Jay-Z Sues Rape Accuser and Her Lawyers, Claims They Knew Accusation Was False

The rape case against Jay-Z may have been dismissed, but he isn’t done with the case — or, at least, the people who brought it against him.

According to The New York Times, the Reasonable Doubt rapper filed a lawsuit against the anonymous woman and her lawyers yesterday. In it, he claims that the woman, who accused himself and Diddy of raping her as a 13-year-old after the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000, lied about the accusation, and that she told the lawyers as much.

Jay-Z’s team says that the woman “voluntarily admitted directly to representatives of Mr. Carter that the story brought before the world in court and on global television was just that: a false, malicious story.”

This news arrives after the initial rape case was withdrawn. While the claims were shocking, the accuser herself used an NBC interview to admit that there were inconsistencies in her recounting of events. The suit was dismissed weeks later.

In a statement, her attorney, Tony Buzbee, suggested there was no validity to Jay-Z’s suit, writing, “This is just another attempt to intimidate and bully this poor woman that we will deal with in due course. We won’t be bullied or intimidated by frivolous cases.”

Stay tuned for more details in the case.
