A lawsuit filed against Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs by a woman who alleged she was raped when she was 13 has been withdrawn. The woman, now an adult, refiled the lawsuit in December to name Jay-Z, but acknowledged inconsistencies in her account. Both Jay-Z and Combs have denied any wrongdoing, with Jay-Z stating that “this incident didn’t happen.” After the suit was withdrawn, Jay-Z and Combs expressed relief, stating the allegations were false and without merit.
The woman claimed she was sexually assaulted outside the Video Music Awards in New York City in 2000 after being invited to an after-party by a limo driver. Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, praised Jay-Z for standing up against the false allegations, while Combs’ legal team also expressed vindication by the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee.
Combs currently faces criminal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty. He has also been sued by multiple people alleging sexual misconduct, which his lawyers have denied. Jay-Z, on the other hand, has not been accused of any crime.
In a statement, Jay-Z criticized the legal system for allowing the lawsuit to be brought and then dropped without repercussions, emphasizing the importance of protecting both victims and the innocent from false accusations. Jay-Z expressed hope that the truth would prevail for all victims and those falsely accused.
