“We remain very confident that we have the legal right to distribute this video,” said Vivid Co-Chairman Steven Hirsch. “But we feel it is most important that we have an opportunity to meet with Ms. Kardashian as soon as possible. We have reached out to her to try to set up a meeting.”
In her lawsuit, Kardashian alleges that she “did not intend, authorize or consent to the distribution of the videotape … to any other person, and [Kardashian] certainly never intended or expected the videotape of her most intimate acts to be made a product of commercial exploitation and mass public distribution.”
Vivid bought the video from a third party for $1 million.
Among her many claims to fame, Kardashian, 26, is the stepdaughter of Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner and the daughter of the late lawyer Robert Kardashian, who once represented O.J. Simpson. Kardashian is also friends with professional celebrity and socialite Paris Hilton.
