KIM KARDASHIAN AND MOM KRIS JENNER SUE EX-BOYFRIEND RAY J FOR DEFAMATION: "HE'S BEEN TRYING TO ATTACH HIMSELF TO US FOR PERSONAL GAIN!"

In a scandalous twist, reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her momager Kris Jenner are taking ex-boyfriend Ray J to court for defamation after he made some explosive claims about the famous family being under federal investigation. The bombshell lawsuit, obtained by The Scholarly Note, reveals that Ray J has been on a mission to tarnish their reputation for over two decades.

The drama began when Ray J appeared on a recent livestream, where he dropped a shocking revelation: "The feds are coming for Kris and Kim." He claimed that he had been working with the federal government to build a RICO case against the Kardashian-Jenner family. But what exactly did he mean by this? Unfortunately, Ray J failed to provide any concrete evidence or details about his claims.

Kardashian, 44, who was involved in a notorious sex tape with the musician, 44, during their brief romance in 2007, and Jenner, 69, claim in the lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail that Ray J has 'engaged in a sustained campaign of harassment and defamation' against them; pictured in September 2023

During the livestream, Ray J also compared his allegations to the high-profile trial of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, whom he has been defending against charges. He even went as far as saying that his ex-girlfriend Kim's involvement in a racketeering conspiracy was "worse than Diddy."

The Kardashian-Jenner lawsuit claims that Ray J has engaged in a "sustained campaign of harassment and defamation" against them for over two decades. The family alleges that Ray J is unable to accept the end of his brief romance with Kim nearly 20 years ago and has been trying to attach himself to their fame for personal gain.

The lawsuit states: "Ray J's public statements are blatantly false. No such federal investigation exists; no law enforcement agency has initiated any criminal proceedings or investigations related to racketeering charges against Ms. Kardashian or Ms. Jenner; and no credible evidence whatsoever supports these inflammatory allegations."

Kim and Kris' lawyer, Alex Spiro, told The Scholarly Note: "Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian have never brought a defamation claim before nor have they been distracted by noise - but this false and serious allegation left no choice." He emphasized that the family has never been involved in any federal investigation or racketeering charges.

Ray J's wild claims come on the heels of his recent interviews, where he discussed his past with Kim Kardashian. In an August chat with Cam Newton, Ray J revealed the lasting impact of their leaked sex tape: "That was probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me... It's the most disgusting, the most illegal, and the most distasteful when you have a daughter."

The family's lawsuit seeks damages for Ray J's alleged defamation and aims to put an end to his malicious claims. But what do you think? Is Ray J trying to get attention or is there some truth behind his allegations? Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy scandal!

Kim Kardashian and Ray J's romance began in 2002, when they met during her divorce from Damon Thomas. Their relationship went public in 2007 after their infamous sex tape was leaked. The pair were together briefly before parting ways.

Since then, Ray J has made several comments about Kim and their past relationship.
