Jay-Z and his legal team are said to be in federal court asking for the identity of a woman who filed suit against him under “Jane Doe.” According to Allhiphop.com, they have accused her of being hidden behind anonymity as she launched a calculated smear campaign.
The hip hop news site reported that his legal team says that Doe forfeited her right to remain anonymous by continuing to repeat claims she previously admitted were fabricated.
In her last filing, Jane Doe’s psychiatrist claimed “public exposure would destabilize her current mental health recovery” and doubled down on her claims that she was assaulted by Jay and Diddy at a party after the MTV VMAs in 2000.
The lawsuit, which stems from previously dismissed allegations in New York, accuses Jay-Z of abuse, a claim his attorneys say she has already recanted on tape.
A recently filed motion accuses Doe and her attorney, Houston-based Anthony Buzbee, of orchestrating a campaign to damage Jay-Z’s name, family and career while shielding Doe’s identity from public scrutiny.
“By reasserting and amplifying these knowingly false allegations, Defendants seek to continue their conspiracy to inflict reputational, emotional, and economic harm on Mr. Carter, his children and his entire family, all while concealing Doe’s identity,” his attorneys reportedly said in the motion.
