Jay-Z Accused of Sexually Assaulting 13-Year-Old

A woman who alleges Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her has amended her lawsuit to include allegations that Jay-Z also assaulted her at the same party.

The lawsuit was initially filed against Combs in October, but on Sunday, December 8, the woman added Shawn Carter, the rapper and businessman known as Jay-Z, as a defendant in the civil lawsuit.

Carter is the first celebrity to be accused of sexual assault in connection to Combs.

Combs was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and prostitution-related charges. Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and has denied all wrongdoing in roughly 30 civil lawsuits that have been filed against him.

The woman, who is identified as a Jane Doe, says she was 13 years old at the time she was allegedly assaulted by Combs and Carter at an after-party following the Video Music Awards in 2000.

The woman alleges she began to feel woozy after consuming a drink at the party and wandered into a nearby bedroom. The woman alleges Carter raped her first, followed by Combs.

The woman says she hit Combs and ran out of the party, according to the amended lawsuit.

Carter was identified in the initial lawsuit as Celebrity A.

According to the lawsuit, the Doe’s attorneys reached out to Carter to request “a mediation to resolve this matter.”

“Upon present information and belief, Jay-Z responded to the said letter by not only filing an utterly frivolous lawsuit but by also orchestrating a conspiracy of harassment, bullying, and intimidation against Plaintiff’s lawyers, their families, employees, and former associates in an attempt to silence Plaintiff from naming Jay-Z herein.

“This effort was meant to scare Plaintiff and to discredit her counsel. That effort failed. Indeed, Plaintiff chose to file this amendment as a result of the egregious conduct perpetuated by Carter.”

Jay-Z Releases Statement Amid Allegations

Jay-Z released a statement after being accused in a lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl with Diddy.

In the statement, the 55-year-old hip-hop star denies the accusations and questions the attorney Tony Buzzbee associated with the lawsuit.

In his response, which was addressed to Doe’s attorney, Carter called the mediation request a “blackmail attempt.” Carter also said this lawyer, “who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these types of theatrics!”

“My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.

“No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”

Jay-Z

The lawsuit also alleges that while Carter and Comb took turns assaulting her, an unnamed female celebrity watched.

Jay-Z said these allegations are so “heinous in nature” that he implores the attorney to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one.

“Whoever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”

Jay-Z

In a statement from Buzbee, he wrote, “The pleading speaks for itself. This is a very serious matter that will be litigated in court.”

Jay-Z’s wife, Beyoncé Knowles, was also reached out for comment.

Jay-Z added in his statement that his “only heartbreak” is for his family.

“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people. I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age.”

Jay-Z

The rapper ended the statement by saying that the lawyer made a “terrible error in judgment thinking.”

According to him, he looks forward to showing how different he is.

“We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable.”
