The anonymous woman, who accused rappers Jay-Z and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of raping her as a teen in 2000, is accusing her attorney of pressuring her to make the claim. In a bombshell recording, obtained by ABC News, the accuser, known as Jane Doe, claimed to private investigators that her attorney pushed her to sue the 55-year-old billionaire music mogul, who is married to global superstar Beyoncé.

When asked about her claim that Jay-Z (born Shawn Corey Carter) raped her at an VMA’s afterparty, when she was 13, the woman seemingly walked back on her story. Per an excerpt of the audiotape, one of the investigators, asked: ‘He was just there, but he didn’t have anything to do with any 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual acts towards you?’ ‘Yeah,’ Jane Doe replied after previously naming him in a 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault case, which was filed in December 2024 and dismissed last month.  She went on to claim that her attorney, Tony Buzbee, put her up to suing the father-of-three, who is reportedly worth $2.5 billion.

The anonymous woman, who accused rappers Jay-Z and Sean ‘ Diddy ‘ Combs of raping her as a teen in 2000, revealed why she lied about being 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually assaulted. ‘He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z,’ the woman insisted. When investigators asked specifically if she was speaking about Buzbee, she said: ‘Yeah.’

In a statement to DailyMail.com, Buzbee said: ‘I spoke to Jane Doe immediately after being contacted by ABC. Her position is very clear and has never changed. The tape is a pieced together fabrication. The investigators tormented and harassed and tricked that poor woman and took what she said out of context and secretly recorded her.’ ‘She stands by her claim that Jay Z was there at the party and that he assaulted her. She has never wavered on that point, not once,’ Buzbee added.

In a statement to ABC News, Buzbee said it was a ‘blatant lie’ that he pushed Jane Doe to bring a case against Jay-Z. During his interview with ABC News’ Aaron Katersky on Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning America, Jay-Z’s lawyer detailed his efforts to clear his client’s name. ‘People around Mr. Carter wanted to know what happened behind closed doors and, so, they asked for her to be interviewed,’ Spiro said. ‘The interview occurred and the tape speaks for itself,’ he explained. ‘She says — in no uncertain terms — Mr. Carter did not do this. It is effectively a lie. The only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this is because she was pushed to involve him – pushed to include him — by a lawyer.’

In a statement provided to ABC News, Spiro, denied that Jane Doe ever had any interaction with his client. ‘Mr. Carter doesn’t know Jane Doe, never met Jane Doe. There’s no truth to any of this,’ Spiro said.

In a bombshell recording, obtained by ABC News, the accuser, known as Jane Doe, claimed to private investigators that her attorney, Tony Buzbee, pushed her to sue the music mogul, 55  (Buzbee pictured in 2023) Jay-Z said in a statement, last month after the lawsuit was dismissed, that it felt like a ‘victory.’  ‘The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone,’ he said.

The 99 Problems hitmaker went on to reveal the toll that the case has taken on his entire family. The statement continued: ‘The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed. ‘This 1-800 lawyer gets to file a suit hiding behind Jane Doe, and when they quickly realize that the money grab is going to fail, they get to walk away with no repercussions. The system has failed.’

He finished off the emotional statement with a commentary on the court system and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault allegations as a whole. Jay-Z concluded: ‘The court must protect victims, OF COURSE, while with the same ethical responsibility, the courts must protect the innocent from being accused without a shred of evidence. May the truth prevail for all victims and those falsely accused equally.’

Jay-Z said in a statement, last month after the lawsuit was dismissed, that it felt like a ‘victory’ but that he wouldn’t ‘wish this experience on anyone’ (seen in 2024)

The rapper went on to reflect on how the claims have traumatized him, his wife and their kids; seen with Beyoncé and their daughter Blue Ivy at the Grammy Awards in LA last month. Last month, it was also revealed that Jay-Z sued Jane Doe and Buzbee as he claimed the ‘lies’ and ‘extortionate threats’ made by them led him to a $20 million loss. The Empire State Of Mind artist accused the defendants in the case, in addition to attorney David Fortney, of ‘malicious prosecution, abuse of process, civil conspiracy and defamation,’ according to legal documents filed in Alabama and reviewed by Dailymail.com. In the legal complaint, Jay-Z says the defendants ‘were soullessly motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency.’ Diddy’s attorney has also released a statement taking aim at opposing attorney Buzbee which read: ‘Today’s complete dismissal without a settlement by the 1-800 attorney is yet another confirmation that these lawsuits are built on falsehoods, not facts.

HIs venue of choice was the upscale Japanese eatery Sushi Park, where he was accompanied by art dealer Jaime Frankfurt. ‘For months, we have seen case after case filed by individuals hiding behind anonymity, pushed forward by an attorney more focused on media headlines than legal merit. Just like this claim, the others will fall apart because there is no truth to them. ‘Sean Combs has never 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. No number of lawsuits, sensationalized allegations, or media theatrics will change that reality. We will continue to fight these baseless claims and hold those responsible. This is just the first of many that will not hold up in a court of law.’ The accuser, who identifies herself as Jane Doe in legal documents reviewed by Dailymail.com back in December, had said the assault took place at a party after the award show.
