Ray J’s Mom Defends Him Against Kim Kardashian & Kris Jenner

The infamous sex tape starring Kim Kardashian and Ray J is largely a relic of the past. However, both parties have referenced it in recent years, with Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, denying in recent court filings that they orchestrated its release. Now, Sonja Norwood, mother of Ray J and Grammy-Winning R&B Legend Brandy, has responded in a fiery post.

Ray J’s Mother Defends Him Against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner

Ray J recently claimed that Kardashian and her mother, Jenner, were behind the now-infamous 2007 sex tape, leading both parties to deny that this was the case. Following this, Norwood took to Facebook on the morning of March 12 to defend her son.

She said, “Who did? After reading the declarations from Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, and reading their recent statements circulating, including reports published across multiple media outlets regarding the tape, I am no longer going to sit back and watch my son be ‘dogged’ on social media over this matter when Ray J and I, Kris and Kim, and many others know the truth.”

Mrs. Norwood Then Addressed Kris Jenner Directly

Norwood then continued her response to Kardashian and Jenner’s statements about her son. Addressing Jenner directly, she said, “And Kris, momager, you say you did not orchestrate the commercial release of the tape. Then who did?”

She went on, “I support Ray J and his journey to bring the truth forward. I have witnessed this journey for many years, and however long it takes, whether it becomes a long journey or a difficult battle, we will stay on that path until the voices that have distorted the truth are publicly revealed.”

Norwood concluded her thoughts: “And if that truth journey must continue all the way to the doorstep of God’s judgment, then so be it.”

Fans Are Standing Beside Ray J And The Norwood Family

The general consensus online is that all parties involved with the 2007 sex tape between Ray J and Kardashian should move on from it. However, now that Norwood has offered her take, fans are also defending Ray J.

One person commented on Norwood’s statement, saying, “We already know Mrs. Norwood. They are trying to play in our faces!” Someone else wrote, “We already know that you will fight and protect your family at all costs. We stand with you.”

Another Facebook user stated, “I know you had enough, Mrs. Sonja, if you are speaking on this. You got this!” Lastly, someone else expressed disbelief that the tape was still a topic of discussion.

They wrote, “Wait! Are we still talking about this? We already knew the truth. The Kardashians must not be getting enough attention, because why did this topic resurface?”

Here’s What Kim K and Kris Jenner Said About Ray J

TMZ published excerpts from a legal filing by Kardashian and Jenner, where they deny that the adult tape was a “staged event.” Kardashian said in the documents, “[Ray J’s] claim that I had a plan with my mother and others to release a sex tape, defraud the public, and file a ‘fake’ lawsuit against the porn company that released it to ‘create buzz’ is a lie.”

Jenner also fired back at the singer. She stated that she did not “make my daughter Kim film any sex tape or decide what tape to release, as Defendant further outrageously claimed in his cross-complaint.”

The 70-year-old continued, “As a mother, the notion that I orchestrated or produced sex tapes involving my daughter, or was in any way involved in the creation or distribution of any sex tapes, is not only entirely untrue but deeply offensive and harmful and has haunted me for decades.”

This comes after Kardashian and Jenner sued Ray J for defamation. He then countersued, claiming that they violated a settlement agreement by speaking about the sex tape.

Sonja Norwood Recently Gave An Update On Ray J’s Health

Ray J has been plagued with health issues for months now, including being hospitalized in January for pneumonia and a heart condition. More recently, according to E!, he performed with what appeared to be blood on his face, and then in March 2026, he collapsed while performing.

Norwood went on Facebook Live to shoot down rumors that Ray J was faking his health issues. She said, “It’s just really gotten out of hand when someone thinks that my son is faking his health, or it’s a hoax, or he’s just playing around.”

She continued, “I’m the kind of mother that it’s not much that I don’t know about my children because they voluntarily tell me things. When things are good and when things are not so good. I’m generally the first phone call.”

From there, she thanked fans who had prayed for Ray J’s health and discussed when she first received the text on January 6 that her son was in the hospital, saying her “heart skipped a beat.” Ultimately, she discussed how serious a health issue Ray J has, stating that he “could have a heart attack.”
