In his ongoing attempt to distance himself from the illicit situation, Jay-Z has filed another motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed against him by a woman who alleges the super star rapper/entrepreneur, together with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, sexually assaulted her in 2000, when she was just thirteen years of age.
Claiming a series of inconsistencies in the woman’s account, on Wednesday (1.08,) the high profile musician’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, cited the Jane Doe accuser’s December 2024 interview with NBC News, during which time she admitted she had made “some mistakes” in the retelling of her story.
Spiro has further demanded the court sanction prosecution lawyer Tony Buzbee for not “adequately vetting the allegation” made by the plaintiff.
Born Shawn Carter, Jay-Z’s latest motion to dismiss includes the request to impose a monetary sanction or fee award against Buzbee and the Buzbee Law Firm for “alleging facts without a sufficient investigation or by failing to withdraw those allegations once it is clear that they are false or exceedingly unlikely to be true”.
In a statement shared with media outlets, Buzbee declared that he and his team would be addressing “the utter lack of merit with his filing with the Court, rather than with the press”.
