Want to know like what is going on with Jay Z recently, and what’s the Jay Z Lawsuit Update? Well, here’s the story. You see, this case is from the year 2000, immediately after the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City. Back then, some anonymous woman, who goes by “Jane Doe”, says that something terrible happened to her that night. Like, she said that Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and raped her at an afterparty. What makes this even crazier? When the incident happened, she claims she was just 13. Insane!!
Now, years later, we’re seeing her sue Jay-Z publically, and sure enough, he is fighting back hard to dismiss all the claims and allegations made against him. Let’s see what is really going on right now.
Jane Doe’s Side of the Story
As per the details that are already out, Jane Doe says that, on the night of the VMAs, she met a limo driver who took her to an afterparty. At the party, she says that they gave her drinks that were drugged and she was then raped by Jay-Z and Diddy. She says the entire thing freaked her out so much that she was able to call her dad to pick her up.
Sure enough, there’s a lot of detail in her story about what happened that night and they are serious allegations. But Jay-Z’s lawyers are questioning if the woman’s story is checking out unless they have proof.
Jay-Z’s Side of the Story
Well, by far now, Jay-Z has rejected all the claims by the woman. He and his lawyers are fighting aggressively to get the case thrown out of court. They claimed multiple portions present incoherence in the story of Jane Doe.
Like, for instance, Jane Doe said there was a jumbotron outside the VMAs, so she was able to watch the show. But, there was no jumbotron that year, according to Jay-Z’s team. Like, then, she said her dad drove to New York City to pick her up, but apparently, her dad doesn’t even remember driving there.
Lawyers of Jay-Z are also targeting Jane Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee. You know, they claim that he didn’t check the facts before filing the case and it is also requested to penalize him for filing what they term as a “frivolous” lawsuit.
What’s the Judge Saying?
In this case, the judge Analisa Torres is not on fire actually. Like, you won’t know Jane Doe’s real name because the Judge has decided so for now as she’s going to keep it anonymous.
Keep in mind though that she’s also giving a hard time to Jay-Z’s lawyer. The judge is saying that Jay-Z is filing too many aggressive motions that are a waste of the court’s time and not that helpful in Jay-Z’s case at all. She’s also said this case is very complicated and she’s not an expert in speeding up case proceedings.
What About Diddy Then?
See, Diddy’s also called out in this lawsuit, and he actually has some other ongoing legal issues right now. As we all know by this point, he is facing a number of lawsuits that claim he sexually assaulted or, in some cases, sex trafficked the client. His legal team is saying that none of these accusations are true and that people are simply trying to get money from a rich star like him.
