  • The MTV Movie & TV Awards started off with a bang, thanks to some shade from host Zachary Levi.

  • As he intro’d the night, Zachary joked around and brought up Ray J... and alluded to his infamous sex tape with Kim Kardashian West. Eek.


Right before Sandra Bullock and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson went to the MTV Movie & TV Awards and accomplished my life goal of winning a golden food-shaped trophy, the host of the night, Zachary Levi, had to kick things off. And during his opener, Zachary couldn’t resist taking a little jab at Ray J.

Sit with me for a brief history lesson: Ray J, as we all know, is a rapper, singer, and well-known member of the cast of Love & Hip Hop. But you might also know him in connection to Kim Kardashian West, because once upon a time in the early aughts, they made a sex tape. Can you see where this is going?

After introducing Sandra as America’s sweetheart in part of the show opener, Zachary kind of alluded to that by saying, and I quote, “And of course, America’s other sweetheart, Ray J from Love & Hip Hop is here. Although, I’m sure some of you are more familiar with his work as a cameraman. I had to, I’m sorry, it was delectably a great idea.”

Welp. Maybe not such a great idea, looking at Ray J’s unamused face when the professional, non–Ray J MTV cameraman panned to him in the audience.

Aaand this is pretty much how Twitter reacted:

Ray J’s wife, Princess Love, was clearly not feeling it, and honestly, can you blame her?
