How We Got Here: VMA Jane Doe's Lawsuit Against Diddy And Jay-Z Is Dismissed WITH Prejudice
A civil lawsuit alleging that Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted a woman when she was 13 years old has been voluntarily dismissed. The plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, claimed the assault occurred at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Filed in federal court in Manhattan, the case was dismissed with prejudice, preventing any future refiling of the same claims. Jay-Z consistently denied the allegations, describing them as "frivolous, fictitious, and appalling," and expressed relief at the lawsuit's dismissal, noting the trauma the accusations caused his family. Sean Combs, who is currently awaiting trial on separate racketeering and sex trafficking charges, also maintained his innocence regarding these allegations.
The lawsuit, initially filed solely against Combs in October 2024, was amended in December to include Jay-Z as a defendant. The plaintiff's attorney, Tony Buzbee, declined to comment on the reasons for the dismissal. Jay-Z's legal team emphasized that their client did not settle or make any payments related to the case, underscoring their stance that the allegations were without merit. While this particular lawsuit has been dismissed, Combs continues to face numerous other civil lawsuits and criminal charges, with his trial scheduled for May 2025.
