Jay-Z accused of assault? In a complaint filed in New York federal court, the unnamed Jane Doe has added Jay-Z as a defendant in the civil lawsuit allegedly along with Sean “Diddy” Combs at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty back in 2000, according to a civil lawsuit filed in federal court on Sunday. Lawyer for the plaintiff Tony Buzbee claims that after the alleged victim was driven to the afterparty and forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement, she was given a drink that made her feel “woozy” and “light headed.” When she went into a bedroom to lie down, Buzbee claims she was assaulted by the two stars while a third female celebrity looked on. The music icon has strongly denied the allegations against him. Calling the lawsuit a “blackmail attempt” aimed at securing a settlement, he called Buzbee a “fraud,” a “deplorable human” and an “ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.” Jay released a statement Sunday evening addressing the lawsuit:
“You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all ‘celebrities’ are the same, I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the projects of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain.”
