Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner scored a legal victory in their battle against Ray J ... because his countersuit over their sex tape settlement will now play out in private arbitration, not a public courtroom.
A judge ruled Friday that Ray J's countersuit against the famous mother and daughter -- claiming they've violated a settlement agreement by continuing to bring up Kim's sex tape with Ray J on "The Kardashians" -- belongs in private arbitration.
The judge agreed with Kim and Kris that the parties signed a contract to take disputes over that agreement ... and so that's where they'll handle this disagreement.

The Reality Report posted the audio on Instagram Friday … which seems to show several cast members ripping into Amanda for sneaking around with Ciara’s ex, West Wilson.
In one slide, several cast members pile onto Amanda for not apologizing to Ciara in her joint statement with West … and accusing them of only coming clean because there was a video out there ... although it’s unclear what the alleged video actually showed.

TMZ obtained the video, and it shows David driving his truck down a residential street in Malibu ... as a woman and two dogs head towards him. The dogs are NOT on a leash.
David says it's Vera Errico walking her dogs ... she's the woman who alleges David was behind the wheel in a hit-and-run that killed one of her dogs, who she was walking on a leash in Malibu.
She was reminiscing about her relationship with LVP to cohost James Maas on the latest episode of the "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" ... when she recalled that Scheana "wrote horrible things" about Lisa in her memoir.
Jelly Roll is facing some heavy accusations from comedian Nicole Arbour... but police in Nashville say they’re not exactly rushing to build a case.
A rep for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department tells TMZ, “As you’re probably aware, there appears to be an ongoing online back and forth between the two. No charges have been filed and there is no current investigation underway on the part of MNPD.”

Tucker Carlson says he feels partly responsible for President Donald Trump securing a second term in the Oval Office ... and, he's really sorry about it.
The conservative commentator issued a mea cupla during an episode of "The Tucker Carlson Show" released Monday while chatting with his younger brother, Buckley, who worked as a speechwriter for POTUS.
Carlson said he and Buckley are "implicated" in making Trump president again ... and, he says it's not enough to simply say they changed their minds ... because he feels they, and millions of others, are the reason for the state of affairs.
Tucker Carlson’s son has bounced from J.D. Vance’s office ... but his decision had nothing to do with the fiery feud between President Donald Trump and his dad.
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Buckley Carlson is out as deputy press secretary in the VP’s office ... a call he made after an "intense" year in the role. We're told it's common for people to depart the WH after a year ... and this has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump and his pop's bad blood.
Obviously, the timing set off a lot of speculation ... since Trump has been going scorched-earth on Tucker lately -- calling him “low IQ,” “overrated,” and even a “broken man” in recent Truth Social posts -- while Tucker’s been firing back over everything from Iran policy to Trump’s rhetoric, accusing him of crossing serious lines.
Tucker reportedly tried to personally talk Trump out of striking Iran and has since become one of his loudest conservative critics on the issue -- turning their once-friendly relationship into a full-on public slugfest.
But again ... we heard from our source that Buckley made a professionally-based decision-- not a personal one ... as his dad and Trump continue to lock horns in the headlines.
Jesse James and his wife Bonnie Rotten might be calling a truce -- because just a month after their messy court drama, they’re back in the same orbit.
Check out the clip ... the estranged couple was all smiles at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction over the weekend, cruising around in a vintage ride and even hitting the stage together during bidding.
Now, don’t go calling it a full-blown romantic reunion just yet -- there was no PDA -- but they also weren’t at each other’s throats ... which is quite the shift, considering a judge recently ordered Bonnie to stop threatening Jesse or risk jail time.
Alix Earleisn’t spilling the tea just yet ... but her latest TikTok is doing plenty of talking!
The influencer posted a new TikTok of herself on Sunday, taking a pole-dancing class, set to “You Don’t Own Me” … but it’s the caption that’s really got people buzzing: “Sorry been busy filming this week.”
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
Fans immediately flooded the comments looking for answers about her rumored feud with Alex Cooper-- but Alix kept things cryptic. When one follower claimed to have “inside info,” she shut it down fast, replying, “Doesn’t mean it’s true 💗 you’ll see.”
Talk about awkward timing ... Tucker Carlson’s son is bouncing from J.D. Vance’s office right as President Donald Trump’s attacks on his dad hit a fever pitch.
Buckley Carlson -- son of the conservative lightning rod -- is out as deputy press secretary in the VP’s office … heading for the private sector to launch a political consulting firm, with Politicofirst reporting the move.
Now, this reportedly wasn’t some sudden blow-up. Buckley actually gave notice back in December and stuck around to help smooth the transition.
Offset was just slapped with a federal lawsuit by a music producer who claims the rapper used his song on his solo album without first getting a deal in place ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, music producer Chase Dalton Rose aka ChaseTheMoney claimed Offset used his song “Worth It” on his second solo album, Set It Off, without an agreement in place with him.

He wants a full accounting and an order forcing Offset to fork over some of the money he made on the song.
Back in March 2025, Offset sued ChaseTheMoney, over the drama in federal court seeking a declaration from the court that Offset fulfilled his end of the deal with the producer.
