\n\tJay-Z<\/a> 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<\/a> but then later admitted inconsistencies in her story and voluntarily dismissed<\/a> her lawsuit last month.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his new lawsuit filed Monday and obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>, Jay-Z says the woman and her lawyers \u2014 Tony Buzbee and David Fortney \u2014 engaged in an \u201cevil conspiracy\u201d to extort him with the \u201ccompletely fabricated\u201d and \u201cwildly horrific\u201d claim that he raped Doe alongside Combs in 2000. The woman first revealed her claim in an October lawsuit<\/a> that alleged Combs and an unidentified male celebrity took turns violently 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<\/a>, naming Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, as the male celebrity.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Carter\u2019s 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. That NBC interview maintained Doe\u2019s anonymity but exposed several notable discrepancies in her account. For instance, while the woman claimed she met musician Benji Madden at the same party, it turns out Madden was in another state on tour at the time. Doe\u2019s father also disputed her claim that he picked her up in a vehicle after the alleged assault. The father said he lived far upstate at the time and would have remembered driving more than five hours to retrieve his daughter.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDoe has now 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,\u201d Carter\u2019s new lawsuit claims. \u201cShe has admitted that Mr. Carter did not assault her; and that indeed it was Buzbee himself \u2013 whom she met for the first time at a coffee shop in Houston on the day of her maliciously false NBC News interview \u2013 who pushed her to go forward with the false narrative of the assault by Mr. Carter in order to leverage a maximum payday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBuzbee said in a statement to Rolling Stone, <\/em>\u201cThis new case which alleges the same thing as another one he pieces together and filed in Los Angeles also has no legal merit. Shawn Carter\u2019s investigators have repeatedly harassed, threatened and harangued this poor woman for weeks trying to intimidate her and make her recant her story. She won\u2019t. Instead she has stated repeatedly she stands by her claims. These same group of investigators have been caught on tape offering to pay people to sue me and my firm. This is just another attempt to intimidate and bully this poor woman that we will deal with in due course. We won\u2019t be bullied or intimidated by frivolous cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAttempts to reach Fortney were not immediately successful Monday. Buzbee previously denied any wrongdoing in court filings opposing separate extortion and defamation claims filed against him by Carter in Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n

\n\tA prominent Texas lawyer who has boasted he\u2019s collected more than $10 billion in damages for his clients,\u00a0Buzbee made a splashy entrance into the fray of civil litigation against Combs<\/a>\u00a0last September. At a press conference streamed online, he announced he had more than 120 clients with allegedly credible claims against Combs who went through a \u201cstringent\u201d vetting process. He has since filed more than two dozen lawsuits against the Bad Boy Records founder who\u2019s currently in federal custody fighting criminal charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking<\/a>. (Combs has vehemently denied all accusations of sexual assault and criminal conduct.)<\/p>\n

\n\tCarter\u2019s new lawsuit repeats the allegation that Buzbee\u2019s firm sent him an \u201cextortionate\u201d demand letter on Nov. 5, 2024, requesting a private mediation ahead of a planned lawsuit. Carter claims the letter threatened financial and personal devastation if he didn\u2019t work out a deal to \u201csilence\u201d Doe.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, a Los Angeles judge said he was on the verge of dismissing Carter\u2019s extortion claim against Buzbee unless Carter could produce additional evidence. It wasn\u2019t immediately clear Monday if the alleged new statement from Doe would be admissible in that case. The California judge said Carter\u2019s related defamation claim against Buzbee appeared strong enough<\/a> to proceed toward a trial. The judge took the matter under submission, promising a ruling on Buzbee\u2019s dismissal motion soon.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a sworn statement filed in the Los Angeles case last month, Carter said it was no exaggeration that he viewed Buzbee\u2019s promise to name him in the rape lawsuit as an \u201cexistential threat\u201d to his reputation, career, and family. \u201cI felt that Mr. Buzbee was placing a gun to my head that I either bow to his demands or endure personal and financial ruin. His actions caused me mental anguish about the ticking time bomb and what it would do to me, my family, and my hard-earned reputation,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt was incredibly painful for my wife and me to sit down with our children, one of whom is at an age where her friends would surely see the press and ask questions about these claims, and explain this. I mourn this loss of innocence for my children, including one who is around the age that the female minor claims to have been when she falsely claims that these heinous acts happened. I am heartbroken that my children have to endure hearing these things about their father, especially at their young age.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCarter claimed that after Buzbee went public with the \u201cfalse accusations,\u201d his company Roc Nation lost contracts worth $20 million per year. He also questioned the timing of the amended complaint filed in early December. \u201cI was harshly criticized by others for accompanying my daughter to the premiere of her movie (Mufasa: The Lion King<\/em>) a day after Mr. Buzbee filed the Jane Doe lawsuit against me. Media outlets reported that Disney was hesitant over my attendance at the premiere because of the accusations,\u201d Carter said. \u201cI feel that Mr. Buzbee purposely filed this lawsuit on the eve of my daughter\u2019s premiere to put me in the position of having to choose between supporting my daughter or hiding to avoid the negative press coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his new lawsuit filed in federal court in Alabama, Carter again mentioned damage to his family and reputation as well as the alleged $20 million in lost business for Roc Nation. He also included claims for abuse of process and civil conspiracy and is seeking real and punitive damages with the new complaint.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDefendants acted with malice in pursuing and initiating the meritless lawsuit against Mr. Carter,\u201d the filing reads. \u201cDefendants devised and executed their plan to accuse Mr. Carter of sexual assault and used national news and media outlets to disseminate the fabricated accusations to millions despite the falsity of the accusation. Defendants\u2019 actions were willful and purposeful in order to maximize the reputational harm to Mr. Carter and induce Mr. Carter to pay them. At a minimum, they initiated the lawsuit with a reckless disregard for the falsity of the allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new lawsuit claims Buzbee\u2019s firm failed to adequately vet Jane Doe. Without naming her, the filing says that less than 90 days before the demand letter was issued, Doe had been in court on mental health-related issues and charged with assault in the second degree. It further alleges she \u201chas several mental health disorders and takes multiple medications according to testimony from her psychiatrist laid bare in public court records.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
