Kim Kardashian – Sex Tape Scandal History
In 2007, an allegedly leaked sex tape featuring Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Ray J. went viral. And just one year later, the now-famous reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians (KUWTK) premiered. But questions remain unanswered about that sex tape.
And while Kim became history’s wealthiest reality TV star, some fans still want answers to the scandal. For instance, what did Kim’s former stepparent Caitlyn Jenner know about the sex tape release? And did Kris Jenner play a role in the leak?

Because of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians clan’s success, Kim’s infamous sex tape doesn’t get discussed as much. But a new documentary series, House Of Kardashian, has sparked new interest via PopCulture.
Kim has remained open about her longing for fame. And because her mother Kris wanted to help her daughter achieve fame as well as fortune, rumors continue to swirl that Kris arranged for that sex tape to hit the spotlight. But what did her ex spouse Caitlyn Jenner know?
Caitlyn Jenner – Reacts To Kim’s Sex Tape Scandal
While enjoying her own share of the Kardshian and Jenner clan’s wealth and fame, Caitlyn recalled her reaction to the sex tape in the documentary series House of Kardashian. And she remembered thinking, “Whatever’s going on, I don’t know what it is and I’m gonna go to the golf course.”

But Caitlyn then got honest. And she confessed, “To be honest with you, I just stayed out of it.” However, Caitlyn also shared that Kris “never talked to me about it.” And she also did not discuss the sex tape with Kim.
“I don’t know what happened, why it happened,” summed up Caitlyn. And she also addressed the reports that Kris and Kim teamed up to release the sex tape. “I have no idea. I never, ever once had that conversation — or did I want to have that conversation,” added Caitlyn.
Kim Kardashian – Shares Sex Tape Regrets
Because Kim did benefit from a deal that paid her for the sex tape, many thought that she helped with its leak. But in the Keeping Up With the Kardashians series reunion special, she revealed how she felt. And Kim admitted to reunion host Andy Cohen that the tape ranks as her biggest regret.
But the mother of four confessed that the sex tape remains “something that I have to live with for the rest of my life. I try not to have any regrets,” added Kim. “But it’s probably the one thing I wish didn’t exist and if I could erase any of the stupid things that I’ve done in life that’s probably it,” she said.
Meanwhile, Kris took a lie detector test in autumn 2022. And in her appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians matriarch denied that she assisted Kim in releasing her sex tape. But the lie detector ruled that Kris told the truth.
