Brooklyn billionaire Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter is suing the woman, who accused him of raping the then-13-year-old girl in 2000 after the MTV Video Music Awards in Manhattan, and her attorneys, Tony Buzbee and David Fortney.
According to The Washington Post, Jay-Z filed a lawsuit Mar. 3, stating that the plaintiffs knew when filing the paperwork that the allegations that she was sexually assaulted by Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs were untrue. They were “motivated by greed.”
The Alabama woman and her attorneys recently withdrew the lawsuit Feb. 14 “with prejudice.”
Jay-Z has steadily denied the allegations and protested the lawsuit when it was publicly revealed.
The suit states that the plaintiff and her attorneys made “malevolent efforts to assassinate” the rapper’s character. They were “motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency,” and tried to extort money from the “Hard Knock Life” lyricist.
It also says that the woman identified as Jane Doe admitted that the allegations against the businessman were false and that Buzbee convinced her to go along with the story. The attorney “pushed” her to go forward with the story to “leverage a maximum payday.”
Buzbee filed a lawsuit against Diddy in October 2024, alleging that Doe was drugged and raped by the Bad Boys
Record executive. She also claimed that another celebrity participated in the assault that night, but he was not named in the suit. In an amended complaint, Jay-Z was added as a defendant and immediately denied being involved in the alleged assault.RELATED CONTENT: Rapper G$ Lil Ronnie And 5-Year-Old Daughter Fatally Shot At Texas Car Wash; Police Hunting For Suspects
