Ray J is being sued by Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner for defamation.
According to PEOPLE, the suit states that he made claims about them allegedly being under investigation for racketeering.
Alex Spiro filed a lawsuit on behalf of the mother and daughter. This also marks the first time the Kardashian clan has sued for defamation.
“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,” Spiro said in a statement.
The filing stems from Ray J’s comments in TMZ’s Tubi documentary United States vs. Sean Combs.
“If you told me the Kardashians were being charged for racketeering, I might believe it,” Ray J said.
During a livestream, Ray J alleged to “millions of social media followers” that a federal racketeering investigation was launched into the Kardashians.
Spiro described the accusations as the “most malicious defamatory conduct.”
Spiro states that Ray J “has engaged in a sustained campaign of harassment and defamation” against Kardashian and Jenner “for more than two decades.”
“Unable to accept the end of his fleeting relationship with Ms. Kardashian over twenty years ago, Ray J has repeatedly sought to attach himself to Plaintiffs’ names and exploit their prominence for personal gain,” the suit reads.
“Ray J’s public statements are blatantly false,” Spiro added. “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.”
Ray J and Kim Kardashian have been at odds since their split back in 2005. In 2007, a sex tape that the pair made years prior while they were dating was leaked to the public, going viral on social media.
