Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have lost a lawsuit to keep parts of their 2023 sex tape settlement with Ray J private, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles on Monday and obtained by Page Six.
The reality stars filed a complaint last month claiming that releasing details of Kardashian and Ray J’s settlement over their infamous 2007 sex tape would cause a “substantial injury” to their privacy.
But this week, Judge Stephen A. Ellis ruled in Los Angeles Superior Court that Kardashian and Jenner “have not presented admissible evidence” that the disclosed contract harmed them.
The judge added that their arguments were “too vague, speculative, amorphous, and unsupported to support the requested sealing order.”
Additionally, Ellison ruled that the case was not about “Kardashian sex” because everyone involved knew the sex tape was “already subject to public disclosure.”
Overall, Kardashian and Jenner’s claims were dismissed “with the exception of bank account numbers for certain exhibits,” the document states.
Page Six has reached out to representatives for Kardashian and Ray J for comment.
The latest legal drama between the stars began in October, when Kardashian, 45, and Jenner, 70, sued Ray J., 45, for defamation after he claimed he was cooperating with federal authorities to pursue RICO cases against both women.
In response, the “One Wish” singer sued the mother-daughter duo in November, alleging that they violated the settlement by discussing the sex tape on an episode of the Hulu series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
According to TMZ, Kardashian, Jenner, Ray J, and their mother Sonya Norwood all signed an agreement in which the four of them will resolve all past and future claims, disputes, causes of action, defenses, and alleged losses related to the sex tape.
Ray J reportedly paid $6 million to sign the 2023 settlement.
In his lawsuit against Kardashian and Jenner, Ray J also claimed that they were the ones who released the sex tape, a claim that first made headlines in 2022.
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” alums denied those claims in separate court documents obtained by Page Six in March.
In a statement, Jenner called Ray J’s allegations “extremely offensive and harmful.”
Her mother added: “As a mother I was completely heartbroken, devastated and devastated to see my daughter in a situation like this where her most intimate and private moments were exposed to the world.”
Kardashian and Ray J were famously filmed having sex while on vacation in Mexico in October 2003. This tape was later released by Vivid Entertainment in 2007.
