Woman who accused Jay-Z of rape recants allegation
The woman filed a document as part of defamation proceedings, saying there was "no truth to any of my claims" about the billionaire rapper.
A woman who once accused Jay-Z of rape at age 13 has withdrawn her claims, stating she never met the rapper. The woman, identified as Jane Doe in legal documents, filed a document recanting her allegations as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by Jay-Z against her and her law firm. According to her recantation, there is "no truth" to her claims against Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
She emphasized that she had never met or spoken with Carter and that he had never engaged in any inappropriate conduct towards her. The woman claimed that her lawyers had filed the lawsuit without conducting any independent investigation or obtaining any corroboration of her allegations, which she alleged were based on a Facebook ad seeking victims of Combs. Jay-Z's legal team stated they were dropping her as a defendant in the defamation case.
