Kevin Blatt, Hollywood's celebrity porn broker claims that Kim Kardashian made at least $20M from the infamous sex tape with Ray J. Blatt added the final tape had several raunchy scenes deleted. In an interview with The Sun, Blatt spoke in detail about the sex tape deal in 2006. Blatt claims he was offered a chance to buy the tape from Ray J who he described was 'eager' to strike a deal.

Reportedly, Kim was working as a stylist for Brandy Melville. Melville is Ray J's sister and in the early 2000s, Kim and Ray appeared to be dating. Blatt, 52 claims he got to know of the tape's existence through a friend of his who worked at the Adult Video News back then. At that time, Blatt did not know who Ray J was but he agreed to see the rapper regardless as he is the brother of Melville. Blatt decided to meet up Ray at a local Cheesecake Factory over lunch.

At this meal, they spoke about the contents of the sex tape. Blatt told The Sun': "This little guy pulled up in a Lamborghini and came walking in the restaurant." Blatt said Ray J spoke of how he captured his sexual encounter with a woman few had heard of. Kim was relatively unknown then. She was a fashion stylist and was known to shadow reality TV star Paris Hilton. Blatt made headlines as a celebrity sex tape broker when he facilitated the release of 'One Night In Paris', Paris Hilton's sex tape with Rick Saloman. 

Kim Kardashian's sex tape was filmed in 2002 when Kim and Ray J were vacationing in Cabo, Mexico to celebrate her 22nd birthday. In his conversation with Blatt, Ray J revealed that allegedly Kim "wanted to release the sex tape for free the weekend before but he had to talk her out of it." Blatt continued, "Ray J told me, 'She wants to be bigger than Paris' I told him, ‘Ray J, you cannot let her release it for free - don’t let her do that." Blatt also added, "There’s too much money out there. I can give you the best deal ever and I’m gonna bring in somebody who’s gonna pay you a million dollars right now.'" However, at the end, Blatt said, "I was ready to make a deal with him and pay him more money than he’s ever seen but he went behind our back and that’s fine."

While a specific figure has never been disclosed, Blatt, who was understandably disappointed to miss out on buying the tape, estimates that Kim alone has likely made in excess of $20 million.
A 2017 report by TooFab alleged that Ray J was still reportedly earning $90,000 in royalties every three months. This sex tape was released in March 2007 titled 'Kim Kardashian: Superstar'. Kim's and Ray J's reps were questioned about the stars' involvement in the release of the tape, they denied to respond.

Blatt also alleges there were a number of X-rated scenes in the version of the sex tape he claims to have watched that were actually deleted from the final video. Blatt declined to elaborate but did remark: "What I can tell you is that on the initial tape of Kim Kardashian there was a lot of stuff that was excluded. I don't think the family would've been the entity that they are today if a lot of that other stuff had made it onto the final tape."

Kim's sex tape went on to make her a huge star. Around eight months after the video's release, she and the rest of her family went on to star on their own reality TV series on E!, 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' catapulting them to global fame. Kim and her "momager" Kris Jenner, have always maintained that no one in their family was involved in the leaking of the video. Ray J, too, claims he wasn't involved.
