However you feel about Kim Kardashian and her path to fame, remember that it started when her private sex tape was leaked and made available for viewing without her consent, which is a form of sexual harassment. And now the company that did that, Vivid Entertainment, has built a VR porn experience around that tape.

The new experience uses lookalike actors to mimic Kardashian’s famous sex tape with Ray J, which Vivid bought in 2007. Kardashian sued the company, and received a settlement of $5 million, and you can still watch the original tape on Vivid’s site. The 20-minute VR video is advertised as “your first chance to see what it would be like to make your own personal home video with the reality celebutante, Miss Kim Kardashian. She comes right out of her famous home video with Ray J to have some fun with you.”

The Daily Dot has reached out to Vivid and to Kardashian to see if she was given notice of the new experience, but Vivid is also advertising that you can watch the original sex tape in VR. Which is precisely what VR was created for, right?
