THE KIM KARDASHIAN PORN VIDEO: THE MOVIE
We tell you the truth behind the most famous 'sex-tape' in history.
Who does not know Kim Kardashian (40)?
She is the most famous celebrity, the queen of the 'millennials' and according to Time magazine in 2015, one of the 100 most influential people on the planet. But what has the leader of the Kardashian 'klan' done to be where she is?
Yes, we know that Kim has a huge ass, a mobile game, a rapper husband, a family reality show, that popularized the 'countoring' and that broke the internet. She also has hundreds of businesses that make her millions and millions of dollars annually, but we are forgetting the beginning, what made Kimberly Noel Kardashian Kim Kardashian West:
The PageSix website has unraveled the real story behind Kim and Ray-J's famous 'sex tape' on their 10th anniversary, and you're going to freak out!
ViVid was the company that was in charge of marketing and distributing the tape in question that showed the couple having sex. Kim, at that time, was the unknown friend of Paris Hilton (40) and girlfriend of Ray-J, little brother of the singer Brandy. The video was shot on Kim K's 23rd birthday, which they both celebrated in Mexico.
The 'sex-tape' arrived at the ViVid offices for commercialization, but they needed the signatures of Kim and Ray-J as protagonists of the film, to which Kim refused ... IN PRINCIPLE. The company called Paris Hilton to convince her friend, while she could hear Kim crying in the background and Paris threatened to send them to her squad of lawyers.
Steven Hirsch, founder of the company, says that "it was difficult to reach an agreement between both parties. Kim did not want the video to come out." They speculated even with the consent of Kris Jenner (65), but Hirsch denies it. "They said that Kim's mother was behind everything, that she was interested in selling the video, but it's a lie, I never spoke to Kris."
Ray J, on his side, did want to sign the deal because he thought it would make him famous in the music industry. Karrine Steffans, the rapper's ex-girlfriend, says that "Ray believed with his heart that the video would make him popular, but I was sick of telling an African American man like him that this did not do any good, but he was stubborn."
Kim ended up accepting the agreement when she was told that she would receive $ 5 million for letting them distribute the film, something that Kim did not expect to happen, so she signed the agreement as soon as she saw that she could get a cut of it. Kirsch says that her ambition outweighed her dignity and that is how both parties said yes to the distribution of the sex video.
Kim began to appear in the press and when the media investigated how connected her family was (that her father was a lawyer in the case of OJ Simpson and her stepfather was the Olympic medalist Bruce Jenner), they decided to offer her the reality that made her even more popular and which launched the sisters we ALL know today to fame: Kourtney Kardashian (42), Khloé Kardashian (36), Kendall Jenner (25) and Kylie Jenner (23).
How did everything evolve to make Kim Kardashian the most famous person in the world? Well, we leave that for another post, which is good for today.
The bottom line is that Ray-J backfired and while he fell into oblivion, Kim got all the fame he craved because she bet her dignity and won, but at what price?
