Jay-Z and Diddy sexual assault lawsuit dropped

Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2000 has voluntarily withdrawn her lawsuit, according to a court document filed on Friday (February 14).The suit was first filed back in December by Jane Doe, who alleged she was sexually assaulted by both artists at a VMA after-party.The anonymous accuser filed papers later obtained by Rolling Stone informing the court that she was withdrawing her complaint with prejudice, meaning she could not file it again.Attorneys for Combs – who was arrested and charged with crimes including sexual trafficking and racketeering last September and is currently in a federal jail awaiting trial – told the publication there was no settlement between the parties. Combs has consistently denied all allegations raised against him.Roc Nation founder Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, has continually denied the “heinous” accusation after Doe named him in an amended complaint in December, and had previously hit out at his accuser’s lawyer for “getting basic facts wrong”.Last month, Carter filed a memo with additional arguments to dismiss the suit, having previously filed a motion to dismiss it, with his lawyers requesting a monetary sanction be placed on Texan attorney Tony Buzbee – the lawyer representing Jane Doe – alleging that he failed to adequately investigate the woman’s allegations before he filed the lawsuit.Buzbee declined to comment on the dismissal, per Rolling Stone.In a statement shared with NME today, the ‘Empire State Of Mind’ artist called the news a “victory.”“The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed,” Carter said.

Diddy allegedly made creepy remark before raping 13-year-old with Jay-Z, lawsuit claims
Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z have been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.In an amended civil complaint, a woman identified as Jane Doe alleges she was raped by Combs, 55, and Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, during the party at a New York City residence. The accuser is now in her late 30s.The complaint, which was obtained by The Post, also claims the assault happened while an unnamed female celebrity watched.According to the document, the accuser was invited to the after-party by a limousine driver who claimed to work for the artist and told Jane Doe that the mogul liked younger girls and “fit what Diddy was looking for.” Prior to their interaction, she claimed she had been standing outside of Radio City Music Hall trying to get inside the VMAs and walking up to limousines that were dropping guests off at the venue.The plaintiff, who was 13 at the time of the alleged incident, alleged that she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement when she arrived at the after-party and alleges she was later given a drink that she believes was drugged.The plaintiff claimed she was approached by Combs during the party, and he had a “crazed look in his eyes” as he allegedly told her, “You are ready to party!” according to the complaint.The accuser further alleged that Combs threw her toward a wall, where she fell down.
