Allegations of Sexual Assault Against Jay-Z and Diddy
A woman has accused rappers Jay-Z and Diddy of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old. She claims she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000 and was lured to a white house, where the alleged assault occurred.
Inconsistencies in the Account
However, there are some inconsistencies in the woman’s story. Her father does not recall picking her up after the alleged assault, and a celebrity she claims to have spoken to at an after-party has denied being there.
Legal Response
Jay-Z has denied the allegations, calling them “idiotic” and “heinous.” Diddy’s attorneys have dismissed the lawsuit as a “money grab.”
The Alleged Incident
According to the woman, she was given a drink that made her feel dizzy and was then taken to a room where she was allegedly assaulted by Jay-Z and Diddy. She says she escaped and called her father for a ride home.
The Woman’s Background
The woman, now 38, says she has faced depression and other struggles in the years since the alleged assault. She has two children, served in the Army National Guard, and has obtained several certifications to help people in need.
Ongoing Investigation
The woman’s attorney says he is continuing to investigate her claims. The case is currently under review by a court.
