Kim Kardashian Threatens to Sue Over Alleged Second Sex Tape in 'The Kardashians' Premiere
In her new Hulu series The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian gets her team of lawyers to prevent a possible new sex tape from leaking.
In the premiere of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian declares war after it's revealed that there may be a second sex tape of her and her ex-boyfriend Ray J and someone is prepared to release it.
At the start of the episode, the reality star's son Saint West calls her over to look at a funny picture on his tablet that popped up while playing the popular game Roblox. Kardashian later explains that it was an image of her "cry face" with a message that said "something super inappropriate like 'Kim's new sex tape.'"
"This is supposed to be unreleased footage from my old sex tape," she explained. "The last thing that I want as a mom is for my past to be brought up 20 years later, especially when it's this big party and my whole family is here. This is some real embarrassing shit and I need to deal with it. I will deal with it. I just cannot believe this is happening right now."
While packing for her upcoming Saturday Night Live appearance, Kim sits down with her mother Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian while speaking to Marty Singer, her lawyer, on the phone.
"For 20 years, this has been held over my head of this mistake ... or is it a mistake? It was my boyfriend of years. We go on a trip, we film a video. It's embarrassing for that to be out there but it's not the most scandalous thing and I'm not going to be made to feel that way. I'm just human."
She added, "Had my son been a little bit older and been able to read, I would have been mortified."
Kim then tells Singer to "scare the shit" out of the individuals behind the threat. "I have all the time, all the money, and all of the resources to burn them all to the fucking ground."
In 2018, during an episode of her family's old reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim revealed that she was high on drugs when the sex tape released in 2007 was recorded. “I got married on ecstasy the first time. I took ecstasy and got married. I took it again, I made a sex tape. Like, 'how can something bad happen?'” asks the socialite. "Everybody knows it. Like, my jaw was shaking the whole time [in the video],” she recalled.
While the episode ends without a clear answer about whether there was a sex tape, who had it, and what was in it, a representative for Kim has confirmed that the threat was fake.
"After review, there was nothing sexual unseen, only footage on the plane on the way to Mexico and footage at a club and restaurant on the same trip," the rep told PEOPLE following the episode's release. "Kim remains firm in her belief that there is no new second tape that exists. After 20 years, she truly wishes to move on from this chapter with focus instead on the positive things she continues to do as a mother, entrepreneur and advocate for justice reform."
