In 2000, following the MTV Video Music Awards, allegations of rape against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jay Z surfaced involving a 13-year-old girl. However, in February 14, 2025, the accuser, Jane Doe, dropped the case.
After the closure of the harassment case, both rappers, including Sean Diddy Combs, are currently pursuing Tony Buzbee, a well-known lawyer who has represented numerous individuals accused of sexual misconduct, including himself in the case.
Currently, Buzbee is being pulled into a federal court in New York due to allegations by Combs and Jay Z (Shawn Carter) regarding his unauthorized legal practices. Additionally, he’s also facing accusations of the same in a state court in California.
In an anti-SLAPP hearing held before Judge Mark H. Epstein at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, a preliminary decision regarding Jay-Z’s extortion claim against Buzbee was made.
According to Judge Epstein’s decision, there are significant doubts about whether Buzbee behaved with genuine ill-will, which is an essential factor in lawsuits concerning defamation against public figures.
The judge indicated that he would examine the points presented by lawyers such as Camille Vasquez on February 25th. Additionally, he mentioned that Buzbee’s liking of social media posts suggesting Jay Z was involved in the 2000 rape case under the pseudonym “Celebrity A” could be seen as a level of malice, which is sufficient for a defamation lawsuit.
On October 20th, Sean “Diddy” Combs was named in a lawsuit over alleged rape from 2000. The lawsuit also mentions two other celebrities, referred to as “Celebrity A” and “Celebrity B”. Additionally, an anonymous celebrity and public figure residing in Los Angeles, represented by Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, was involved in the case.
On December 8th, a legal case was refiled by a lawyer based in Texas, now alleging that the person identified as Celebrity A is actually Jay-Z.
1. Jay Z admitted he lives in Los Angeles by stating he wasn’t involved in the case.
2. The judge, Epstein, set the next court date for late March.
