AOL Black Voices columnist Jawn Murray ran a blind item about a mystery sex tape:
“Can’t Say Names…
Desperate times call for desperate measures! Sources say a certain R&B singer, who has never really caught a major break, is peddling an X-rated home video to adult entertainment companies in hopes that it will do for his career what it has done for Paris Hilton’s. I’m also told that said singer believes that releasing the video will serve as revenge to his ex-girlfriend who recently dumped him for another entertainer.”
Several gossip sites quickly filled in the blanks:
“R&B Singer”
“Ex-Girlfriend”
“Another Entertainer”
Kim Kardashian, who was in Australia with Paris Hilton at the time, responded to the rumors in a statement to the gossip site Hollyscoop: “There is no tape! It is false.” She also told the site that she’s “still friends” with Ray J, and that he would never intentionally do something to her as “revenge.” She finished by claiming that she’s having a “blast” with Paris & that the girls laughed off the story because it’s so far from the truth!
Happy 10 Years!
