The lawsuit was initially filed against Combs in October, but on Sunday, the woman added Shawn Carter, the rapper and businessman known as Jay-Z, as a defendant in the civil lawsuit.
Carter is the first celebrity to be accused of sexual assault in connection to Combs.
In a statement addressed to CNN, Carter called the allegations 맥스카지노so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?맥스카지노
Combs was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and prostitution-related charges. Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and has denied all wrongdoing in roughly 30 civil lawsuits that have been filed against him.
The woman, who is identified as a Jane Doe, says she was 13 years old at the time she was allegedly assaulted by Combs and Carter at an after-party following the Video Music Awards in 2000. The woman alleges she began to feel woozy after consuming a drink at the party and wandered into a nearby bedroom. The woman alleges Carter raped her first, followed by Combs. The woman says she hit Combs and ran out of the party, according to the amended lawsuit.
Carter was identified in the initial lawsuit as Celebrity A.
News of the lawsuit was first reported by NBC.
According to the lawsuit, the Doe맥스카지노s attorneys reached out to Carter to request 맥스카지노a mediation to resolve this matter.맥스카지노
맥스카지노Upon present information and belief, Jay-Z responded to said letter by not only filing an utterly frivolous lawsuit, but by also orchestrating a conspiracy of harassment, bullying and intimidation against Plaintiff맥스카지노s lawyers, their families, employees and former associates in an attempt to silence Plaintiff from naming Jay-Z herein. This effort was meant to scare Plaintiff and to discredit her counsel. That effort failed. Indeed, Plaintiff chose to file this amendment as a result of the egregious conduct perpetuated by Carter,맥스카지노 according to the lawsuit.
In his response sent to CNN on Sunday 맥스카지노 which was addressed to Doe맥스카지노s attorney 맥스카지노 Carter called the mediation request a 맥스카지노blackmail attempt.맥스카지노 Carter also said this lawyer, 맥스카지노who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics!맥스카지노
In a statement from Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee on Saturday, he wrote, 맥스카지노The pleading speaks for itself. This is a very serious matter that will be litigated in court.맥스카지노
CNN has also reached out to Jay-Z맥스카지노s wife, Beyonce Knowles, for comment.
Carter added in his statement that his 맥스카지노only heartbreak맥스카지노 is for his family: 맥스카지노My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people. I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age.맥스카지노
CNN reported in November that an anonymous male celebrity filed a lawsuit against the Texas attorney representing the Doe, alleging he was the victim of an extortion scheme.
The celebrity accused Buzbee and his firm of 맥스카지노shamelessly attempting to extort exorbitant sums from him or else publicly file wildly false horrific allegations against him.맥스카지노
Attorneys for the unnamed celebrity claimed further that Buzbee had 맥스카지노threatened to unleash entirely fabricated and salacious allegations of sexual assault맥스카지노 that included 맥스카지노multiple instances of rape of a minor, both male and female맥스카지노 if their client 맥스카지노refuses to comply with their demands.맥스카지노
Buzbee denied the extortion claims against him in an in which he wrote that his firm 맥스카지노won맥스카지노t allow the powerful and their high-dollar lawyers to intimidate or silence sexual assault survivors.맥스카지노
맥스카지노If you are trying to hide your identity and you claim you did nothing wrong, doesn맥스카지노t seem very smart to take this approach,맥스카지노 Buzbee told CNN in an email at the time. 맥스카지노We will address it in due course.맥스카지노
맥스카지노I have confidence that with full public disclosure, all of this will sort itself out,맥스카지노 Buzbee wrote.
On Sunday, Buzbee responded on social media to Carter맥스카지노s statement, saying that the alleged victim 맥스카지노never demanded a penny from him,맥스카지노 claiming they only sought confidential mediation. Buzbee added, 맥스카지노She is emboldened. I맥스카지노m very proud of her resolve.맥스카지노
