Just when you thought 2025 couldn’t get any messier, Ray J decided to yell “RICO case!” like he’s auditioning for Power and now Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are not having it.
According to reports, the mother and daughter are suing Ray J for defamation after he publicly claimed they’re facing a federal RICO case.
Ray J apparently thought tossing around serious federal charges would spice things up but Kim and Kris have now lawyered up and are ready to legally remind him that defamation is still a thing, even in 2025.
Ray J had stated in the TMZ documentary series United States vs. Sean Combs, which premiered in May, that “racketeering charges against the Kardashians would be appropriate” and “if you told me the Kardashians was being charged for racketeering, I might believe it.”
Now, Kim and Kris are slamming what they say in the suit are “blatantly false” statements from her ex.
“Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian have never brought a defamation claim before nor have they been distracted by noise,” their attorney Alex Spiro told E! News in an Oct. 1 statement, “but this false and serious allegation left no choice.”
In the filing, Kim and Kris said that the “One Wish” singer’s comments in the docuseries preceded subsequent comments he made during a Sept. 24 livestream, including, “The federal RICO I’m about to drop on Kris and Kim is about to be crazy” and “the feds is coming.”
Ray J also allegedly referenced the federal racketeering trial against Sean “Diddy Combs, saying the alleged investigation into the Kardashians would be “worse than Diddy,” per the suit.
Kim and Kris said they believe the allegations levied by Ray J—whose infamous 2002 sex tape with Kim surfaced months before the 2007 premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians—are part of his ongoing strife against the family. They added, according to the documents, he is “unable to accept the end of his fleeting relationship with Ms. Kardashian over 20 years ago.”
So now we wait as this courtroom reality show unfolds. Will Ray J double down? Will Kris and Kim make some reality show out of this lawsuit? One thing’s for sure: when the Kardashians sue, they do it in full glam.
