Jay-Z, Diddy Deny Sexual Assault Allegations as Accuser Admits Inconsistencies

Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs are pushing back against serious allegations of sexual assault made by a woman who claims the two attacked her when she was 13 at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, admitted to inconsistencies in her story, though she stands by her allegations.

The woman alleged she was driven from Rochester, New York, to New York City for the VMAs and later attended an after-party. According to her, she was offered a ride by Combs’ limousine driver and arrived at the party, where she spoke with musicians Benji Madden and his brother. She claimed she was drugged at the party and later sexually assaulted by Jay-Z, Combs, and an unnamed celebrity.

The story has drawn skepticism after representatives for the Madden brothers confirmed they were on tour in the Midwest during the VMAs. Additionally, the woman’s father said he doesn’t recall the more than five-hour drive home from New York City, casting further doubt on her account.

Jay-Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, responded firmly in a statement, criticizing Tony Buzbee, the woman’s attorney. “This incident didn’t happen and yet he filed it in court and doubled down in the press,” he said. “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.”

Buzbee, a Houston-based personal injury lawyer representing 120 alleged victims of sexual misconduct against Combs, defended his actions, stating that it is his team’s responsibility to investigate any new claims as they arise. He previously denied accusations of blackmail by Jay-Z, calling such claims “stupid and laughable.”

Combs, currently awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, also denied the allegations through his attorney, Teny R. Geragos. “Yesterday, a lawyer admitted that over 50 people falsely claimed to be victims. Today, for the second time this week, a Buzbee plaintiff has been exposed. This is the beginning of the end of this shameful money grab,” Geragos said.

The woman’s original lawsuit accused Combs of sexual assault, but she amended it last week to include Jay-Z. She admitted to making “some mistakes” in recalling events but insisted the core of her story remains true. According to her lawsuit, she was made to sign a nondisclosure agreement while in the limousine before being drugged at the party. She claims the assault occurred in a bedroom where she had gone to rest.

Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has filed a motion to dismiss the case, calling it “stunning” that such a serious complaint would be filed without proper vetting. “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,” Spiro said.

Both Jay-Z and Combs are icons of the hip-hop world, credited with building vast empires that extend far beyond music. Jay-Z, with an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion, has been a major figure in the industry, collaborating with Combs on music and business ventures over the years.

The legal challenges come as Combs faces mounting accusations, with Buzbee’s firm filing numerous lawsuits and establishing a toll-free hotline for alleged victims. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges, was denied bail for the third time and is set to face trial in May.

As the legal battles unfold, the allegations raise questions about the legitimacy of the claims and the broader wave of lawsuits filed against high-profile figures in the entertainment industry.
