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.
