Ray J said ... “For this ever to be an issue, Kardashian must first pass the bar exam, something she admittedly has not yet done.”

He continued ... “Regardless, it is unclear why vague, third-party allegations from [an interview] and a Twitch stream could ever ‘jeopardize’ her legal career. It would be the underlying wrongful conduct, none of which [Kim and Kris have] denied.”

Theodis Daniel -- DJ's father -- posted on his son's behalf ... calling the online gossip about his son's death "lies" and writing it's tantamount to bullying the young man.
