Attorney Alex Buzbee files a lawsuit against Roc Nation, alleging that investigators attempted to pressure him into filing a baseless lawsuit. Buzbee claims the investigators posed as state investigators and offered him a large settlement in exchange for filing a claim against himself.
Attorney Alex Buzbee , known for representing a woman accusing Jay-Z of rape, has filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z 's company, Roc Nation , and its law firm, Quinn Emanuel. Buzbee alleges that Roc Nation investigators attempted to coerce him into filing a frivolous lawsuit against himself. He claims they approached him at his home, posing as state investigators, and offered him a substantial settlement in exchange for filing a baseless suit.
Buzbee recorded the encounter and claims one of the investigators identified herself as part of Team Roc, the philanthropic arm of Roc Nation. Buzbee filed the lawsuit for barratry, which refers to inducing someone to initiate a lawsuit without merit. He accuses Roc Nation and Quinn Emanuel of a history of abusive and egregious conduct. This lawsuit is the latest development in a bitter legal battle between Buzbee and Jay-Z. Garcia, Buzbee's client in this case, is suing Roc Nation, Quinn Emanuel, Marcy Croft, and one of the investigators for punitive damages, claiming he suffered harm. Roc Nation has dismissed the lawsuit as a 'sham' and a 'pathetic attempt to distract and deflect attention.
