LONDON – August 5, 2025 – In a remarkable challenge to the entrenched media landscape, Willie Ray Norwood Jr., widely known as Ray J, has submitted a groundbreaking affidavit to the UK High Court of Justice, accusing several influential entities, including CBS Interactive, Hulu, Vivid Entertainment, and the Daily Mail, of orchestrating manipulation, pressuring silence, and corporate corruption over decades.
This filing, presented by prominent whistleblower Alkiviades David, is a pivotal part of a larger RICO-style lawsuit (2025-001991) that implicates a range of media executives, attorneys, and distribution companies in activities spanning contract violations, defamation, economic sabotage, and sexual exploitation of celebrity figures.
Ray J’s statement isn’t merely another instance of celebrity discord.
This is a candid declaration, confronting figures such as Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Steve Hirsch, and criticizing the entire framework that has capitalized on his suffering while attempting to silence him.
**“Put It to the Test in Court.”**
Among the less commonly seen legal maneuvers, Ray J explicitly refutes assertions from opposing lawyers claiming he charged the Kardashians with “racketeering.” In his own words: “I never used those words. I never made that claim. Bring it to open court.”
It appears the court may indeed be the battleground for these explosive allegations.
Included in the affidavit are:
- Correspondences indicating Hulu's breach of prior agreements by airing Kardashian-related content post-payment.
- A purported handwritten contract by Kim Kardashian detailing the distribution of three contrived sex tapes, directed by Kris Jenner, for public consumption.
- Evidence of the controversial “lie detector” episode being staged with the involvement of a polygraph operator with a questionable standing.
- Claims implicating Lisa Bloom in an ongoing effort to wrongfully link Ray J with the Whitney Houston case.
- Legal documentation revealing financial misconduct involving the Norwood family by the Kardashians—an arrangement discretely settled but never publicly acknowledged.
**Targeting the Media Syndicate**
Ray J’s affidavit reads as more than a personal vindication; it serves as crucial evidence aimed squarely at exposing long-standing corrupt practices within legacy media.
Central to this case is the assertion that entities such as Download.com (CBS Interactive), Hulu, and the Daily Mail have not acted as unbiased publishers but as parties to a deceptive network meant to:
- Coerce susceptible celebrities into maintaining silence,
- Capitalize on their humiliation,
- And engage in defamation that limits their reputational recovery.
It’s a familiar narrative, yet it has never been laid so bare.
Ray J’s insistence on proceeding without a settlement, coupled with his declaration—“No grace. No silence. No arbitration”—enforces a sense of urgency, implying all involved may be called to testify across various jurisdictions.
**“Hulu Breached When It Aired That Falsehood.”**
At the core of Ray J’s outrage lies a straightforward contractual truth: the Kardashians, by their actions, repeatedly violated their agreements—most notably, by leveraging their Disney-supported platform to misguide public perception.
In Ray J’s words: “You breached the moment Hulu aired that lie. You breached when you missed your payment. There’s no grace, not even one hour late.”
This is not a mere plea for media attention. This represents a broader condemnation of an entire industry.
**A Multibillion-Dollar Reckoning?**
Ray J projects his personal damages into the hundreds of millions due to defamation, lost opportunities, and professional ostracism. The case has the potential to expose the overinflated valuations fostered by misleading narratives and media exploitation.
Despite substantial setbacks, entities like Raycon, ScootEBike, and various syndicated programs have continued to thrive. “Consider what I could have achieved without being portrayed as the villain,” he states.
The implications are profound: Media revenues may be directly tied to the destruction of individual reputations, reducing artists to mere collateral damage.
**What Lies Ahead?**
As UK Judge Barry Cotter evaluates the shocking testimony, and courts in Antigua already engaged due to related SwissX proceedings, momentum is building on an international scale.
Ray J’s testimony signals a watershed moment—not solely against those who wronged him, but against the entire mechanism that churns scandal into profit, transforms abuse into entertainment, and turns threats into legal clout.
Should Judge Cotter accept this affidavit and allow subpoenas to be issued, the outcome may unearth years of predatory media practices rooted in trauma, silence, and stigma.
And as Ray J poignantly puts it:
“Truth only has one witness: me.”
