The mood against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z Over the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl in 2000 has been dismissed by the lawyer representing Jane Doe, according to a court application on Friday in New York.
The voluntary dismissal, reviewed by Amountwas submitted by the lawyers Tony Buzbee and Antigone Curis, claiming that Jane Doe who accused the musicians of sexual abuse “announces that the above action is voluntarily dismissed, with prejudice.” Since it was dismissed with prejudice, the suit cannot be refilled as in its present form.
Also the Roc Nation, the entertainment company owned by Jay-Zissued one statement Signed by Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) calls this a “victory.” In his statement, Jay-Z also says that this issue caused trauma for his wife and children.
“The volunteers, fictional and scary charges have been rejected,” he wrote. “This civil suit was
Without merits and never go anywhere. The fictional story they created was laughing, if not for the seriousness of claims. I would not wish for this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed. This 1-800 lawyer is allowed to archive a suit that hides behind Jane Doe, and when they quickly realize that the money will fail, they must go away without repercussions. The system has failed. The court must, of course, protect the victims, while the courts with the same ethical liability must protect the innocents from being accused without proof. May the truth prevail for all victims and the wrongly accused equally. “
Alex Spiro, Jay-Z’s lawyer, also gave an individual statement: “The false case against Jay-Z, who should never have been brought, has been dismissed with prejudice. By standing up for abominable and false accusations, Jay has done what few can – he drove back, he never settled, he never paid 1 red penny, he won and cleared his name. “
Representatives of Buzbee did not return immediately AmountRequest for comment.
A Jane Doe initially made an action against Combs in October and added Jay-Z’s name to the costume two months later. She claimed that Combs and Jay-Z raped her in 2000 after taking her to an MTV Music Video Awards After Party.
Jay-Z was quick to blow up the claims and stated that his lawyer was sent “blackmail” in an attempt to push him to resolve outside the court. He said it had the “opposite effect” and instead delayed him to reveal his accuser of “the fraud (they) is in a very public way.”
What followed was a blitz of court applications and a public back and forth between Jay-Z, Roc Nation and Buzbee. In December, Jane DOE gave an interview that injured her credibility when she claimed that “not all the facts are clear” in her reminder of the night’s events and said that “I have made some mistakes. I may have made a mistake when I identified.” Later The same month, a judge decided that she could continue anonymously in the trial against the rappers.
Last month, Jay-Z submitted a proposal to reject the ongoing trial after ensuring permissions from the US district judge Analisa Torres. The request claimed that there was a series of inconsistencies in the woman’s account.
While the case against Jay-Z has been dismissed, Combs faces dozens of moods that have been submitted during the past year.
Comb’s legal team responded to Friday’s termination and stated that the move was only “another confirmation that these moods are based on falsehoods, not facts.”
They continued: “For months, we have seen cases after the case has been added by individuals hiding behind anonymity, is driven forward by a lawyer who is more focused on media tubes than legal merit. Just like this claim, the others will fall apart because there is no truth to them. Sean Combs has never sexually attacked or operated anyone – man or woman, adult or less. No number of moods, sensationalized accusations or media theatri will change that reality. We will continue to fight these baseless claims and keep those responsible. This is just the first of many who will not hold up in a court. “
Combs has been in prison at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York since September 2024 on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. He has been denied the bail three times and will remain imprisoned until his trial on May 5, 2025, when it could be determined that he could face lives in prison.
