Jay-Z Accuses Woman And Her Attorney Of Fabricating Sexual Assault Story For Payout
HuffPost
The rap artist is suing "Jane Doe" and her lawyer, who is also representing hundreds of victims accusing Diddy of sexual misconduct.
Jay-Z filed a lawsuit Monday against big-name Houston attorney Tony Buzbee and a woman who previously accused the hip-hop artist and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her when she was 13 years old in 2000.
The suit, filed in Alabama, comes almost a month after the woman, identified as Jane Doe, voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit against Diddy and Jay-Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter.
In Carter’s new lawsuit against the woman, the artist accuses Doe of conspiring with multiple attorneys, including Buzbee, to make false and defamatory statements against him.
Doe was one of hundreds of people whom Buzbee has been representing in lawsuits accusing Combs of sexual misconduct. However, hers was the only one that named Carter, alleging that he and Combs raped her in New York City after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards while an unnamed female celebrity watched.
Combs has denied all wrongdoing in multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct as well as a federal sex trafficking case against him. Carter also denied Doe’s allegations, and she dismissed her lawsuit with prejudice, meaning she cannot file it again.
