Ray J Accuses Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner of Racketeering
Ray J has accused the Kardashians and Jenners of racketeering on several occasions.
In September, Ray J went on a live stream and claimed that the federal government is considering opening an investigation into Kardashian and Jenner, which he suggested would be even more shocking than the case of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“The federal RICO I’m about to drop on Kris and Kim is about to be crazy,” Ray J stated on the live stream. “I’m talking about, I’m on the news every day. I’m gonna say a lot of s---. Anybody that is cool with Kim, they need to tell her now— the feds is coming. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

Attorney Alex Spiro Speaks Out
Kim Kardashian's attorney said Ray J's 'false' allegations left the family no other choice.
In light of the lawsuit, Kardashian’s attorney shared a statement about the matter. “Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian have never brought a defamation claim before, nor have they been distracted by noise — but this false and serious allegation left no choice,” Spiro told a news outlet.
Ray J’s live stream in September wasn’t the first time he accused the family of racketeering, either. In May, Tubi released a documentary about Diddy’s case regarding two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. During which, Ray J spoke about Kardashian and her family.
“If you told me that the Kardashians were being charged for racketeering, I might believe it,” he stated.
