Jay-Z’s alleged victim wants her emotional letter to be submitted as evidence in her lawsuit against the rapper.
In October 2024, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Jane Doe against Sean Combs for alleged rape. The Alabama woman claims she was sexually assaulted by Combs and another man at an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards in New York in 2000.
The lawsuit was amended in December 2024 to add Jay-Z’s name as the other man.
As In Touch previously reported, Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) filed an anonymous lawsuit against Tony Buzbee on November 18, 2024.
Jay-Z accused Buzbee of demanding an exorbitant sum of money in an extortion attempt. Jay-Z said he was told that the allegations would go away if he paid millions.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Buzbee said although Jay-Z’s lawsuit against him “contains numerous sensationalistic and histrionic allegations, it fails to state a single viable claim against the Buzbee Parties.”
In his motion for dismissal, Buzbee asked the court if a letter from Jay-Z’s alleged victim could be admitted as evidence.
Buzbee also dropped hints that more lawsuits will be filed against Jay-Z soon.

Buzbee said several of his clients identified Jay-Z as an “accomplice of” Sean Combs and a “perpetrator of sexual violence against them.”
As part of his motion to dismiss, Buzbee attached the letter he sent to Jay-Z’s lawyers in an attempt to settle Jane Doe’s case out of court.
The letter read, “Due to the trauma of the assault, Doe has endured intense emotional suffering, plagued by overwhelming anxiety and panic. Depression weighs heavily on her. She avoids many social environments and crowded spaces. Her mental and emotional health has deteriorated such that normal daily functioning is unattainable. She fears for her life and constantly relives the horror she endured at the hands of you and your associates over the span of years. She will never fully heal from the atrocities she was forced to commit after being drugged and raped by you and Combs.”

The letter continued, “It has been my experience that when someone does this to a victim once, the likelihood is that they have done the same or similar things to others. I have recommended to Ms. Doe that we immediately file suit, and I expect when we do that other victims will come forward who have been taken advantage of at your hands in the way that Ms. Doe reports. To her credit, Ms. Doe has no real interest in causing a public spectacle, or filing a public lawsuit – but she will do so. She does, however, want something of substance done about this unacceptable situation and your actions.”
“Thus, Ms. Doe hereby demands that within two weeks of the date of this letter your designee contact my office to schedule a confidential mediation. At that mediation, we expect the attendance of you or someone with authority to act on your behalf, who can work together with Ms. Doe to resolve this delicate and important matter. If my office fails to hear from you or your designee by close of business on November 19, 2024, we will take a different course,” the letter added. “Should this demand to reasonably mediate not be accepted, Ms. Doe will have no choice but to file suit in a court of law and see all legal remedies available. We will of course provide you or your attorney details that identify Ms. Doe once we hear from you.”
