Kim Kardashian has emotionally revealed how ex-husband Kanye West retrieved the rest of the sex tape she made with Ray J.
On the 28 April episode of The Kardashians, Kim opened up to her family about how West, who now goes by Ye, acquired the rest of her sex tape footage.
Kim made the infamous sex tape with her boyfriend at the time, Ray J – real name William Ray Norwood Jr. – in 2003. It was later leaked in 2007.

Breaking down to the rest of her family, Kim told them how Ye had 'got [her] all of the sex tape back'.
"And he flew home and he got the computer it was on and the hard drive. He met up with Ray J at the airport," she said.
She reflected on how her ex-husband did it not just for her, but for her kids.
"I want to shield them from as much as I can. And if I had the power to or if Kanye has the power to, like, that is just the most important thing to me. And I'm just so emotional because of it," she said, E! News reports.
The announcement comes after Kim is reported to have gone to Ye in tears after her six-year-old son Saint was sent a joke about her sex tape via the online video game platform Roblox.
While she has previously tried to 'embrace' the tape, Kim explained that the 'super inappropriate' joke sent to her son was 'the last thing' she wanted 'as a mum'.
"I almost died when Saint thought it was funny," she told Ye.
Rumours had previously emerged earlier in the year that there could be a follow-up tape to the original 2003 leak.
However, the footage was reviewed and it was concluded that it contained 'nothing sexual'.
After her son saw a joke about her sex tape, Kim called her attorney to assure them she is '99.9 percent sure no other tape exists'.
In January, Ye detailed how he 'met this man at the airport' to retrieve the tape, before delivering it to Kim at '8.00am in the morning'.
"I gave it to her and she cried when she saw it," the rapper reflected.
Ye also noted how his ex-wife's reaction 'represents how much she's been used' and how much people have just seen her as a 'commodity'.
In the 28 April episode, Kris Jenner thanked her former son-in-law for retrieving the rest of the tape.
She said: "Thank you for Kanye and for his unbelievable way he does things and the ability to get something done. And probably a big, fat, huge check. So, we're all very grateful."
