Jay-Z and Diddy face a lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges they raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000. The lawsuit, filed under New York’s Victims of Gender-Violence Protection Act, accuses the two rappers of assaulting the girl at a party after the MTV Video Music Awards. Jay-Z has dismissed the lawsuit as a blackmail attempt.
The accuser, identified as Jane Doe, claims she was dropped off at the VMAs by a friend and approached limousine drivers to try to gain access to the show. One driver told her he worked for Diddy and that she fit what Diddy was looking for. The driver then took her to a party at a white house. She was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement there.
At the party, Jane Doe recognized several celebrities and saw widespread drug use, including cocaine. A waitress offered her a drink that made her feel woozy, so she went into a room to lie down. It’s when Diddy and Jay-Z allegedly entered the room with a female celebrity and assaulted her.
Jay-Z has denied the allegations, calling them a shameless publicity stunt. Diddy’s legal team has also denied the allegations, saying they are part of an effort to extract payments from celebrities. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and alleges that Jane Doe still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression as a result of the alleged rapes. So, Jay-Z and Diddy are facing serious allegations. Hence, the outcome of the lawsuit will be closely monitored, amid the celebrity rape allegations.
