Jay-Z has issued a fresh statement after the woman who accused him of sexual assault has admitted that there are inconsistencies in her account of the alleged incident.
Full story below…
In a major development, NBC News – who broke the story of the suit – sat down with the woman who fessed up to there being “mistakes” in her recollection of the evening she claims to have been r*ped by both Jay and Diddy.
While standing by her allegations (including the claim that she was 13 at the time of the alleged 2000 incident), she cast doubt on key corners of her own narrative.
She claims to have spoken to Benji Madden at the party where the alleged assault took place – yet he was on tour in the Midwest on that date.
In her filing, Jane Doe also claimed that her father picked her up from the location to drive her home.
Yet, her father – who was also interviewed for the feature – stressed that he doesn’t remember that occurring. A sentiment rendered all the more stunning when additional information was discovered. Specifically, the fact that their home address at the time of the alleged incident was five hours away.
The woman’s father told NBC News:
“I feel like I would remember that, and I don’t. I have a lot going on, but I mean, that’s something that would definitely stick in my mind.”
Reacting to the development, Jay-Z issued a statement. And – much like his condemnation of the lawsuit as a “blackmail attempt” – he didn’t hold back. He continued to slam the entire filing and Jane Doe’s attorney Tony Buzbee.
Jay wrote:
“Today’s investigative report proves this “attorney”
Buzbee filed a false complaint against me in the pursuit of money and fame.
This incident didn’t happen and yet he filed it in court and doubled down in the press.
True Justice is coming.
We fight FROM victory, not FOR victory.
This was over before it began.
This 1-800 lawyer doesn’t realize it yet, but, soon.”
Shawn Carter
Jay’s attorney Alex Spiro added:
“It is stunning that a lawyer would not only file such a serious complaint without proper vetting, but would make things worse by further peddling this false story in the press. We are asking the Court to dismiss this frivolous case today, and will take up the matter of additional discipline for Mr. Buzbee and all the lawyers that filed the complaint.”

Buzbee now claims he will continue to “vet” the accuser in an arguable pivot from the resolute stance demonstrated in the initial filing. By this, he presumably means the veracity of her claims. He said:
“Jane Doe’s case was referred to our firm by another, who vetted it prior to sending it to us,” he told NBC News in an email. “Our client remains fiercely adamant that what she has stated is true, to the best of her memory. We will continue to vet her claims and collect corroborating data to the extent it exists.”
As reported, Jay’s legal team has made various filings, including requests for the court to compel the accuser to reveal her name and for the case to be dismissed on several grounds. Said ground includes what they deem unscrupulous conduct on the part of Buzbee.
Sue them all, including jaguar.
I didn’t believe it!!! And I stand on that!!! I don’t believe that Jay is that kind of person. I just don’t see it.
He has an alleged son whose mother was 15 when she became pregnant when Jay was 24 – so itit’very possible that he’s exactly that sort of person.
I thought is was she was 16 and he was 22? All these years and she didnt sue for a DNA test? Give me a break. Another liar looking for coins. Mo money, mo problems. You really think Beyonce would marry a human who denies his son? Come on now! Stop believing all the BS that you read.
What a mess! Not sounding too good for Jane Doe at this point.
A person has the right to protect their name and reputation no matter who they are! It’s very sad what bloggers and social media has done too this world! Money is the root to all evil! I don’t believe this about JayZ at all! I am a spiritual person and I believe in the POWER OF PRAYER JUST LIKE TINA KNOWELS AND I KNOW SHE’S GOT HER SON IN LAW COVERED IN THE POWER OF PRAYER! GOD WILL EXPOSE ALL THESE DEVILS! THEY MESSIN’ WITH THE RIGHT ONE!
Who you praying to? Because your discernment is garbage.

Whether this story is true or not, hopefully real victims come out against him as his wife. They are cancers to the industry and have done terrible things to ppl through the years. Most of them legal. So if someone can fine a “legal” way to get rid of them, I am for it! He still has a grown son whose mother was underage when he got her pregnant and decided to be a dead beat.
Since all of this is so true come out and reveal yourself. No? I thought now. You people tell lies like cowards behind anonymous accounts and throw mean hurtful things about people that usually are not true. Lets see if you show who you are. If you’re woman enough to say it be woman enough to tell who you are. I didn’t think so.
I thought it was Whoopi Goldberg at first lol ????

Yeah he’s guilty. Birds of a feather. I’m guessing there’s a ton more he was involved in as well.
Idolatry is no good Yall. Best get right with Jesus.
It’s very sad and disgusting for people to lie and attempt to malign someone’s name, family and reputation. Sick! She tarnishes real victims who need justice. She and her lawyer deserves a counter suit for all the humiliation. Think of what these lies could have caused Mr. Carter and his family. Disgusting!
I wasn’t there but I never really believed this story. Jay Z moved away from street life decades ago, exemplified incredible disciplined, became well studied, did his work and continued as a man of business and formality. He was very smart from the beginning. He merely made good decisions and executed. While that doesn’t exclude people from wrong doing it certainly creates major credibility and respect.
Man that lame attr picked the wrong one. Jay Z is a smart man. A smart, street wise, business man. With long a** money. I believe I read all between those lines.
Buzzbee.
Did you see the movie ghost and what Whoopi told that woman?
