'Momager' Kris Jenner and her daughter Kim Kardashian leaked the latter's infamous sex tape as part of a publicity stunt, claims a new book.
'Kardashian Dynasty' by Ian Halperin confirms that Kim signed a contract with Vivid Entertainment in 2007 to leak the sex tape she made with Ray J in 2003, reports News.com.au.
Halperin quoted a source in the "adult film industry," who said, "A mutual friend of Kim and Paris [Hilton] had advised her that if she wanted to achieve fame, a sex tape would be the way to go. Kim had discussed the idea of producing a tape with her family beforehand."
Halperin also said that a former friend of the 35-year-old reality star had told him, "It was Kris who engineered the deal behind the scenes and was responsible for the tape seeing the light of day," although he added this had been long rumoured in the showbiz world.
Halperin then posed as a porn peddler selling another celeb sex tape to speak to a Vivid spokesman, who he says told him, "When it comes to ... selling a sex tape, both parties need to sign off.
