Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Deny Sex Tape Conspiracy Under Oath as Ray J Accuses Them of Perjury
Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner filed sworn declarations in Los Angeles Superior Court this week denying that they conspired to release the 2007 sex tape, and Ray J has fired back, accusing them of perjury. Ray J said the family staged the tape’s release and has described the new denials as fabrications.
Kardashian and Jenner File Oaths Denying Conspiracy
In documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Kardashian called Ray J’s claim that she and her mother conspired to release the footage as a publicity stunt “a lie, ” while Jenner described the allegation that she was in charge of its “commercial exploitation” as “absolutely false. ” Jenner added that she was “heartbroken and devastated as a mother” when the tape became public. The declarations are part of an escalating legal dispute over the 2007 tape.
Ray J’s Response and Perjury Claims
Ray J, whose legal name is William Ray Norwood Jr., has pushed back sharply. He said he personally sat in a room with Kardashian, Jenner and executives from distributor Vivid Entertainment to negotiate a deal for three separate tapes, and he alleged that Jenner encouraged making one of the recordings “dirtier. ” His attorney, Howard King, described the Kardashians’ sworn denials as “demonstrably false” and warned that sworn false statements could expose Kardashian to criminal perjury prosecution.
How This Fits Into Ongoing Litigation and Stakes Ahead
The tensions follow the defamation lawsuit Kardashian and Jenner filed last October after Ray J publicly compared the family to racketeers. Ray J filed a countersuit alleging breach of a settlement agreement that barred any party from discussing the tape. A ruling on his dismissal motion is expected soon, and the new sworn statements and the perjury accusations add a heightened legal dimension to the dispute.
The matter also carries personal urgency for Ray J, who has been battling serious health issues and said his doctors have given him months to live. He has said his motivation for the suits is his children and that he does not want them growing up believing he maliciously leaked the tape.
With sworn declarations on record and perjury claims lodged, the next legal moves will determine whether the case narrows to written testimony or proceeds to broader discovery and courtroom fights. A ruling on dismissal is the immediate procedural milestone to watch.
