Jay-Z has filed a motion to dismiss the ongoing sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by a woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2000 when she was 13-years-old.
The alleged victim claims that the two music moguls sexually assaulted her after the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.
Now, Jay-Z filed a motion to have the case dropped. The request claims there are a series of inconsistencies in the woman’s account.
Jay-Z’s attorney Alex Spiro cited the woman’s interview with NBC News, where she acknowledged she had made “some mistakes” in the retelling of her story.
Spiro is claiming there are too many “inconsistencies and outright impossibilities” in the accuser’s allegations. He has argued that the Jane Doe’s lawyer Tony Buzbee is accusing Jay-Z of “a horrific crime without adequately vetting the allegation.” Buzbee already has a defamation case handed to him by Jay-Z and his team.
Jay-Z has repeatedly denied the harsh allegations against him and criticized the lawsuit, calling it a “blackmail attempt” by the plaintiff’s lawyer.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has denied all of the allegations against him as well, including this one. He is currently in jail on federal sex trafficking charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
