Woman Drops Lawsuit Accusing Jay-Z And Diddy Of Raping Her When She Was 13
HuffPost
Jay-Z said in a statement on Friday that woman's accusations were false and had caused trauma for him and his family.
An anonymous woman who accused Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z of sexually assaulting her at a Manhattan house party she was 13 years old dropped her lawsuit on Friday.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe, notified the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that she is voluntarily dismissing her lawsuit against Combs and Jay-Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, according to the filing obtained by HuffPost. The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning the woman cannot file it again.
Doe was one of more than a hundred people represented by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee who have accused Combs of sexual misconduct. Combs has denied all wrongdoing in connection to multiple ongoing lawsuits as well as a federal sex trafficking case. Doe’s lawsuit was the only one to also name Carter, who repeatedly denied the allegations and accused Buzbee of attempting to “blackmail” him.
According to the lawsuit’s amended complaint, the woman claims she was given a laced drink at an afterparty in New York City following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. After she became inebriated, Carter and Combs took turns raping her while an unnamed female celebrity watched. She was 13 at the time, and Carter and Combs would’ve been in their early 30s.
Buzbee and the law firm listed as Doe’s representation did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s questions on the dropped suit on Friday.
