Kim Kardashian Laments Dating in the Public Eye: "It's Kind of Awkward"

Following her divorce from Thomas, Kardashian met singer Ray J through his sister "Moesha" star and award-winning singer Brandy, as reported by ET Canada. At the time, Kardashian was working for Brandy as a personal assistant and started dating Ray J in 2005.
The two had an on-again, off-again relationship for two years, and officially broke up in 2007, which Ray J discussed in his book "Death of a Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray." In the book, he discusses a relationship with a woman named "KK" and said (via Page Six), "We'd known each other for a while before we dated and there was a mutual attraction, but she was married … She let me know she wanted to get with me. She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex and things between us got intense really fast. After that, I felt obligated to be with her."
After their breakup, however, the two were thrust into a media frenzy when their sex tape was leaked. Vivid Entertainment, an adult-film production and distribution company, bought the sex tape for $1 million from an unnamed third party in February 2007, and soon "Kim Kardashian, Superstar" was all over the internet. Later that month, Kardashian sued Vivid Entertainment for distributing and selling the tape without her consent, but ultimately dropped the lawsuit in April 2007 and settled for $5 million, according to TMZ.
Ray J later released his 2013 song "I Hit It First," which blatantly shades his ex. In one line, he raps, "She might move on to rappers and ballplayers, but we all know I hit it first." Additionally, his love interest in the video strongly resembles Kardashian.
