RAPPER Ray J is turning up the heat in his ongoing legal battle with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, accusing both women of lying under oath about their alleged involvement in the release of the infamous sex tape.
In comments reported Thursday, the singer and reality star claimed Kim and Kris were directly involved in discussions surrounding the tape’s release, alleging that he met with them and executives from Vivid Entertainment to work out a deal.
Ray J also claimed that he and Kim were each paid for multiple tapes, and made further allegations about Kris Jenner’s role in the process, according to TMZ.
The latest accusations come after Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner reportedly filed sworn declarations denying involvement.
Ray J pushed back hard, saying he wants to clear his name and protect his children from what he says is a false public narrative.
The dispute is part of a larger legal showdown. Kim and Kris sued Ray J for defamation in October, and he later filed a countersuit, claiming they violated a prior settlement agreement that barred public discussion of the tape.
Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, also weighed in publicly, defending her son and questioning who was responsible for the tape’s release if Kim and Kris were not involved.
With both sides making serious claims, the long-running controversy has once again become a major headline in celebrity legal drama.
