A woman who accused Jay-Z and Diddy of r@ping her at the age of 13 has acknowledged significant inconsistencies in her story, casting doubt on the validity of her claims.
The accuser, identified only as Jane Doe, alleged that the music moguls assaulted her during an after-party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
However, during the interview, she acknowledged discrepancies, including her claim of interacting with musician Benji Madden at the party, a claim Madden denied, stating he was not in New York City at the time.
She also mentioned her father picking her up afterward, but he reportedly has no recollection of the event.
Further adding to the doubts are photos from the night show Jay-Z and Diddy partying at the Lotus nightclub, but they do not provide any evidence of their whereabouts for the entire evening.
Despite these inconsistencies, the accuser maintained that the flaws in her story do not invalidate her claim, insisting, “Those flaws in the story don’t mean the rape didn’t happen.”
In response, Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, filed legal documents calling the accusations “a sham” and pointing out that key details in her account—such as the who, what, when, and where—were wrong.
He also criticized the accuser’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, for failing to verify the facts before filing the complaint.
Diddy’s legal team echoed Jay-Z’s response, describing the lawsuit as part of a broader pattern of false claims.
They pointed to a recent admission from Buzbee’s office that over 50 people had falsely claimed to be victims in other cases.
Both Jay-Z and Diddy’s teams are seeking to have the case dismissed, maintaining their innocence amid growing skepticism about the lawsuit’s credibility.
