A PAST agreement between Kim Kardashian and Ray J is back in the spotlight after reports revealed the former couple quietly reached a confidential settlement in 2023 over their long-discussed 2007 sex tape.
According to reports, the deal was signed by Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, along with Ray J and his mother, Sonja Norwood.
The settlement reportedly resolved past and future claims tied to the tape and included a non-disparagement clause preventing the parties from speaking negatively about one another.
The reported agreement has become a key point in the stars’ ongoing legal dispute.
In November 2025, Ray J sued Kardashian and Jenner, alleging they violated the settlement by discussing the tape on Hulu’s “The Kardashians.”
Kardashian and Jenner have pushed back strongly in court filings, calling Ray J’s accusations false and harmful.
Kris Jenner said the claims were deeply upsetting, while Kardashian said she has spent significant time and money addressing the fallout, including therapy and professional support.
The legal back-and-forth follows an earlier defamation suit filed by Kardashian and Jenner against Ray J after his public claims about a supposed federal case involving the family. Court documents reportedly stated that no such investigation exists.
Kim Kardashian and Ray J dated on and off from 2003 to 2006, and the tape surfaced publicly in 2007 after their breakup.
With both sides continuing to dispute what happened behind the scenes, the resurfaced settlement adds another chapter to one of pop culture’s longest-running celebrity controversies.
