Jay-Z Fights Sexual Assault Lawsuit Citing Major Inconsistencies, Claims Case Hurts Real Victims

Jay-Z is demanding the dismissal of a sexual assault lawsuit, citing significant inconsistencies in the accuser's testimony. The allegations stem from an alleged incident at a VMAs afterparty in 2000, where the plaintiff, now 38, claims she was assaulted at age 13.

Key points in Jay-Z's dismissal request:

  • The accuser's father doesn't recall picking her up after the alleged assault
  • Location discrepancies exist between the plaintiff's account and photographic evidence
  • A non-party celebrity reportedly denied being present at or speaking with the plaintiff at the afterparty
  • The venue described in the lawsuit doesn't match documented locations of Jay-Z's whereabouts that night

The plaintiff's attorney, Tony Buzbee, who represents over 200 individuals in sexual assault cases against Diddy, maintains his client's allegations. The accuser has defended apparent inconsistencies, attributing her father's lack of recall to memory issues.

Jay-Z's legal team argues that "basic facts in her narrative – the who, what, when, and where – are wrong." They claim continuing the case would harm Carter's family, businesses, employees, and legacy while undermining judicial system integrity and true victims' voices.

The 24-time Grammy winner, who maintains NFL support, faces this legal challenge while simultaneously dealing with separate paternity claims from an alleged "illegitimate son." The court's decision on the dismissal request is pending.
