Ray J thinks his sex tape with Kim Kardashian altered the course of porn history, but some in the game say otherwise … highlighting Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton as the OGs.
You may have heard Ray’s hot take this week — namely, that his sex tape with Kim from 2007 paved the way for OnlyFans and the adult entertainment industry at large — but Riley Reid, a bona fide OF star these days, is kinda crapping on his opinion.
TMZ.com
Riley — who has over 2 million followers — tells TMZ … yes, Ray and Kim’s sex tape was influential at the time, but she actually gives more credit to Pam and Tommy Lee‘s sex tape — which was stolen and illegally released — a bit more historical credit in this regard.

In terms of Ray trying to paint himself as the seminal trailblazer for OnlyFans … Riley says that’s just not the case — instead, she cites capitalism, greed and tech for that … and says Ray’s impressive manhood had very little (if anything) to do with OF getting off the ground.
RR isn’t alone in her opinion about who changed the game with a sex tape. We got porn star Kaden Kole — who also does OF — out in L.A. Thursday … and she gave props to Paris’ 2004 sex tape, which she says Ray isn’t giving enough credence to in his review.

Kaden says the Ray/Kim tape certainly helped make sex tapes more “socially acceptable” … but that’s about it in the annals of porn history — at least from her POV, that is.
As for the Ray J-Kim tape paving the way for OnlyFans … Kaden kinda says … nah, bro. She thinks other platforms, like FB, IG, Twitter and even Myspace, allowed fans to connect with their favorite XXX stars … and it also led to porn becoming more widely spread.
She agrees with Riley on technology … it got better and amateurs saw how much money could be made … and THAT, she argues, paved the way — not Ray and Kim banging.
The duo concurs on Ray J helping nudge things in the right direction … but others came before them, and normies came after to really bring it home.
