KIM SUES VIVID - When Vivid announced it would release " Kim Kardashian Superstar " a video showing the sexy socialite having sex with her then boyfriend, hip hop artist Ray J , there was widespread media coverage. Now that M s. Kardashian has filed a lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment over its distribution, the media is at it again. In a suit filed in the L.A. Superior Court Ms. Kardashian said the video "was meant to be something private between myself and my then-boyfriend." She said the video "is being sold completely without my permission or consent." Steven Hirsch , Vivid co-chairman, has replied that "we are comfortable that we have the legal right to distribute this video, despite what others may say. We have been around for 20 years and if we didn't feel comfortable putting it out, we wouldn't. We would like Kim and Ray J to be a part of it and hopefully we can work that out."
