An anonymous woman who accused Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter and Sean 'Diddy' Combs of raping her in 2000 has dismissed her civil lawsuit against the hip-hop moguls. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, voluntarily dismissed the case in federal court in Manhattan, meaning she cannot refile it. Diddy faces a separate criminal trial in May on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, and numerous other civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct.
An anonymous woman who accused Shawn “ Jay-Z ” Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her in 2000 when she was 13 has dismissed her civil lawsuit against the hip-hop moguls. A filing in federal court in Manhattan said the plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, voluntarily dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning she cannot bring it again. Tony Buzbee, a lawyer for the woman, declined to comment.
The Doe lawsuit was the only one to name Carter as a defendant, and he had vociferously denied the woman’s claims. “Today is a victory,” Carter said in a statement posted online on Friday by his entertainment company Roc Nation. “The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed. This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere.” Carter said the case also caused trauma for his wife Beyonce and their children.
