Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner File Defamation Lawsuit Against Ray J Over False Allegations

On October 1, 2025, Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, filed a defamation lawsuit against Ray J, alleging that he falsely claimed they were under federal investigation for racketeering.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Ray J of making baseless allegations during a documentary and a livestream, which the plaintiffs argue were intended to damage their reputations.

The complaint highlights two key incidents: comments Ray J made in a TMZ documentary and statements during a September 24 livestream accusing the Kardashians of being subjects in a federal criminal probe.

The lawsuit asserts that these claims were presented as facts, without any credible evidence or verification from law enforcement.

Represented by attorney Alex Spiro, Kardashian and Jenner are seeking both compensatory and punitive damages.

The lawsuit describes Ray J’s actions as part of a “sustained campaign of harassment and defamation” stemming from his inability to move on from a relationship with Kardashian that ended over 20 years ago.

The plaintiffs argue that Ray J has repeatedly sought to exploit their prominence for personal gain, despite the end of their relationship.

This legal action marks the first time Kardashian and Jenner have pursued such a claim publicly.

The case has attracted significant media attention, with many observers noting the high-profile nature of the individuals involved and the serious nature of the allegations.

Ray J has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.

The outcome of the case could have significant implications for both parties, potentially affecting their public images and future endeavors.
