Lawyer Tony Buzbee released a statement alleging that Jay-Z is ‘harassing’ his family after filing a civil lawsuit that accused the rapper of rape
Lawyer Tony Buzbee is claiming Jay-Z is “harassing” his family after filing a civil lawsuit that accused the rapper of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000.
Buzbee alleged that he intends to address those issues in court. “Let me be clear: We will not be bullied or intimidated by these shenanigans,” he concluded. “And our clients won’t be silenced.”News broke on Sunday, December 8, that Jay-Z, 55, and Sean “Diddy” Combs were named as defendants in a civil lawsuit that accused them of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old. Identified as Jane Doe in the docs, the woman claimed the assault occurred at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000.
Jay-Z claimed his lawyer received a “blackmail attempt called a demand letter” from Buzbee. “What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” the rapper said. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”
“Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He even filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What he fails to say in his recent statement is my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never demanded a penny from him,” Buzbee told the outlet, accusing Jay-Z of being the anonymous male celebrity who filed a lawsuit against him last month.
While asking the court to disclose the identity of Jane Doe publicly, Jay-Z claimed that Buzbee created an “extortionate campaign” against him for several months.
