Kim Kardashian and singer Ray J had previously been in a relationship, during which an intimate recording was made. When Vivid Entertainment moved to distribute that material in 2007, Kardashian filed suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Her complaint alleged violations of privacy and publicity rights. In a statement reported at the time, Kardashian said the recording had been intended to remain private. Vivid maintained that it had the legal right to distribute it.
The lawsuit was resolved later that spring. Contemporary reporting described a financial arrangement, but published estimates of the amount differed.
