At 5:08 p.m., Pacific Time — According to Tony Buzbee, who is the one who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Jane Doe, TMZ… Earlier, Mr. Carter disputed that he was the one who filed the lawsuit against me and my company. He went so far as to file his baseless lawsuit under a fictitious name. What he fails to include in his most recent statement is that my company submitted a demand letter to his attorney on behalf of a purported victim, and that victim never requested a single dime from him. On the contrary, she just desired a mediation that was kept quiet. Mr. Carter has not only filed a lawsuit against me, but he has also attempted to intimidate and harass both myself and this client ever since I submitted the letter on her behalf. In contrast, his actions have had the opposite effect. She has gained confidence. It is quite admirable how determined she is.
5:00 p.m., Pacific Time — TMZ has been informed by Diddy’s legal team that… “This amended complaint and the recent extortion lawsuit against Mr. Buzbee expose his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs that have been filed against him. In accordance with what his legal team has said in the past, Mr. Combs is completely confident in the truth of the facts and the honesty of the judicial process. According to the reality, Mr. Combs never sexually abused or trafficked anybody, regardless of their gender, whether they were adults or minors. This will be proven in court.
Jay-Z has been accused of drugging and raping a girl who is 13 years old, according to a lawsuit that is connected to the disgraced rapper Diddy. The music mogul is referring to this particular case as “a blackmail attempt.”
Jay-Z is mentioned by an unnamed complainant in the papers that were acquired by TMZ. The accuser claims that the rapper and Diddy conspired to drug and sexually assault her in the year 2000.
According to the complainant, who is suing under the name Jane Doe, the alleged attack took place during an after party that took place after the MTV Video Music Awards presentation.
In the first complaint that the accuser filed against Diddy in October, she said that she had been assaulted by the founder of Bad Boy Records, as well as an unidentified celebrity, while an anonymous female was there and watching.
Jay-Z has been listed as the second celebrity involved in the alleged assault by the accuser, who has now re-filed her complaint against Diddy to add the rapper known for his song “Empire State of Mind” on Sunday when she did so.
In response to the lawsuit, representatives for Jay-Z have issued a statement from the rap mogul, in which he expresses his determination “to expose [the accuser] for the fraud [they] are.”
Continuing, he said, “The only thing that breaks my heart is for my family.” We will have to sit down with our children, one of whom is at an age when her peers will undoubtedly see the news and ask questions about the nature of these accusations, as well as explain the brutality and selfishness of individuals. My wife, Beyonce, and I will have to do this. A further loss of innocence is something that I grieve. Children should not be forced to go through anything like that at such a young age. To have to make an effort to comprehend inconceivable levels of evil that are intended to ruin families and the human spirit is an unreasonable obligation.
A number of sexual assault complaints have been filed against Diddy, who was arrested and charged on counts of racketeering and sex trafficking back in September. These allegations are being brought forth in a variety of cases.
In the past, he has refuted each and every claim that has been leveled against him.
It was NBC News that broke the news of the updated lawsuit right away.
