Kim Kardashian followed up on her threats; on Wednesday, the Paris Hilton BFF filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County against Vivid Entertainment for selling the sex tape she made with ex-boyfriend Ray J. She asked for unspecified damages, attorney fees, and all profits the company made from the sell of the tape.

“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 PEOPLE. “I am filing legal charges against the company who is distributing this tape since it is being sold completely without my permission or consent.”

The video was made during Kardashian’s three-year relationship with the 26-year-old Ray J, which ended in 2005. Ray J, the brother of singer Brandy, is not named as a defendant, nor is he a plaintiff in the suit.

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. The video will be released in stores and on the Internet Feb. 28.

“We are comfortable that we have the legal right to distribute this video, despite what others may say,” says Vivid co-chairman 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.”

Kim and Ray J ended their relationship in 2005. He’s allegedly dating Whitney Houston at the moment.
