Kim Kardashian Kris Jenner File Defamation Suit Against Ray J Over RICO Claims

Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have filed a defamation lawsuit against Ray J, accusing him of falsely claiming they are subjects of a federal criminal racketeering (RICO) investigation. Ray J, who dated Kardashian in the early 2000s and whose leaked sex tape with her contributed to her rise to fame, has made repeated allegations on livestreams and a documentary, suggesting a federal case was underway and that it would be "worse than Diddy’s." The lawsuit states these claims are baseless, damaging to their reputations, and part of Ray J's ongoing attempts over two decades to exploit their fame for personal gain. Kardashian and Jenner’s attorney emphasized this is their first defamation suit, highlighting the seriousness of these false accusations and their harm to the family’s personal and professional lives. The suit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, denouncing Ray J’s conduct as an abuse of social media to spread harmful lies. Ray J has also been criticized for fabricating other claims about celebrities, further undermining his credibility.
