Jay-Z, is reacting to a new report from his rape accuser where she acknowledges she has “made some mistakes” recalling the allegations.
The accuser, a woman from Alabama, said Jay-Z and Diddy raped her when she was 13 years old sat down with NBC News to recount what she called a “catastrophic event”: a limo ride to a white house, a drink that made her feel woozy, a sexual assault by rap stars that would ruin her life.
However, in the interview, the accuser admitted that there are inconsistencies in her allegations.
“I have made some mistakes,” she told NBC News.
Despite those mistakes, the Jane Doe accuser maintains that the overall allegations are true. One claim she made was that her father picked her up following the alleged assault but her father doesn’t remember that.
The woman also claims she spoke to a celebrity at the after-party where she said she was sexually assaulted, but that celebrity said he was not in New York at that time. And images from that evening show Jay-Z and Diddy at a different location than the one the woman described, although their whereabouts for the entire evening are unclear.
Her attorney, Tony Buzbee assured that he and his team are continuing to vet her claims according NBC News.
“Jane Doe’s case was referred to our firm by another, who vetted it prior to sending it to us,” he told NBC News in an email. “Our client remains fiercely adamant that what she has stated is true, to the best of her memory. We will continue to vet her claims and collect corroborating data to the extent it exists. Because we have interrogated her intensely, she has even agreed to submit to a polygraph. I’ve never had a client suggest that before.”
“In any event,” he added, “we always do our best to vet each claim made, just as we did in this case. This has been extremely distressing for her, to the point she has experienced seizures and had to seek medical treatment due to the stress.”
Jay-Z Responds
“Today’s investigative report proves this ‘attorney’ Buzbee filed a false complaint against me in the pursuit of money and fame,” Carter said in a statement shared by his company Roc Nation. “This incident didn’t happen and yet he filed it in court and doubled down in the press.”
He continued, “True Justice is coming. We fight FROM victory, not FOR victory. This was over before it began. This 1-800 lawyer doesn’t realize it yet, but, soon.”
