We received an email from Vivid Entertainment Honcho Steve Hirsch dated May 1, 2007 informing Kim that the tape grossed $1,424,636.63, including the majority, $1,255,578.50, coming from DVD sales. Interestingly… the tape was released on March 14, 2007. Kim filed a lawsuit on February 21, 2007, against Vivid, claiming they did not authorize the release of the tape. That case was dismissed — presumably, settled — on April 27, 2007. Just 4 days later, Kim received the email from Vivid about the sales numbers. Ray J said that over the weekend, Kim actually signed from scratch, and even produced his contract with a list of sex movies… saying Kim wrote the inventory list. He also gave a letter from her and said it is exactly the same handwriting. Hirsch has been open about the deal in the past, calling it a “difficult deal” because he says Kim really didn’t want the tape out.
Ray J lashes out at Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, saying they lied about sex tape
Ray J says their deal was that they would each receive $400,000 plus 12.5% of the profits. This evidence is reflected in Hirsch’s email to Kim and Ray J. Ray also claims that Kris Jenner looked at both sex films and chose the one where Kim looked better. BTW … we were told that Kris’s signature is not on the contract. Hirsch also maintained that Kris had no role in the sale of the tape. As for the 2 sex tapes, Ray J says one was shot in Cabo and the other in Santa Barbara. The Santa Barbara tape was never released. Play CBS video content Ray J says he has hundreds of other proofs to support his claim. He broke down in tears after Chris took a lie detector test which he says proved he was not involved in selling the film.
