A celebrity sex tape is typically an amateur pornographic video recording involving one or more famous people which has, intentionally or unintentionally, been made available publicly. Such videos have often been released without the consent of their subjects and have damaged or enhanced celebrities' careers. In , for example, a sex tape caused significant damage to Rob Lowe 's career. The surfacing of sex tapes has become so common that some are "leaked" as a marketing tool to advance or establish a media career.

Kevin Blatt, Hollywood's most notorious sex tape broker, claimed in an exclusive interview with The Sun that he was offered the chance to buy the tape from Ray J in , describing him as "eager" to strike a deal. Representatives for Kim Kardashian and Ray J have not yet returned a request for comment, but both stars have routinely denied having any involvement in the video's release. Meanwhile Blatt, now 52, said he was informed of the tape's existence by a childhood friend who was working at Adult Video News at the time. Ray J, who Blatt described as "very funny" and sharp, then proceeded to tell him and his friend all about a video he'd captured of a sexual encounter he'd shared with a woman that neither Blatt nor his friend had heard of. The woman, it would turn out, was Kim Kardashian, a then-relatively unknown fashion stylist who was close friends with reality TV behemoth Paris Hilton.

When the tape was initially leaked by Rand Gauthier, the electrician who stole the safe where the video was hidden, newspapers were reluctant to publish anything around the story. But despite the fame, power and untouchable status some celebrities enjoyed in the 90s, the couple approached news of their sex tape leak with a shocking naivety in hindsight. Reluctant pioneers in a seedy new world, they tried in vain to get the video removed before signing a deal that made them a paltry sum. Anderson became a punchline, a crass joke for late night talk show hosts to crack for an amused audience. Courtney Love was particularly vitriolic about the effect the tape had on Anderson at the time.
