Kris Jenner allegedly helped to set up the sale of Kim Kardashian’s tape

In 2007, Kim Kardashian was catapulted to stardom following the release of her tape with rapper Ray J.

Now reports have emerged that it was allegedly Kim Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner saw to it that her daughter would cash in on it.

A source has claimed that “momager” Kris Jenner, 56, helped to set up the sale of the video which led to 31-year-old Kim Kardashian’s fame.

The insider allegedly claimed to Star Magazine via Radar Online: “Kris was totally involved in arranging the sale of Kim’s tape.

“The video already existed, and Kris was there every step of the way as a middleman brought in to market it to an adult entertainment company.”

The source also alleged that Kris Jenner was delighted when she found out the tape, released by adult company Vivid Entertainment, was titled Kim Kardashian, Superstar.

The insider claimed: “That must have thrilled Kris since you could hardly call Kim a household name at that point in time.”

And they added that Kris Jenner allegedly received a hefty pay out for the sale of the video.

The source claimed: “I saw Kris Jenner’s signature on the contract; I believe she got somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000 for the original deal with the middleman.”

Kim Kardashian had filmed the tape three years earlier when she was 23, and Keeping Up With The Kardashians premiered eight months after its release.

And the source alleged to the publication that it was all part of the plan for Kris Jenner.

They claimed: “Everything she does in this world, every decision she makes on her daughters’ behalf, is based on greed and publicity. And has nothing to do with her family’s stability or happiness.”

Star Magazine claims that the source passed a polygraph test while making the allegations.

Back in June reports emerged that Kris Jenner had allegedly instructed Kim Kardashian to make the video even had her re-shoot it because the first take wasn’t “pretty enough”.

Kim Kardashian’s younger sister Khloe was infuriated by the claims and said: “That is just disgusting and disturbing, and probably HIS fantasy!”
