Woman Who Accused Jay-Z of Rape Recants, Says Allegations Were False
–
Neutral summary
The woman identified in court documents as Jane Doe has fully withdrawn her allegations that Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped her at an afterparty for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. In a 12-page declaration filed in Manhattan federal court, she wrote: “Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter never raped me. I never met or spoke with Mr. Carter.” She added that “there is no truth in any of my allegations” and apologized to Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The woman said she had informed her then-legal team about certain “mental health conditions” before the rapper was publicly named in the lawsuit in December 2024. She also stated that she was not offered compensation for recanting. Her lawyers, however, maintain that she did suffer sexual assault, but not at the hands of Carter. Jay-Z had filed a malicious prosecution lawsuit against her, and she was dropped as a defendant after the recantation. The original lawsuit was filed in October 2024.
