HERE ARE THE ALLEGATIONS
The anonymous accuser, identified only as “Jane Doe,” said the assault happened after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty.
The lawsuit was originally filed in October in the Southern District of New York, listing Combs as a defendant. It was refiled Sunday to include Jay Z.
The lawyer filing the lawsuit, Tony Buzbee was sued last week by Jay Z. Jay Z claimed that Tony is extorting him with a fictitious lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that in 2000, when Doe was 13, Combs and Carter r**ed her at a house party following the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.
The lawsuit says a friend dropped her off at the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall. She didn’t have a ticket and approached various limousine drivers to attempt to gain access to the show or an after party.
One driver, the lawsuit said, told her that he worked for Combs and she “fit what Diddy was looking for.” He invited her to a party following the show and told her to return to his car later in the evening after he transported Carter and Combs, the suit said.
Later, the driver picked her up, the suit said, and after 20 minutes arrived at a white house with a U-shaped driveway. She had to sign a document she believed was a non-disclosure agreement on arrival — and didn’t receive a copy — to enter the party the suit said was filled with celebrities and people doing marijuana and cocaine.
She was offered a drink that made her feel “woozy, lightheaded and felt [like] she needed to lie down,” the suit said. She went into a room to rest.
Shortly after, the suit said Combs and Carter entered the room with Combs saying, “You are ready to party!”
That’s when she alleges that Carter removed her clothes and held her down and r**ed her while Combs and another unnamed female celebrity watched. She says Combs also r**ed her as Carter and the woman looked on.
The suit says she was able to resist being forced to perform oral s*x on Combs by hitting him in the neck and that he “stopped.”
After the alleged assault, the suit says, she “grabbed her clothes” and left. She made her way to a gas station where she called her father.
JAY Z’s RESPONSE:
Jay Z fired back with a full throated repudiation of the lawsuit, claiming that it’s all fictional and was fabricated in an attempt to extort him.
