Sex tape
Kardashian was only little known outside gossip circles until her pornographic home video she had made with then-boyfriend, rapper Ray J, was leaked. Vivid Entertainment was the distribution company against which Kardashian had pursued legal action for the ownership of the tape.[7] Kardashian later dropped the suit and settled with Vivid Entertainment for five million dollars.[8]
Current work
On May 2, 2008, Kardashian released a workout DVD, Workout with Kim Kardashian, and a set of workout cards with the help of trainer Kathy Kaehler.[9]
