The Fallout
Jay-Z Files Lawsuit Against Rape Accuser
Superstar rapper Jay-Z has filed a hard-hitting new defamation and malicious prosecution lawsuit against the Alabama-based Jane Doe who publicly accused him of a sexual assault involving Sean Combs but then later admitted inconsistencies in her story and voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit last month.
In his new lawsuit filed Monday and obtained by Unionjournalism, Jay-Z says the woman and her lawyers — Tony Buzbee and David Fortney — engaged in an “evil conspiracy” to extort him with the “completely fabricated” and “wildly horrific” claim that he raped Doe alongside Combs in 2000.
The woman first revealed her claim in an October lawsuit that alleged Combs and an unidentified male celebrity took turns raping her at an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13 years old. She filed a revised version of her lawsuit on Dec. 8, 2024, naming Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, as the male celebrity.
According to Carter’s new lawsuit, representatives for the Grammy-winning rapper made direct contact with Doe recently, and she allegedly admitted she concocted her claim about Carter and felt pressured by her legal team to repeat it during an on-camera interview with NBC News in mid-December.
