Jay-Z’s R*pe Case Dismissal Takes a Shocking Twist as Accuser Fires Back

In new documents, obtained by TMZ, Doe, however, told the judge that the two investigators, Charlotte Henderson and James Butler, showed up ‘uninvited’ to her home in Alabama.

During their interaction, Doe claims she ‘trembled the entire time’ they spoke to her and she was in no way ‘calm, natural or at ease’ as the men described her.

Doe also shut down their story that she ‘told them four times Jay-Z was not involved’ in her alleged rape following the 2000 VMAs in New York City.

‘I never stated (whether once or 4 times) that Mr. Carter did not assault me,’ she said in the documents.

In the tapes, obtained by ABC News, Doe can mostly be heard responding ‘yeah’ to their questions. At one point, however, she seemed to claim her attorney, Tony Buzbee, pushed her to sue Jay-Z.

Now, Doe says she never ‘made any such statement’ about Buzbee to ‘Henderson or any other person.’

Doe also seemed to allude the tape was edited to paint her in an unflattering light.

For example, Doe says when she asked the men ‘how does this help me’ during the conversation, she claims it sounds like she is asking what’s in it for her. But Doe insists that her question was a response to Henderson allegedly yelling, ‘We’re trying to help you.’

In the tapes, Doe alleged to private investigators that her attorney pushed her to sue Jay-Z, who is reportedly worth $2.5 billion.

‘He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z,’ she said in the recording.

When investigators asked specifically if she was speaking about Buzbee, she said: ‘Yeah.’

In a statement to DailyMail.com, Buzbee said: ‘I spoke to Jane Doe immediately after being contacted by ABC. Her position is very clear and has never changed. The tape is a pieced together fabrication. The investigators tormented and harassed and tricked that poor woman and took what she said out of context and secretly recorded her.’

‘She stands by her claim that Jay Z was there at the party and that he assaulted her. She has never wavered on that point, not once,’ Buzbee added.

Earlier in the tape, when asked about her claim that Jay-Z (born Shawn Corey Carter) raped her at an VMA’s afterparty, when she was 13, she appeared to recant.

Per an excerpt of the audiotape, one of the investigators, asked: ‘He was just there, but he didn’t have anything to do with any sexual acts towards you?’

‘Yeah,’ Jane Doe replied after previously naming him in a sexual assault case, which was filed in December 2024 and dismissed last month.

On Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning America, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, detailed his efforts to clear his client’s name and spoke about the tapes.

‘People around Mr. Carter wanted to know what happened behind closed doors and, so, they asked for her to be interviewed,’ Spiro said.

‘The interview occurred and the tape speaks for itself,’ he explained. ‘She says — in no uncertain terms — Mr. Carter did not do this. It is effectively a lie. The only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this is because she was pushed to involve him – pushed to include him — by a lawyer.’

In a statement provided to ABC News, Spiro, also denied that Jane Doe ever had any interaction with his client.

‘Mr. Carter doesn’t know Jane Doe, never met Jane Doe. There’s no truth to any of this,’ Spiro said.

Jay-Z said in a statement, last month after the lawsuit was dismissed, that it felt like a ‘victory.’

‘The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone,’ he said.

The 99 Problems hitmaker went on to reveal the toll that the case has taken on his entire family.

The statement continued: ‘The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.

‘This 1-800 lawyer gets to file a suit hiding behind Jane Doe, and when they quickly realize that the money grab is going to fail, they get to walk away with no repercussions. The system has failed.’

He finished off the emotional statement with a commentary on the court system and sexual assault allegations as a whole.

Jay-Z concluded: ‘The court must protect victims, OF COURSE, while with the same ethical responsibility, the courts must protect the innocent from being accused without a shred of evidence. May the truth prevail for all victims and those falsely accused equally.’

In February, it was also revealed that Jay-Z sued Jane Doe and Buzbee as he claimed the ‘lies’ and ‘extortionate threats’ made by them led him to a $20 million loss.

The Empire State Of Mind artist accused the defendants in the case, in addition to attorney David Fortney, of ‘malicious prosecution, abuse of process, civil conspiracy and defamation,’ according to legal documents filed in Alabama and reviewed by Dailymail.com.

In the legal complaint, Jay-Z says the defendants ‘were soullessly motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency.’

Diddy’s attorney has also released a statement taking aim at opposing attorney Buzbee which read: ‘Today’s complete dismissal without a settlement by the 1-800 attorney is yet another confirmation that these lawsuits are built on falsehoods, not facts.

‘For months, we have seen case after case filed by individuals hiding behind anonymity, pushed forward by an attorney more focused on media headlines than legal merit. Just like this claim, the others will fall apart because there is no truth to them.

‘Sean Combs has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. No number of lawsuits, sensationalized allegations, or media theatrics will change that reality. We will continue to fight these baseless claims and hold those responsible. This is just the first of many that will not hold up in a court of law.’

The accuser, who identifies herself as Jane Doe in legal documents reviewed by Dailymail.com back in December, had said the assault took place at a party after the award show.

This Tuesday evening, the day before news broke of the latest development, Jay-Z was spotted headed to dinner at a celebrity hot spot in West Hollywood.

HIs venue of choice was the upscale Japanese eatery Sushi Park, where he was accompanied by art dealer Jaime Frankfurt.
