Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have issued sworn statements categorically denying allegations that they orchestrated the release of an infamous sex tape, calling the accusations outright fabrications.
According to court documents filed on March 11, 2026, both Kardashian and Jenner submitted formal declarations addressing persistent rumors that the tape's release was a calculated publicity maneuver. The statements represent the first time either has addressed these allegations under oath.
In her declaration, Kardashian directly refuted claims made by Ray J, stating that his assertion she collaborated with her mother and others to release the tape, deceive the public, and file fraudulent legal action against the distribution company was entirely false. She characterized the allegation that the subsequent lawsuit was designed merely to generate publicity as a complete misrepresentation of events.
Jenner's statement proved equally forceful in its denial. She explicitly rejected accusations that she directed the commercial exploitation of the tape, calling such claims absolutely false. The matriarch went further, addressing the emotional toll of the allegations.
In her declaration, Jenner stated she did not compel her daughter to film any such material or determine which content would be released. She described the suggestion that she orchestrated or produced intimate recordings involving her daughter as not only untrue but deeply offensive and harmful, noting the allegations have haunted her for decades. As a mother, she found the accusations particularly distressing.
The declarations emerge from a defamation lawsuit Kardashian and Jenner filed against Ray J in October. Ray J responded with a countersuit, alleging the pair violated a settlement agreement that prohibited any party from publicly discussing the tape.
Jenner has accused Ray J of publicly terrorizing Kardashian through his statements. Kardashian, meanwhile, has argued that the ongoing controversy and allegations damage her professional aspirations, specifically her efforts to pursue a legal career.
The legal battle represents a significant escalation in a controversy that has persisted for years. By filing sworn declarations, both Kardashian and Jenner have placed themselves on record in a manner that carries potential legal consequences if their statements are proven false, underscoring the seriousness with which they are addressing the allegations.
The case continues to unfold in court, with both sides presenting competing narratives about events that occurred years ago but continue to reverberate in the present.
