Jay-Z sues woman over allegedly falsifying rape allegation
Rapper claims woman and her lawyers knowingly proceeded with false claim that he and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs raped her when she was 13
Jay-Z is suing the anonymous woman who in February withdrew a lawsuit accusing the rapper of rape, claiming that she and her lawyers knowingly proceeded with a false claim.
Jay-Z (AKA Shawn Carter) said that the woman, referred to as Jane Doe in the suit, admitted to his representatives that she had falsified her account of Jay-Z and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs raping her when she was 13, at an afterparty for the 2000 MTV Video Music awards. His suit, filed in Alabama, where she lives, names both the woman and her lawyers Tony Buzbee and David Fortney.
Lawyers for Jay-Z said that the woman “voluntarily admitted directly to representatives of Mr Carter that the story brought before the world in court and on global television was just that: a false, malicious story”.
