On Sunday evening (Dec. 8), NBC News reported that Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee refiled a lawsuit today that was originally against Diddy to additionally include Jay-Z. The federal lawsuit was initially filed in October in the Southern District of New York. Diddy, who is currently incarcerated after being arrested in September for multiple sex crimes, was included as the sole defendant at first.
The accuser in the refiled lawsuit remains anonymous and her identity is intentionally concealed by being referred to as "Jane Doe." Doe claims that in 2000, when she was 13, she was raped by Jay-Z and Diddy at a house party after the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City. The lawsuit is filed under New York's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. The alleged victim is seeking unspecified damages.
Upon news of the refiled lawsuit, Tony Buzbee limited his statement to XXL to the following: "The pleading speaks for itself. This is a very serious matter that will be litigated in court." Buzbee has filed several lawsuits on behalf of alleged victims who accuse Diddy of rape and other crimes.
