Kim Kardashian Drops Law Suit Against Vivid Entertainment
Socialite Kim Kardashian has dropped a law suit against Vivid Entertainment for the release of Kim Kardashian Superstar, a sex video she made with her lover of three years, R&B artist Ray J, after Vivid agreed to pay her a financial settlement.
"We are pleased that Kim has dropped her legal action against us," said Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment in a statement released to Star. "We met with her several times and finally reached a financial arrangement that we both feel is fair." The agreement is for Vivid to Kim for her hard work — a lump sum financial settlement for the sale of the DVDs.
Kim achieved minor stardom by becoming friends with Paris Hilton, and through her father, lawyer Robert Kardashian, who defended O.J. Simpson during his murder trial. The porno was leaked to the internet earlier this year and has become an instant bestseller for Vivid Entertainment.
"We've always known we had the legal right to distribute this video which became an instant best-seller and we've always want to work something out with Kim so she could share in the profits," added Mr. Hirsch.
Vivid Entertainment obtained legal rights to the video by paying off a secret third party contender 1 million bucks. We wonder who it could be? Hmmm...
