Lawsuit Be Damned -- Kim K. Sex Tape to Be Released!

Posted Mar 8th 2007 6:14PM by TMZ Staff

Kim KardashianDespite Kim's pending lawsuit, Vivid Entertainment is going forward with a March 21 release of "Kim Kardashian Superstar" -- the sex video Kim made with then-boyfriend, Ray-J.

Steven Hirsch, Co-Chairman of Vivid, told TMZ, "I met with Kim yesterday and unfortunately, we didn't even come close to reaching an agreement. We will now immediately move forward with the release."

After Kardashian filed suit last month, Vivid announced that they would temporarily halt production. The company feels confident that they have a legal right to distribute the DVD of the video. They paid an unidentified third party $1 million for rights to the tape, which was made three years ago.

Vivid promises a new preview clip will be available next week on www.kimksuperstar.com.

Despite the lawsuit, Hirsch tells TMZ he is still a huge fan of Kim's. "Kim has all of the qualities that we look for in a Vivid Girl. She's both beautiful and well-spoken which is a rare combination. In fact, if she was a Vivid Girl I might have cast her as 'Debbie' in our 'Debbie Does Dallas...Again' TV series which debuts [Friday] night at 11pm on Showtime." Nice plug Steve.

A rep for Kardashian confirms Kim and her manager met briefly with Vivid, but says nothing was resolved. She says Kim will "continue to vigorously defend and protect her legal rights" and adds that her lawsuit against Vivid is still very much active.

61. This bitch is lying through her teeth. First off, #50 & 51 are right on the money. If she wanted to stop this tape from being released, she could do it in a flash (her buddy Par-ass had that parisexposed.com website shut down toot-sweet as an example). They're also right about the injunction vs. lawsuit thing. She's obviously filing the lawsuit (as opposed to actually stopping the tape from being released via an injuction) for publicity purposes. Another clue - this chick does not sing, dance or act and is NOT in show business, yet SHE HAS A MANAGER! WTF? What's he/she managing? Let's think about that one. I'm guessing this chick thinks (ala Par-ass) that this is her entre into show business.

This Kardashian chick has coined a new phrase for those trying to get into the industry by taping yourself fucking & sucking (and getting pissed on) on camera: SLUT-EBRITY.

62. She is one of the hottest women in the world so thank God that this tape was made. I remember seeing her with Paris Hilton in a magazine like 2 years ago and I was thinking man she is smokin. So Put out the f***in movie :)

63. So this is how you get to be famous in America now? You get naked, spread your legs and fuck/blow some guy, and get pissed on while on camera? Thank god I live in another country.

#60's right; she's a SLUT-ebrity.

71. Obviously, this is a publicity stunt to make people aware not only of the tape, but of who Kim Kardashian is (since so many of the previous posters here had no idea of who she wsa before t his story). What isn't being said is how Steven Hirsch played out the lawsuit angle, too, by delaying the tape's release when he obviously had the required paperwork ( U.S. Code section 2257 requires a signed release and proof that the performer is of legal age). This is not the only lawsuit Hirsch has to deal with - he's currently in litigation with Playboy, and his company is being sued by one of its former contract girls, Kira Kener, for $47 million for all kinds of business wrongdoings, and rumor has it that other actresses will be filing suit as well. Imagine: a porn company taking advantage of people? Who'd have thought it was possible?

72. DON'T CARE WHAT CHA SAY, I'D BEND HER OVER.... HAR DE HAR HAR

73. I don't know why any one in this day and age would create a sex tape with a BF or even a husband. We now live in times where we can't trust anyone. I feel sorry for Kim Kardashian. I'm sure she didn't expect this to happen but she should have learned from the Paris Hilton drama! Ray -J seems to forget that he has a sister! There is no way in the world that he would be pleased if someone created as sex tape of Brandy and tried to scandal her name and image by marketing it. Shame on Ray-j instead of focusing on ruining someone else's life he should be focused on supporting his sister who could be facing jail time for vehicular manslaughter!!!!
