Jay-Z Rape Accuser Allegedly Told Private Investigator She Made Up Claims

New legal filings from Jay-Z's team lay out accusations that the anonymous woman who accused him of rape lied about the incident.

According to an affidavit filed on Wednesday and shared with Complex, private investigator Charlotte Henderson claims she met with Jane Doe in Alabama on Feb. 21.

During their meeting, Doe allegedly admitted that her attorney, Tony Buzbee, “pushed” her to implicate Jay-Z despite only wanting to sue Sean “Diddy” Combs for an alleged rape in 2000.

“He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z,” Doe reportedly stated, per Henderson’s affidavit.

Doe also supposedly acknowledged that Jay-Z was at the party but said he “did not take part in any sexual assault of Ms. Doe.”

Buzbee filed a civil suit accusing both Jay-Z and Diddy of sexual assault in December. 

Not long after media outlets reported inconsistencies in Doe’s story as laid out by Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, Doe dismissed her lawsuit in February with prejudice, which will prevent her from filing in the future.

Henderson’s meeting with Doe took place a week later, during which Doe allegedly claimed Buzbee had told her Jay-Z was “threatening to kill her in response to her lawsuit,” which prompted her to drop the case.

Doe reportedly stated four times that she was never assaulted by Jay-Z, and she allegedly questioned how signing an affidavit would benefit her.

Henderson also mentioned she was not hired by Jay-Z, nor his legal team, for the investigation.

Another private investigator, Ian Pillinger, filed an affidavit claiming that Doe has “a legally-documented history of mental health issues” that supposedly led her to lose custody over her children.

The issues Doe reportedly lives with include bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, and a “history of auditory hallucinations.”

Per the affidavit, Doe spent time in a mental health facility before Buzbee sent a demand letter to Jay-Z and has been recently in the care of a psychologist.

Jay-Z is now suing Buzbee for extortion and filed a separate lawsuit against Doe for malicious prosecution.

In a statement made to the outlet, Buzbee said that all claims made against him are “flat out false and made up.”

“Jane Doe called referring counsel, the Ava Law Group, and alleged she was assaulted by PDiddy and Jay Z before her case was EVER referred to our firm. That’s indisputable,” Buzbee said in a statement. 

He added, "None of the actual documentation supports that false story that Jay Z’s team is trying to sell the public.”

As previously reported, Doe alleged in her December lawsuit that she was brought to a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards by a limousine driver linked to Diddy. Doe claimed she was given a drink that made her “woozy” before being assaulted by both men.

Doe’s lawsuit was originally filed in October, but at the time only named Diddy. The complaint was later amended to include Jay-Z.

Jay-Z denied the lawsuit’s claims while calling the allegations “heinous” and Buzbee a “deplorable human” in a statement shared through Roc Nation’s social media accounts at the time.
