Ray J escalates legal war with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner

Ray J is doubling down on claims that his ex-partner, Kim Kardashian, and her mother, Kris Jenner, are engaged in racketeering and fraud.

The singer is even claiming that the mother-daughter duo's conduct is more serious than the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In new legal filings, Ray has accused Kardashian and Jenner of working with Vivid Entertainment in a “criminal enterprise” to mislead the public through what he calls a fake defamation lawsuit, per TMZ.

Ray alleges the pair repeatedly violated the RICO Act and insists he has “no doubt” their actions amount to racketeering.

Ray added that they committed credit card fraud, running up an $850,000 bill in his and his family’s names.

He has also asked a judge to dismiss the Kardashians' defamation case, claiming they used the lawsuit to punish and silence him.

The filings mark the latest turn in a dispute that reignited in October, when Kardashian and Jenner sued Ray for defamation after he claimed he was working with federal authorities on a RICO case against them. 

Ray countersued a month later, alleging they were behind the release of his 2007 controversial tape with Kardashian.

He maintains the tape was consensually filmed and released with signed agreements in the mid-2000s and says later accusations, including claims of sexual assault, revenge pornography, and extortion, were false.

Ray further alleges he was also defrauded into signing a $6 million settlement that the family violated almost immediately.
