Total lie! : Jay-Z s lawyer blasts rape accuser after she tries to dismiss defamation case

Get the Full StoryThe legal fight between rap mogul Jay-Z and his unnamed accuser, Jane Doe, is becoming more intense. Doe, who originally accused Jay-Z and Diddy of raping her when she was 13, has now asked the court to throw out Jay-Z s defamation lawsuit against her and her lawyer, Tony Buzbee. Doe s request to dismiss the case argues that Jay-Z s lawsuit does not make a strong enough legal claim. Her lawyers say the malicious prosecution claim is weak because Jay-Z focuses on the intent behind the lawsuit, not how the legal process was misused afterward. They also argue the abuse of process claim fails because Jay-Z hasn t provided enough evidence. According to People, the lawsuit also had a civil conspiracy claim. Doe s team says it doesn t hold up because a lawyer can t be held responsible for conspiracy, and a single person Doe can t be guilty of conspiracy alone. However, there s a lot more to the story than this. Jay-Z s accusor fighting against defamation lawsuit Doe s motion says California law protects her statements in the original lawsuit and media interviews because they were based on court documents. As TMZ reported, she argued this legal shield defends her against the defamation claims. Her motion also points out that Jay-Z s own complaint mentions an NBC News article that discredited her accusations, suggesting no reasonable person would believe them. The disagreement over whether a settlement happened has made the legal fight even more heated. Buzbee previously asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit against him, saying he and Jay-Z had reached a settlement in February 2025, which led to Doe dropping her case. But Spiro has strongly denied this, calling it a complete lie, per HipHopDX.

He also mentioned a recording where Doe supposedly took back her accusations, saying Buzbee pressured her to name Jay-Z. Buzbee, in response, has called Spiro s claims a blatant lie. This legal dispute started in December 2024 when Doe sued Jay-Z and Sean Diddy Combs, claiming they raped her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000. However, in February 2025, she dropped the lawsuit after inconsistencies were found in her story. Jay-Z then filed a defamation lawsuit against Doe and Buzbee in Alabama, where Doe lives. His lawsuit accuses them of malicious prosecution, abuse of the legal system, and working together to harm him. Jay-Z says the rape accusations were knowingly false and meant to damage him. He claims the lawsuit was really an attempt to extort money from him. He also says he suffered serious harm, including damage to his reputation, over 20 million in losses for his company Roc Nation, legal expenses, and emotional distress. Spiro and Buzbee s conflicting statements and Doe s motion to dismiss have made things complicated. Now, the judge must review both sides arguments, examine the evidence, and decide whether Jay-Z s defamation case has merit despite Doe s claim of legal protection and the disputed settlement claims.
