In the ongoing legal battle, JAY-Z has intensified efforts to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by an anonymous woman, referred to as Jane Doe. The lawsuit alleges that JAY-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her at a post-2000 Video Music Awards party when she was 13 years old. JAY-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has submitted additional arguments asserting that the plaintiff’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, “got basic facts wrong” in the complaint.
Spiro highlights inconsistencies in Doe’s account, noting that her own father does not recall the events she described, which included a purported 10-hour roundtrip drive from Rochester to New York City to pick her up on the night of the alleged incident. Additionally, Spiro points out inaccuracies, such as Doe’s claim of conversing with a celebrity who was not in New York at the time. He argues that Buzbee should be sanctioned for either failing to verify Doe’s claims or knowingly filing a false lawsuit.
In response, Buzbee maintains that he conducted a thorough investigation before filing the lawsuit, including running a background check on the plaintiff and hiring a retired police detective to research and confirm aspects of her account. He contends that the defense’s motions are “frivolous” and emphasizes that “no one is above the law.”
This development marks the latest in a series of legal maneuvers as both parties prepare for the forthcoming court proceedings.
