"This tape, which was made three years ago, and was meant to be something private between myself and my then-boyfriend is extremely hurtful not only to me, but to my family as well," Kardashian said in a statement to the weekly magazine.  "I am filing legal charges against the company who is distributing this tape since it is being sold completely without my permission or consent."

According to the lawsuit, Vivid announced in January they had acquired the videotape for $1 million from "an unidentified third party."  She claims that Vivid is planning to start selling the tape, which they dubbed "Kim Kardashian Superstar" on February 28, reports Access Hollywood.

Vivid Entertainment, a major producer of adult films, said it had purchased the sex tape for $1 million from a third party but did not identify the person or entity.  "We are comfortable that we have the legal right to distribute this video, despite what others may say," says Vivid cochairman Steven Hirsch. "We have been around for 20 years and if we didn't feel comfortable putting it out, we wouldn't. We would like Kim and Ray J to be a  part of it and hopefully we can work that out."

While Kardashian, 26, is known mostly as a Hollywood partygoer, in the lawsuit, she is referred to as "a television host, model, stylist, celebrity, and successful fashion retailer."
