*Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have taken legal action against Ray J, accusing him of defamation for alleging they are under federal investigation for racketeering.

According to PEOPLE, the lawsuit was brought forward by attorney Alex Spiro, who stressed the gravity of the situation. “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.”

According to the complaint, Ray J made defamatory remarks on two occasions. In the Tubi documentary United States vs. Sean Combs, he said, “If you told me the Kardashians was being charged for racketeering, I might believe it.” Later, during a livestream on September 24, he allegedly claimed that federal prosecutors were pursuing racketeering charges against the Kardashians. Spiro characterized these remarks as the “most malicious defamatory conduct.”
