A Los Angeles judge has dismissed singer Ray J's lawsuit against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, which sought to void a 2023 settlement agreement. The ruling, issued in March 2026, means the terms of the confidential settlement will remain sealed and not disclosed to the public.
Ray J, whose real name is William Norwood Jr., had filed the suit alleging fraud and seeking to nullify the previous agreement. The dispute was related to the long-running narrative about a 2007 sex tape featuring Ray J and Kim Kardashian, which was central to the early fame of the Kardashian family.
The judge found Ray J's claims to be without merit, effectively upholding the validity of the 2023 settlement. Legal experts note that the dismissal reinforces the principle that private settlement agreements, especially those involving non-disclosure provisions, are binding and difficult to overturn.
Representatives for the Kardashians have not issued a public statement following the dismissal. The case closure appears to end this latest legal chapter in a story that has persisted in pop culture for nearly two decades.
