Jay-Z’s sexual assault accuser is heard on tape claiming her lawyer pushed her to sue the rapper. She also says on the recording that her sexual assault allegations against Jay-Z were false.
Jay-Z’s accuser is heard on tape saying that her previous sexual assault allegations against the rapper were false, according to Jay-Z’s lawyer.
The accuser, Jane Doe, previously said Jay-Z and Sean „Diddy“ Combs sexually assaulted her after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13 years old. The lawsuit has since been dropped.
In a taped conversation, Jay-Z’s sexual assault accuser claimed her lawyer, Tony Buzbee, pressured her into suing the rapper.
„But Jay-Z … you’re saying he was definitely there? But he had no part in it?“ one private investigator said in the recording heard by Fox News Digital.
„He was there“, Doe replied.
A second private investigator asked, „He was just there, but he didn’t have anything to do with any sexual acts towards you, it was strictly …“
„Yeah“, Doe said.
The accuser is also heard saying her attorney put her up to suing the A-list rapper.
„He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z“, Doe remarked.
The second private investigator asked, „With Jay-Z? Buzbee did?“
Doe replied, „Yeah.“
„Do you know why?“ the first private investigator asked.
„No“, the accuser answered.
During an interview with „Good Morning America“, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, said „the tape speaks for itself.“
„[Doe] says in no uncertain terms, Mr. Carter did not do this. It is effectively a lie, and the only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this is because she was pushed to involve him, pushed to include him by a lawyer.“
However, Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, called it a „blatant lie“, and provided „GMA“ with a recorded phone call with his client.
„They say they have you on tape denying that Jay-Z assaulted you? Is that true?“ Buzbee is heard saying on the call.
„No. No. I don’t – I’ve never said that“, Doe replied.
Buzbee continued, „Okay, they also say that you told them, and they have it on tape, that I, Tony Buzbee, told you to – like came up with this plan and told you to say that Jay-Z assaulted you so you would get more money?“
„No“, Doe answered.
