Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner scored a legal victory in their battle against Ray J … because his countersuit over their sex tape settlement will now play out in private arbitration, not a public courtroom.
A judge ruled Friday that Ray J’s countersuit against the famous mother and daughter — claiming they’ve violated a settlement agreement by continuing to bring up Kim’s sex tape with Ray J on “The Kardashians” — belongs in private arbitration.
The judge agreed with Kim and Kris that the parties signed a contract to take disputes over that agreement … and so that’s where they’ll handle this disagreement.
To be clear, Ray J’s countersuit is the only thing headed to arbitration now … the defamation case Kris and Kim filed against Ray J is still currently in court.
Kim and Kris’ lawyer, Alex Spiro, tells TMZ … “We expected the court to rule in our favor and we’re pleased with the decision.”
As you know … Ray J’s was sued for defamation for claiming Kim and Kris were being investigated for racketeering charges.
