Jay-Z Seeks Dismissal of Rape Lawsuit by Jane Doe Amid Inconsistencies
Dec 14, 2024, 04:00 PM
Jay-Z has responded to a lawsuit filed by an Alabama woman, referred to as Jane Doe, who accused him and Sean 'Diddy' Combs of raping her when she was 13 years old at an after-party following the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. Jane Doe recounted the incident as a 'catastrophic event' involving a limousine ride, being drugged, and the alleged assault. However, her story has been called into question due to several inconsistencies. She claimed her father picked her up after the assault, but he does not recall the event. Additionally, she mentioned speaking to Benji Madden of Good Charlotte at the party, but representatives confirmed the band was on tour in the Midwest at the time. Despite these discrepancies, Jane Doe stands by her allegations. Jay-Z, through his attorney Alex Spiro, has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, labeling it as a 'false complaint' filed for 'money and fame.' The woman's attorney, Tony Buzbee, has acknowledged the inconsistencies but insists on continuing to vet her claims, stating that she has agreed to a polygraph test.
