Jay-Z Files Lawsuit Against Former Sexual Assault Accuser, Claims Jane Doe Admitted to Fabricating Story

Jay-Z isn’t backing down. The hip-hop titan has filed a lawsuit against Jane Doe, her attorneys, and their law firm after Doe dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against him and Sean "Diddy" Combs earlier this year. The allegations, Jay-Z claims, were nothing short of a calculated, malicious attack on his character.

According to legal documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Jay-Z's team described the original lawsuit as "false, malicious, strategically and tactically calculated and timed to inflict maximum pain and suffering on Mr. Carter." The suit accuses Doe's lawyers, Anthony Buzbee and David Fortney, of being motivated by greed and disregarding both truth and decency in their pursuit of the case.

The bombshell claims don’t stop there. The lawsuit alleges that Jane Doe admitted to Buzbee that Jay-Z hadn’t sexually assaulted her but was encouraged to press forward with the case for financial gain. This admission reportedly followed an extortion demand letter sent to Jay-Z—a detail that seems straight out of a legal drama, only real.

Buzbee, however, has fired back, claiming that Jay-Z’s legal team has been harassing his client to intimidate her into recanting her story. He asserted, "Shawn Carter’s investigators have repeatedly harassed, threatened, and harangued this poor woman for weeks... She hasn’t, and won’t [recant her claims]." He also called the allegations in Jay-Z’s lawsuit "frivolous" and said his team would address them in due course.

Jay-Z’s team, however, stands by their assertion that Doe voluntarily admitted to fabricating her accusations. The rapper is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages, signaling that he’s ready to fight this all the way to the courtroom.

After Doe dropped her lawsuit, Jay-Z released a statement calling the withdrawal a "victory." He added, "The frivolous, fictitious, and appalling allegations have been dismissed. The trauma that my wife, my children, my loved ones, and I have endured can never be dismissed." He also criticized the legal system for allowing such cases to proceed without repercussions for those making false claims.

The original lawsuit accused Jay-Z and Diddy of raping a minor at an MTV VMAs after-party in 2000. While the claims were sensational, they were ultimately withdrawn with prejudice, which means they cannot be refiled.

One thing is clear: Jay-Z isn’t just looking to clear his name—he’s aiming to send a message. "The courts must protect the innocent from being accused without a shred of evidence," he said. Whether this case leads to systemic change or just more headlines remains to be seen.
