Surprising Court Declaration
The woman identified as Jane Doe filed a new formal statement in the American courts, confirming that all rape allegations against Shawn Carter, known as Jay-Z, and Sean Combs, aka Diddy, were fabricated. She clarified that she had never seen or spoken to the rapper in her entire life.
What Was Admitted
In the document filed on Thursday, Jane Doe explicitly wrote that Carter never committed any inappropriate act against her. The allegations that both artists had raped her at age 13, after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, with a third celebrity present, were described by her as completely false.
Origin of the Lawsuit and Withdrawal
The initial lawsuit was filed in 2024 and withdrawn in February 2025. Jay-Z responded by suing the accuser and her lawyers, calling the case an extortion attempt. The new statement removes Jane Doe from the rapper’s lawsuit.
Jay-Z’s Position and Impact
Jay-Z, married to Beyoncé, stated that the episode caused deep suffering for his family. He vehemently denied any involvement and continues to seek accountability from the lawyers who handled the case, including Tony Buzbee.
Accuser’s Account of the Beginning
Jane Doe said she saw a Facebook ad in 2024 seeking victims of sexual abuse involving Diddy. According to her, the post triggered false memories and she never received a prior copy of the petition before it was filed. She also denied being threatened or receiving any payment to change her story.
- She did not receive money from Carter or people connected to him
- She was not intimidated by the rapper’s investigators
- She accused the lawyers of failing to investigate the facts before filing the lawsuit
