A court has rejected Kim Kardashian's attempt to keep the details of a $6 million settlement with singer and television personality Ray J — born William Ray Norwood Jr. — sealed from public view. The ruling means that information surrounding the legal dispute between the two former partners may become part of the public record.
The legal dispute stems from statements Kardashian made during a 2022 episode of the Hulu reality series The Kardashians, in which she alleged that Ray J had secretly retained a laptop containing additional intimate footage of the two of them. Ray J denied the claims, and the matter escalated into litigation before ultimately being resolved through a financial settlement.
Kardashian had sought a court order to keep the terms and details of the settlement confidential, but the court declined to grant that request. The decision opens the door for the settlement's details to be disclosed, a development that both parties had apparently sought to avoid.
The case draws renewed attention to the long-running legal and public disputes between Kardashian and Ray J, whose history has been a recurring subject in tabloid media for nearly two decades. Neither party's legal representatives had issued a public statement at the time of this report.
