Jay-Z has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that’s been brought against him by a woman who claims he and Diddy sexually assaulted her when she was just 13 at a VMAs after-party back in 2000.
According to Variety, Jay-Z filed this motion on Wednesday after getting the green light from U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres. The news outlet reports that the motion highlights a bunch of inconsistencies in the woman’s story.

In the documents, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, is reportedly calling out the interview that the Jane Doe accuser did with NBC News in December, where she admitted to having “made some mistakes” in how she recounted her experience. Earlier that month, Judge Torres ruled that the accuser could keep her identity under wraps. Spiro claims that the accuser’s attorney, Tony Buzbee—who’s already facing a defamation case from Carter—is throwing around serious accusations without properly backing them up.
Judge Torres has previously called out Spiro for his “relentless filing of combative motions filled with inflammatory language and personal attacks” on the accuser’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee. In this latest motion, Spiro is sticking to his guns, arguing that there are numerous “inconsistencies and outright impossibilities” in Jane Doe’s claims.
Jane Doe initially filed her lawsuit against Diddy back in October and then refiled it with Jay-Z’s name added in early December. As soon as Carter was named in the suit, he came out swinging with a statement, labeling the accusations as a “blackmail attempt.” Meanwhile, a separate statement from his entertainment company, Roc Nation, took shots at Buzbee, calling him an “1-800 lawyer” who’s just chasing after money and fame.
