A woman who alleged that Jay-Z raped her at a VMAs afterparty in 2000 has withdrawn her lawsuit after an audio recording surfaced. In the recording, she stated that Jay-Z was present but did not assault her. She also claimed her attorney, Tony Buzbee, pushed her to file the lawsuit. The lawsuit was formally dismissed with prejudice, preventing it from being refiled. Jay-Z's attorney criticized the suit, asserting that it should never have been filed and emphasized Jay-Z's proactive stance in defending himself against false allegations.
He was just there, but he didn't have anything to do with any sexual acts towards you? Yeah, the woman responded.
He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z. Buzbee did? Yeah.
By standing up in the face of heinous and false allegations, Jay has done what few can - he pushed back, he never settled, he never paid 1 red penny.
The case was dismissed with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled.
