Jay-Z Challenges Anonymity of Sexual Assault Accuser Amid Legal Battle


Recommended Posts

Jay-Z, the hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur, has asked a judge to reject a request for anonymity from a woman who accused him and Sean "Diddy" Combs of raping her when she was 13 years old in 2000. The lawsuit, filed under the name "Jane Doe," alleges that the assault occurred following an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty.  

 

Alex Spiro, Jay-Z's attorney, argued in court filings that the accuser’s anonymity undermines efforts to address the veracity of her claims. "It is not consistent with justice, fairness or the rules governing federal proceedings for the Plaintiff and her counsel to smear Defendant’s good name in ways that are calculated to feed media coverage and thus inflict maximum public relations damage while the core fact of Plaintiff’s identity … remains wholly hidden from view," Spiro stated. He added that Jay-Z is seeking either a dismissal of the case or a disclosure of the plaintiff’s identity.

Tony Buzbee, the attorney representing the accuser, dismissed Spiro’s claims of extortion and defended the legal approach taken in the case. “Anyone that suggests that a demand letter, especially the one that I sent, is extortion or blackmail, is foolish,” Buzbee said in an interview. He also emphasized that attempts to discredit him would not detract from the allegations against Jay-Z.

The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleges that the accuser was driven to a house party after being told by a limousine driver that she "fit what Diddy was looking for." At the party, described as being filled with celebrities and illicit drug use, she claims she was given a drink that made her feel disoriented. According to the suit, she later went to a room to rest, where Jay-Z and Combs allegedly raped her while an unnamed female celebrity watched.  

 

Jay-Z has strongly denied the allegations, describing them as “idiotic” and calling for criminal rather than civil proceedings if the claims were true. “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” he said in a statement.  

 

Meanwhile, Buzbee has filed multiple lawsuits against Combs, who is also facing federal charges for racketeering, sex trafficking, and other offenses. Combs, currently in custody in Brooklyn and awaiting trial in May, has denied the allegations. His legal team labeled the lawsuits as "shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them."  

 

The lawsuit against Jay-Z and Combs includes claims that the accuser signed a nondisclosure agreement to enter the party, which was held at a house with a U-shaped driveway. Following the alleged assault, she reportedly escaped, contacted her father, and is now seeking unspecified damages under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.  

 

Both defendants have refuted the claims, with the case continuing to unfold under intense public scrutiny.

I suspect Jay-Z's problems are only just beginning.

 

Interesting that two of his BFF's on the way up were R Kelly and P Diddy. You can tell a lot about someone by the company they keep.

Give it 2 me. He has always fostered a culture of mutual respect and dignity for women in particular and all people in general. unless you are white or a cop.

Jay Z's wife Beyoncé. listen to the lyrics. "Put some neck and some back up on it." that's describing oral and anal sex in a gonzo style. That's slim thug and not Jay-z but it isn't much of a stretch to figure out what they did with Diddy. 

 

Beyoncé is basically the same as Ghilsaine Maxwell

I have no idea as to Jay Z's innocence or guilt, but on that I agree. IMO it's a travesty that the accused is identified without a conviction, while the accuser, who may be lying, is granted anonymity.

Watch how few comments there are on this thread as 90% of AN members think Jay-z is jive talk for Charleston jazzy number sung by the minstrals

More like they have no interest in yet another prominent person being accused by someone with profit to gain.

Don't know if you are being facetious or serious, but if rappers words are indicative of their opinion of women I doubt he cares much beyond his own benefit.

 

NB. I am not familiar with his words, just rappers in general, as I unfortunately overhear on occasion.

Jay-Z was added to the lawsuit, first reported by NBC, that was originally filed in October as one of several anonymous complaints by Buzbee.

 

Many of the lawsuits did not survive because the plaintiffs declined to be named; however, in this case, the judge said the then-13-year-old showed sufficient cause to continue anonymously.

I wasn't aware of her age at the claimed time of incident, but one wonders what a 13 year old was doing at a adult stranger's house for a party. Surely grounds for prosecuting the parents for being very bad parents.

The story (closely) is that she went to and tried to crash the 2000 Grammy awards at Radio City and was spotted by a limo driver for one of the named accused. She was invited to and claims she signed a non-disclosure agreement to get into the afterhours party. She then eventually escaped the premises and called her father from a nearby gas station.

Just me guessing a lot of this depends on the credibility of the father as to contemporaneously receiving a call from his daughter.

I'm not disputing what you said, but if a 13 year old jumps into a car driven by a stranger and goes to an unknown destination at night time and signs a paper that she obviously didn't understand ( and is not of legal age anyway so it's null and void ), she must either be as thick as 4 short planks, or have a death wish, IMO.

It seems somewhat suggestive.

Means 'during the same period of time'.
