15 years later, Kim Kardashian and Ray J’s sex tape is still generating headlines.
After Ray J’s bombshell interview with the DailyMail on Wednesday (May 4), in which he claimed Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner were behind the tape’s “leak,” the Kardashian camp is fighting back.
TMZ sources with direct knowledge of the situation claim Kris Jenner wasn’t directly involved in brokering the deal for Kim and Ray J’s sex tape to be distributed through Vivid Entertainment in 2007.

TMZ‘s report also sheds more light on the numbers behind the infamous sex tape, alleging Kim and Ray J negotiated a $1 million advance and a 49 percent split of the profits.
With the tape generating about $100 million in total sales to date — making it the highest-selling sex tape of all time — that means Ray J and Kim Kardashian have raked in about $49 million in the 15 years since its release.
The sex tape recently became a storyline on Hulu’s The Kardashians where a teary-eyed Kim is shown getting emotional over threats of a second sex tape being leaked as she’s preparing for Saturday Night Live in October.
