On Saturday night, the younger brother of Brandy Norwood released a sharing numerous Instagram DMs he exchanged with Kim, 41, in April.
Doubling down: Ray J uploaded a series of videos on his Instagram earlier on Saturday doubling down on claims that Kris Jenner was involved in releasing his and Kim Kardashian’s sex tape in 2007
‚You know what we did! Your mom controlled this whole sex tape deal with Joe Francis and [Vivid CEO] Steve Hirsch – it was her idea to put out the tape with Vivid. All I did was agree,‘ Ray wrote on April 14.
‚Now you want to make it seem like I’m doing it again without your control. All those fake tears. Your fans trusting you to be honest and sincere but it’s all fake for the cameras. I was playing my part until you started doing all of this!
‚What are you trying to ruin me when you know I was just a player in this! You have to stop believing you own lies! I have to let the world know the real [because] you’ve taken it too far now. Somebody needs to explain the play you are doing to me ASAP or I will have no choice but to protect my brand and family and expose real.‘
Kim replied that she didn’t say a single bad thing about him in the episode, which depicted the „new footage“ that was allegedly going to be leaked by Ray’s manager Wack 100.
‚My soul hurts‘: On Saturday night, the younger brother of Brandy Norwood released a 44-minute video sharing numerous Instagram DMs he exchanged with the 41-year-old SKIMS CEO in April
‚The show filmed in real time the day in hell that I had with my lawyers when your manager threatened to release another tape that doesn’t exist – and my son who was five years old at the time seeing an ad with my cry face emoji that said „Kim’s new sex tape“ as click bate in Roblox,‘ Kardashian wrote.
‚It was upsetting to have to deal with and I am sure can understand how that feels. My „burn them to the ground“ comment was a generalization to anyone threatening to hold this over my head 20 years later. We are both parents now with young kids and careers and I’m sure you want to move on from this just like I do. But your manager is the person who brought this all up out of nowhere and I have a right to share how it affected me.
‚Next week’s episode airs where Kanye brings me the computer and he says he got back from you, which shows you in a positive light for giving that to him. Thank you for doing that. Just spoke with my team. We will get something out tomorrow morning to clarify that this was a joke and that you would never gave done something like this. Hope this helps and I’m sorry [too].‘
The College Hill: Celebrity Edition star replied that he felt like ‚everyone wins but me‘ because he’s the ‚bad guy every time.‘
‚I’m tired of playing that role as the villain. I did it for us in the beginning but now without your support it f***s me over bad,‘ he wrote.
The Kardashians star replied: ‚Wow I had no idea that that was supposed to be private. I was filming my normal days and that just happened and I had no clue and I actually thought you and Wack were working together [because] on his [Instagram] it says he’s your manager in his bio.
‚So this entire time I thought [you were] working together and I was so confused at the statement you put out saying [you had] nothing to do with it. I just think that story above is powerful and [shows] that we are working together for the future of our children and families to get this out of the Internet.‘
Ray responded: ‚But are we really trying to do it? Steve won’t allow it – so we can pretend to do that but it still probably won’t happen. Plus, won’t people say, „Why is Ray J trying to get it off the Internet when I’m the one who put it out in their minds? Doesn’t it get extremely confusing?‘
Kim continued: ‚Because you grew up and have a family and people change their minds. Let my call the team one sec. I just wanted to be clear with you if you wanted it out there that we spoke. I don’t want to create any drama at home. But the story that we will work together to speak to Vivid to get it pulled off the air is a bigger story and [shows] unity and that there’s no more bad blood or drama.‘
Ray emphasized that he hadn’t spoken to Kardashian on the phone or seen her in 12-15 years and wished they could be speaking in person.
