Kris Jenner Claims Ray J Has ‘Publicly Terrorized’ Kim Kardashian for 20 Years
Kris Jenner is escalating her legal battle with Ray J, accusing him of targeting her daughter, Kim Kardashian, in a sustained pattern of public statements that she says have stretched across two decades.In a newly filed declaration in an ongoing defamation case obtained by TMZ, the momager explains why she decided to pursue legal action. According to the filing, the decision came after repeated claims by Ray J that she says are false and damaging. Among them are allegations suggesting that she and Kardashian were under federal investigation—something Jenner directly denies.“I have never been accused or charged with a crime,” Jenner states in the document, adding that comparisons to serious criminal allegations are “a horrific lie.”The filing centers on Jenner’s assertion that Ray J has continued to revisit his past relationship with Kardashian in public forums. The two dated from 2003 to 2006, a period that later became widely discussed following the 2007 release of a private sex tape recorded during their relationship. Kardashian previously took legal action against Vivid Entertainment and reached a reported $5 million settlement, allowing distribution of the footage.Jenner frames the aftermath of that period as ongoing, claiming that each new statement from Ray J generates renewed attention around her daughter. “Over the past two decades, I have had to watch [Ray J] publicly terrorize my daughter by continually talking, and lying, about her in the press,” she says in the filing.She also describes the impact of that attention cycle, stating that it has been “extremely difficult” to watch Kim Kardashian navigate recurring scrutiny tied to the same chapter of her life. Jenner adds that recent remarks attributed to Ray J “go too far” and have caused “significant emotional distress.”Beyond the personal toll, Jenner claims the situation has broader implications. She notes concerns about potential damage to her professional reputation and business ventures, writing that she feels “deeply angered, insulted and shaken by the accusations.”Jenner emphasizes that she did not file a lawsuit lightly. According to the declaration, it marks the first time she has pursued defamation claims, describing Ray J’s statements as “inexcusable and deeply painful.”“I took this step because I could no longer bear [Ray J’s] campaign of harassment against my daughter and my family,” Jenner states, adding that she could not continue “to watch my daughter cry again over the lies.”Kim Kardashian has also submitted her own declaration in the case, citing concerns that the controversy could affect her long-term goal of becoming a lawyer.
