Jay-Z sues woman who accused him of rape

NEW YORK, N.Y. () — Jay-Z has filed a defamation lawsuit against the woman who named him, along with Sean combs, in a now withdrawn lawsuit claiming they raped her when she was 13 years old. The hip-hop mogul has consistently denied those allegations, as has Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The lawsuit, which also names her lawyers, claims they “were soullessly motivated by greed” and made false and defamatory statements about him for financial gain. The woman, only identified as Jane Doe, withdrew her lawsuit last month with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.

She added Jay-Z as a defendant in December, two months after the suit was filed against Combs in Federal Court in New York City.

In the lawsuit, she alleged the two men raped her in 2000 when she was 13 at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in Manhattan. Jay-Z’ lawsuit cites inconsistencies in the woman’s account that were reported by NBC News. She told NBC News during an interview that after the incident, she called her father for a ride home to Rochester. But her father says he did not recall making that five-plus-hour drive to pick her up.

When NBC News presented her with the inconsistencies in December, the woman said, “I have made some mistakes” in recollections of that night, but she said she stood by her allegations overall.

But Jay-Z vehemently denied them from the beginning and said, “The trauma that my wife, my children, my loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.” Jay-Z is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages
