Fox 411: Book alleges the tape released on purpose; Kardashians cry foul Kim Kardashian’s attempt to keep details of her 2003 sex tape settlement with Ray J private is unraveling, as a recent court ruling could expose the $6 million agreement. According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, a California Superior Court judge denied Kardashian's request to seal the confidential settlement agreement on March 30. "Kardashian engaging in sexual activities should be sealed: as the parties recognize, that recording has already been the subject of public disclosure," Judge Steven A. Ellis stated in the documents. "Rather, the issue is whether the settlement agreement that the parties entered into in 2023 (and documents describing certain terms of that settlement agreement) should be placed or maintained under seal."
