Alright. Let’s at least admit this, okay? If the Kim/Ray J sex tape never made its way to the internet, there’s a good chance the Kardashian empire wouldn’t exist. Cripes, even Kim herself kinda realizes that.

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, the 31-year-old reality star(?) admitted that her sex tape “definitely introduced” her to the world. Oh, and introduce her it did. But guess what? That might’ve not been an accident.

According to TMZ, Kim’s now ex-husband Kris Humphries claims that Kris Jenner told Kim to shoot the now-infamous tape – and even instructed her to re-shoot the video because the first one wasn’t – ahem – “pretty enough.” The 26-year-old Humphries trashed Kim and family in text messages to his post-Kim ex-girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj.

In addition to the this, Sinanaj supposedly has numerous text messages in which Humphries says that Myla is the “love of his life” and that he wanted to divorce with Kim to be over quickly so that they could spend the rest of their lives together. In some of the messages Kris is reported to have said that he’s “moved on” from Kim.

All that isn’t good news for Humphries, who has maintained that he was truly in love with Kim, duped into marrying her in a fraud marriage. Kris is also alleging in his divorce that Kim destroyed him emotionally by leading him to believe he was entering into a real marriage.

Stay tuned for more trash-slinging….
