Jay-Z Claims Lawsuit Accusing Him of Rape at the 2000 MTV VMAs After-Party Were Made With Extortion Intent
Rap icon Jay-Z recently embroiled in a major controversy after a woman filed a lawsuit against him for allegedly raping her at the 2000 MTV VMAs after-party. Denying the allegations, the 'Empire State of Mind' singer said that the allegations were made purely with extortion intent.
The rapper Jay-Z says a rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt. A woman who previously sued Sean 슬롯사이트œDiddy슬롯사이트� Combs, alleging she was raped at an awards show afterparty in 2000 when she was 13, amended the lawsuit Sunday to include a new allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Jay-Z Accused of Raping 13-Year-Old Girl: Beyoncé슬롯사이트™s Husband Denies Allegations, Slams Attorney Tony Buzbee and Labels Lawsuit a 슬롯사이트˜Blackmail Attempt슬롯사이트�.
Jay-Z called the allegations 슬롯사이트œidiotic슬롯사이트� and 슬롯사이트œheinous in nature" in a statement released by one of his companies. He also revealed that he had anonymously sued the woman's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, in California, alleging Buzbee was trying to blackmail him by threatening to make the rape allegation public if he didn't agree to a legal settlement. Jay-Z said a letter his lawyer received from Buzbee appeared to seek a settlement but had the 슬롯사이트œopposite effect."

The litigation is part of a wave of sexual assault lawsuits levied against Combs as the hip-hop mogul remains in custody in New York awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
The woman, who is not named in the suit, says she was hanging around Radio City Music Hall during the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, and managed to talk a limousine driver into bringing her to a celebrity-studded party at a private residence after the event. She said that while she was in the limousine, she was asked to sign a nondisclosure document. Once at the party, the lawsuit said, she took a drink that made her feel 슬롯사이트œwoozy and lightheaded슬롯사이트� and went into a bedroom to lay down.
She said that Combs and Jay Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, then barged into the room along with another unnamed celebrity and raped her.
Buzbee, a personal injury lawyer in Houston, Texas, announced at a press conference in October that he represents some 120 people 슬롯사이트� both men and women 슬롯사이트� with allegations of sexual misconduct against Combs. His firm, which has set up a 1-800 number for accusers, began filing a wave of suits against the hip hop mogul a few weeks later.
Combs' attorneys at the time denied the allegations and criticised the press conference and hotline as 슬롯사이트œclear attempts to garner publicity.슬롯사이트� Buzbee said the allegation that he was trying to blackmail Jay-Z is 슬롯사이트œstupid and laughable,슬롯사이트� saying his letter simply sought confidential mediation on the litigation. 슬롯사이트œWhat he fails to say in his recent statement is that my firm sent his lawyer a basic demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never demanded a penny from him,슬롯사이트� he said in an emailed statement.
슬롯사이트œSince I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr Carter has not only sued me, but he has tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite impact. She is emboldened. I'm very proud of her resolve.슬롯사이트�
