While most stars were in trouble when sensitive videos were leaked, Kim “super round 3″ ” stepped up to the clouds” with this scandal.
Going back in time to 2007, the scandal of the leaked hot clip of Kim “super round 3” and her ex-boyfriend Ray J caused an “earthquake” in Hollywood.
Instead of being a disaster, the scandal accidentally became a tool for Kim to make millions of dollars and her name suddenly became famous.
For the past 9 years, public opinion has always thought that this was just a random scandal that brought benefits to the super-rounded Kim. However, behind it was a calculated step-by-step arrangement to make Kim the most controversial star in the American entertainment industry today.
Kim and Jay-Z split in 2007 after five years of dating.
What’s more shocking is that today people have the answer to the question: Who intentionally leaked the sex tape?
Recently, Ian Halperin, the notorious Hollywood journalist, published a sensational book called “Kardashian Dynasty”, in which he revealed the secrets of this famous family.
Ian Halperin claims that it was Kris Jenner who staged the infamous clip (recorded in 2003) of her daughter and Ray J and then let it be leaked to the public in 2007.
Even Kris himself is the one who arranges with companies in the adult film industry.
The book is titled “Kardashian Dynasty” by Ian Halperin.
Halperin’s source said that a person working in a porn company confirmed that the idea for the sex clip was agreed upon before it was made.
“A mutual friend of Kim and Paris Hilton advised her that if she wanted to achieve fame, a racy video would be the best route.
Kim then discussed the idea with her family before implementing it. Kris Jenner was the one who arranged the deals behind the scenes and was responsible for making the tape famous in Hollywood,” said journalist Ian Halperin.
According to journalist Ian, Kim and her mother discussed directing a sex tape before making it in order to seek fame.
While most stars were devastated when sensitive videos were leaked, Kim Kardashian “rose to the sky” with this scandal.
The person who helped Kris Jenner make her daughter’s sex tape was Joe Francis, known as a director of “adult” programs.
As planned, in February 2007, Kim Kardashian’s sex tape was released by Vivid Entertainment under the title “Kim K: Superstar”. After reaching a settlement, the Kardashian family publicly withdrew their lawsuit against Vivid.
Accordingly, Kim and Ray J received $300,000 each, plus commissions for each view and download.
At that time, Vivid earned a lot of money by spreading Kim’s sensitive video. The “main character” Ray J – the guy pocketed 90,000 USD in 3 months, and Kim was 50,000 USD/month.
The video quickly made Kim famous and the total amount of money the Kardashian family earned from the scandal was 5 million USD (equivalent to more than 112 billion VND).
Riding on the success of her daughter’s scandal, Kris Jenner launched the reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashian” in October of that year.
It’s no wonder the show became such a hit that Kim Kardashian suddenly became a Hollywood sensation.
In 2012, in an interview with Oprah, Kim Kardashian denied rumors that she intentionally leaked the sex video and asserted that “it was an embarrassment to my family”.
According to the author of a newly published book about the Kardashian family, Kim’s power and wealth today is not only due to luck but also thanks to the intelligence of her “momanager” Kris Jenner.
However, to have a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, they also lost a lot when facing public criticism – something that will affect the future F2 generation of the Kardashian family.
Ian Halperin is a journalist and writer who has written many books and articles about American celebrities that have shocked public opinion.
His most famous book is “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson” published in 2009.
He is also the co-author of other publications such as “Love and Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain” (2005), “Hollywood Undercover” (2009), “Whitney and Bobbi Kristina” (2015)…
