Jay-Z sues woman over allegedly falsifying rape allegation

Rapper claims woman and her lawyers knowingly proceeded with false claim that he and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs raped her when she was 13

His suit, filed in Alabama, where she lives, names both the woman and her lawyers Tony Buzbee and David Fortney. Buzbee is the subject of a prior lawsuit by Jay-Z, who last year accused the lawyer of demanding a “confidential mediation” tantamount to extortion regarding Jane Doe’s rape allegations. In a new affidavit in that case, the woman said she was approached at home in February by two people claiming to be investigators working with Jay-Z’s lawyer, and that she refused to sign papers recanting her allegations.
