Kris Humphries Says Kim Kardashian’s Mom Planned Ray J Sex Tape

Kris Humphries claimed that Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian’s mother, conceived the idea of the sex tape and coaxed her daughter into filming it, according to DailyMail.com. TMZ also reported that Kim K filmed the video more than once because her mother said the original shots were not “pretty” enough. The X-rated feature was released in February 2007, four years after the video was made.

The explicit video featuring Kim K and ex-boyfriend Ray J marked the beginning of Kardashian’s career, accumulating so much publicity that E Network awarded the Kardashian family with a reality show. Most families would have faced ridicule after the release of their daughter’s sex tape, but the Kardashians were embraced by society, eventually praised for their good looks, lavish living and bigger than life bank accounts. For each catastrophic move she makes, Kim Kardashian earns big dollars, leaving fans wondering if it’s all just a part of her mother’s money-driven scheme.

Kim Kardashian admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that the taping of her and Ray J’s bump and grind was her claim to fame. But while her moves in the bedroom may have afforded her the spotlight, Kardashian said the video “humiliated” her family.
After ending his relationship with Kim K, Kris Humphries reportedly disclosed exclusive information about the Kardashian family to a new girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj. Sinanaj was informed about Kardashian’s alleged intent behind the sex tape as well as other dirty details. After a nasty break up between her and Humphries, she has threatened to reveal all she knows about the Kardashians, and more specifically, Kim K.
But despite her threats, Kim Kardashian has subpoenaed Sinanaj in her divorce case against Humphries, claiming that their relationship contradicts his self-depiction as a heartbroken husband. In court papers the NBA hooper stated that he was left devastated by his wife’s sudden decision to end their marriage after 72 days.
“My client isn’t going to rule anything out at this point,” said Joe Tacopina, Sinanaj’s lawyer, in an interview with RadarOnline.com. “Including whether or not she would be willing to assist Kim Kardashian in her divorce case.”  If Tacopina agrees to work with Kardashian, the Humphries exes may be a challenging duo for the NBA athlete.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
