If you were ever in any doubt that the Kardashians fabricate every ‘scandal’ and story that surrounds them, then this one’s for you.

Ray J has kept his mouth shut all these years while the Kardashians built a billion-dollar empire off Kim’s sex tape, but spilled the beans this week after the following clip from the Kardashians’ new Hulu show went viral and made him feel sick with the amount of fakery going on:

Speaking for the first time about the tape, Ray J told MailOnline that it was ‘released like an album’ by Kim herself who kept the only copy of it stashed in a Nike shoebox under her bed along with the rest of the steamy tapes she made with Ray J.

Ray J said he had never possessed a copy of any of the tapes they made together, only holding on to photos and texts Kim sent him between 2002 and 2009. He also insists he never did any of the things she claims he did in the Kardashians’ new show and was outraged by her suggestion he might have a video showing him ‘sticking a dildo in my a**’ – which he says made him sound ‘like a rapist’ and was untrue.

In a private text message to Ray J, shared below, Kim admits: ‘If you’re upset about the dildo comment it was clearly a sarcastic joke and I was laughing when I said it.’

Ray J, who said he hasn’t spoken up until now because of a contractual agreement, claims there are multiple sex tapes he and Kim recorded when they were dating in 2002, but he has never had them in his possession. He confirmed that Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian took full control and released the sex tape ‘like an album’:

Once I pitched the idea to her, just playing around a little bit, that’s when she jumped on the idea, talked to her mom and it was out of my hands from there.

As for the laptop supposedly containing the remaining footage of their original sex tape, which Kanye flew for 12 hours to retrieve for Kim, Ray J claims this is all a farce to add drama to the show and that the device only contained non-sexual photos of Ray J and Kim.

I mean all of this is all a lie. From the beginning of us putting this sex tape out, this has been the biggest lie in the industry in the history of entertainment.

I’ve sat in the shadows for over 14 years allowing the Kardashians to use my name, to abuse my name, make billions of dollars over a decade-and-a-half talking about a topic I’ve never really spoken about.

I’ve never leaked anything. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life. It has never been a leak. It’s always been a deal and a partnership between Kris Jenner and Kim and me and we’ve always been partners since the beginning of this thing.

Well, good to have confirmation to what was one of the worst kept secrets in the industry, but it absolutely takes the mick that the Kardashians are still referencing the sex tape and building lies and drama around it for ratings. No wonder Ray J is p*ssed – they’re making him out to be some kind of extorter threatening to ruin Kim’s life or something.

Don’t forget – Kim used to be a nobody who would hang out with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and post pictures like this on MySpace:

So when the opportunity came to leak her own sex tape and become as famous/more famous than Paris Hilton, she jumped at the chance. Literally no one on the planet has ever tried harder to be famous than Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, who played a key part in whoring out her daughter and the tape.

Ray J said:

It was something we did in Cabo on a trip for her birthday and it was something extra we were doing in the hotel.

She kept them all – she had to go find that tape [Sex Tape Cabo #1] and then present it. I never had a tape in my possession in our whole relationship.

I never had a single one at my house – she had them at her house. She’s always had all the tapes in a Nike shoe box under her bed.

Good for Ray J for finally getting all this off his chest and clearing his name somewhat. The final straw for him came when he watched the new Kardashian show and the storyline where they worry over whether he might have any more material, and the part where Kanye says his family will no longer be ‘extorted’ (he never asked to be paid for the laptop and was happy to hand it over):

I’ve been walking on eggshells thinking I’m going to get in trouble for telling the truth and I’ve been holding onto it for the past 14 years and watching them humiliate me. They’re celebrating my destruction.

At the end of the day this isn’t really groundbreaking news to anybody as it’s basically what we all assumed for years anyway. It’s just good to finally have confirmation from one of the key players. For shame, Kardashians. For shame!
