Kim Kardashian has been a lot in the news lately. Whether it is about her ongoing divorce with estranged husband Kanye West or her relationship with Pete Davidson, Kim has been making headlines these days. And once again, she has got the centre stage. But this time around, it is neither about Kanye nor Pete. In fact, it has a lot to do with her infamous sex tape with singer-actor Ray J that surfaced in the early 2000s.

Kevin Blatt further claimed that it was a childhood friend of his who had informed him of the sex tape’s existence. The 52-year-old friend was working with Adult Video News at the time. He further claimed that he was unaware of who Ray J was, however, he decided upon meeting him because he was the brother of Brandy Melville, R&B singer Brandy Melville. Ray J and Blatt then met at a local Cheesecake Factory over lunch to learn more about the video’s contents, claimed the broker.

Kevin Blatt further claimed that Ray J told him about having captured a video of his sexual encounter with a woman, whom neither Blatt nor his friend who accompanied him for the meeting, were aware of. The woman tuned out to be Kim Kardashian, who was a relatively unknown fashion stylist back then and was close friends with Paris Hilton. It was Blatt who had felicitated ‘one Night in Paris’, the sex tape of Paris Hilton with Rick Salomon, ‘One Night In Paris’.

He further claimed that Ray J told him Kim Kardashian wanted to release the tape for free. However, Kevin Blatt advised against it to Ray J. "Ray J told me, 'She wants to be bigger than Paris,’” Blatt claimed. "I told him, ‘Ray J, you cannot let her release it for free - don’t let her do that.” Blatt also claimed that even though there is no clarity as to how much must have been made through the sex tape, Kim Kardashian alone must have made at least $20 million from it.
