Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Win Another Round in Ray J Defamation War
Arnold Jerocki/FilmMagic Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner have prevailed again in their defamation war against Ray J, with a Los Angeles judge siding with the mother-daughter duo and declining to dismiss their claims. Ray J, born William Ray Norwood Jr., had sought to dismiss the lawsuit by arguing it had no merit and was filed to silence him. The judge disagreed, finding Norwood did not qualify for protection under California’s anti-SLAPP law, which is intended to quickly dismiss lawsuits targeting free speech that are not likely to prevail.
