Kim Kardashian's infamous 2003 sex tape is coming back to haunt her as the reality TV star revealed that her son Saint received a message online about it.
In the family's new Hulu series The Kardashians, Kardashian is seen crying after it's revealed that her six-year-old son stumbled upon a joke about her ex-boyfriend and Ray J's sex tape while playing the game Roblox online.
This echoes the premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians almost 15 years ago, when Kardashian fretted about having to answer questions about the tape during a television appearance.
This time around, however, the new series shows the star's son approaching her with his tablet to ask about the meme of her famous crying face in a pop-up ad.
Kardashian learns that the pop-up ad was allegedly advertising unseen footage from the tape, according to The Los Angeles Times.
"I'll sue for nominal damages. The message is more important than the dollars, at this point," Kardashian says over the phone to her lawyer Marty Singer in the episode.
"I don't want it to be copied. I have four kids. I can't go through this again. This was like 20 years ago," she continues. "I'm not going to go through this again. I know the right attorneys this time. I know exactly what to do this time... I have all the time, all the money, and all of the resources to burn them all to the ground."
Speaking to her sister Khloe, Kardashian says: "We're suing them if it's a game with my name and my picture."
Later, in an episode confessional, Kardashian explains that the pop up was a "click-bait" link that advertised "super inappropriate" footage of the sex tape.
"The last thing I want as a mom is my past to be brought up 20 years later," she said. "This is really embarrassing and I need to deal with it.
"Had my son been a little bit older and been able to read, I would have been mortified. I died inside."
Kardashian addressed having to tell her kids about the sex tape previously during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2019.
"What is your cringiest moment that you're not looking forward to having to explain to your children in the future?" a caller asked Khloé, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian at the time.
"I mean I think mine is obvious," Kim said to laughter before Cohen asked her how she plans to tells them about the tape in the future,
"I don't know yet," she replied. "I have an idea. I think I'm just going to be super honest and real with them. That's all you can really be."
