Bethenny Frankel weighed in on the ongoing saga surrounding Ray J and Kim Kardashian 's historic sex tape over the weekend.
The American media personality, 51, claims the Kardashian family 'made billions and billions of dollars' thanks to the infamous video, and 'they fully were involved' in the leaking of the tape - something the Kar-Jenner clan have always denied over the years.
In her now-deleted Instagram post, the SkinnyGirl entrepreneur also states that Ray J 'hasn't been properly compensated' for starring in the video, and suggests the singer should 'get 10% commission' for his role in helping create America's most famous family.
Bethenny's rant comes as Ray J is threatening to take Kris Jenner to court for denying she was behind the leak of Kim Kardashian's infamous 2002 sex tape.
The 41-year-old singer, real name Ray Norwood, previously accused Kris of "masterminding" the ordeal that launched Kim's stratospheric rise to fame.
But this week the business mogul, 66, took part in a lie detector test while appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden with her daughter Kylie Jenner.
And now Ray J has lashed out at his ex-girlfriend and her mother - warning Kris she has "f***ed with the wrong person" as he accused the polygraph examiner, John Grogan, of being a "fraud".
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Bethenny claimed that it's 'common knowledge' the Kardashians 'were involved in that tape' and made 'billions' from it while Ray J 'has not been properly compensated' since the video's 'leak' in 2007.
"I bet that Ray J just hasn't been properly compensated and he's been embarrassed in front of his family, and they keep exploiting it and capitalizing on it," she says in the now-deleted video, before adding: "Ray J should get 10% commission for lightening the flame that created America's first family. Royal family - Kardashians."
She goes on to claim: "I am being dead serious... I know people in common with the Kardashians and they fully were involved in that tape."
"It's obviously second hand, but I heard from people close to them Kris was involved in the tape with Kim and... they have made billions and billions of dollars off this tape."
Bethenny adds: "Don't we know that already? I'm just confused what we're confused about. Is the truth relevant? It doesn't seem like it ever is."
The entrepreneur went on to delete her post but returned to her Instagram Stories to tell her followers she was getting their messages and promise she would discuss "it all on the podcast this week - it's too long and you already know how I feel."
The Mirror has approached representatives for the Kardashians for comment on this story.
Earlier this week, James Corden asked Kris a number of questions while she was hooked up to a lie detector machine, including: "Did you help Kim release her sex tape?"
After Kris' denial she was involved in the leak, James' colleague confirmed the matriarch was telling the truth, to which Kris replied: "We cleared that up!"
Following the momager's appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Ray J - who dated Kim between 2002 and 2006 - lashed out at his ex-girlfriend and her mother and accused the polygraph examiner, John Grogan, of being a "fraud".
"You f–ked with the wrong black man krisjenner @kimkardashian — i dont give a f**k how old this s**t is!!" he wrote on Instagram.
"What you trying to do to me is almost inhumane and foul at the highest level— f**k this being just racist — this is wrong to do to anybody— you think you. can just f**k people over and get away with it forever!!!”
He then called her "devils and con-artist" and accused Kris of "trying to bury me", before going on to state how he is going to sue "everybody" involved for "defamation".
Kim and Ray, who got together in 2002 when they were just 21, made the adult film during Kim's birthday celebrations during a trip to Cabo in 2004.
The sex tape didn't become public until 2007, when rumors started to circulate around about footage obtained by Vivid Entertainment.
