrating the release of the infamous tape that propelled the Kardashian family into the public eye 15 years ago. Despite Kris Jenner denying these allegations, Ray J publicly insisted that she played a key role in managing the release of the explicit tape between him and Kim Kardashian.
The Allegations: Kris Jenner’s Role in the Tape’s Release
In a recent Instagram post, Ray J claimed that Kris Jenner, in her role as Kim’s manager, worked directly with a film company to arrange the tape’s release. According to Ray J, Kim Kardashian was fully aware of the process and participated in the agreements, resulting in each party receiving $400,000 and 12.5% of the profits. To back his accusations, Ray J provided what he said was Kim Kardashian’s handwriting on the contract with the adult film company.
The tape, which was recorded in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Santa Barbara, California, was allegedly reviewed by Kris Jenner, who selected the version in which Kim Kardashian appeared the best. Ray J further alleged that the release of the tape was meticulously planned, with Kris and Kim treating it as a business venture.
The Impact on the Kardashian Family’s Fame
The release of the tape significantly boosted the Kardashian family’s fame, contributing to the success of the reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In a May interview, Ray J went even further, accusing Kim Kardashian of managing the tape “like an album release” and claiming that she kept the only copy stored under her bed in a Nike shoebox.
Kris Jenner’s Denial
Kris Jenner has completely denied these accusations. In a television appearance, she insisted she had no involvement in the release of the tape and even took a lie detector test on-air to prove her innocence. Additionally, the head of the film company that purchased the tape stated that he had never met or worked with Kris Jenner, reinforcing her denial of the claims.
Kim Kardashian’s Legal Actions
Previously, Kim Kardashian sued the film company for violating her privacy, asserting that she had never consented to the release of the tape. The lawsuit was ultimately settled when both parties reached an agreement, and the tape was taken down just a few months after its initial release.
