Shawn « Jay-Z » Carter is suing the woman who dropped a rape lawsuit against him
Shawn « Jay-Z » Carter has filed a defamation lawsuit against the unidentified woman who withdrew her rape lawsuit against the hip-hop mogul, alleging that the woman and her legal team made « false and malicious claims” to extort the rapper for financial gain.
Carter’s lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in Alabama, accuses the woman and her attorneys, Tony Buzbee and David Fortney, of being « soullessly motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency », The New York Times reported.
The suit also states that because of the woman’s claims, Carter has faced reputational harm, resulting in Roc Nation losing more than $20 million.
« Doe has now voluntarily admitted directly to representatives of Mr. Carter that the story brought before the world in court and on global television was just that: a false, malicious story », the lawsuit reads.
