In a recent turn of events, JAY-Z and Roc Nation have taken a strong stance against attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the rapper’s rape accuser. This comes after Buzbee was hit with another lawsuit, this time in New York Supreme Court, alleging that he infected a woman he dated with a sexually transmitted disease.
The woman, referred to as Jane Doe, claims that Buzbee engaged in sexual relations with her at a Houston hotel in 2018 without disclosing his infection. Following their encounter, she reported feeling ill and subsequently learned from her doctor that she had contracted an STD. According to her account, Buzbee was made aware of the situation but asked her to keep quiet about his condition, even offering her legal advice for her silence.
Despite her concerns, Jane Doe continued her relationship with Buzbee, accompanying him on trips to various locations, including Panama and New York City. However, during one such trip to New York, she alleged that he became violent, injuring her by striking her with a champagne flute.
In response to the lawsuit, Buzbee took to social media, accusing Roc Nation and Diddy’s legal teams of orchestrating a smear campaign against him. He characterized the lawsuit as frivolous and lacking any factual basis, asserting that it was part of a broader conspiracy aimed at discrediting him amid ongoing legal disputes involving Diddy and JAY-Z.
Buzbee claimed that before the lawsuit was filed, he was pressured into paying $20 million to avoid reputational damage, suggesting that the allegations were fabricated. He indicated that he had reported these claims to law enforcement and intended to pursue legal action against those involved.
Roc Nation responded swiftly, denying Buzbee’s assertions and labeling him as “Mr. 1800.” The statement dismissed his claims of criminality associated with Roc Nation and emphasized that they are not responsible for the allegations against him. The company also referenced Buzbee’s previous quote about sunlight being a disinfectant, suggesting that the truth about his actions would eventually come to light.
This back-and-forth between Buzbee and Roc Nation highlights the ongoing complexities and tensions in the legal battles surrounding JAY-Z and his accusers.
