Kim Drops Sex Tape Lawsuit, Gets a Big Load of Cash

Kim KardashianTMZ has learned that Kim Kardashian has dropped her lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment over the release of her sex tape with former BF, R&B artist Ray J ... who has now moved on to Whitney Houston.

The tape, which Vivid paid a million dollars for, is now a bestseller in adult video stores and online markets. Vivid's co-chairman tells TMZ, "We are pleased that Kim has dropped her legal action against us, we met with her several times and finally reached a financial arrangement that we both feel is fair." Sounds like they're bosom buddies now.

According to UsMagazine.com Kardashian will receive close to $5 million in the settlement.

But this is a limited time offer folks, as sources tell us Vivid will permanently cease distribution of the tape at the end of May.

I'd be VERY surprised if she got anything close to a million, let alone 5. The tape wasn't that popular - because very few people know who Kim Kardashian is. Also, Vivid head honcho Hirsch is notoriously tight with a buck, except when it comes to buying himself cars or nose candy.

She just looks dirty. Add 'sell out' to the list of her character flaws. I guess her most private life can be public for the right price. She is nasty.

Settlement, my ass!

We all know that money is her portion of the sales. It was just clever marketing to have her file a lawsuit, then wait until sales went through the roof, then say that "a settlement" was negotiated.

Not only is Ms. Kardashian a faux celebrity, she's not even a real porn actress!

What's next, a star on Hollywood Boulevard for these fake bitches?

I am SICK of what we call a "celebrity" these days. How did we get to this point?

Hey...you can't knock a "thesbian" for taking part in the oldest profession. Though Kim K is kinda hot, I heard the tape sucked ass. I guess people wanted to see if she was atleast a good lay, unlike that dead fish Paris.

Whores , the lot of em. no integrity or couthe , or morals. It's all about the $$$$$ not the tape getting out. All she really cares about is gettin paid.

i laugh at all these souless celebrities. As people i pity them , not admire them. Everything has it's price.

Hey TMZ,,,,,,,,,can't you at least require that people you put in here, DO something first? And by DO something I don't mean being born or video taping your sex life!

I agree with #8.

These hollywood rich kids calculate their rise to celebrity status by releasing sex tapes of themselves, "promoting" the tapes by threatening a lawsuit, then take a cut of the profits.

Isn't she the daughter of one of OJ's famous attorneys? I think if she had really wanted to stop the release of the tape her dad could have stepped in and helped.

Finally exposed - shes a wierdo:  1749 days ago

what a lying slut. I hope she enjoys her sex tape money, as she's now a prostitute; she had sex on purpose for money. Once a hooker, always a hooker...
