A civil lawsuit has been filed against rap moguls Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z (Shawn Carter), with severe allegations of sexual assault. The suit claims both men raped a 13-year-old girl during an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Here are seven shocking details from the lawsuit:
Rape Allegations Against Jay-Z and P. Diddy
The lawsuit accuses Jay-Z and P. Diddy of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. According to the plaintiff, the two men assaulted her while a third celebrity, referred to as “Celebrity B,” allegedly watched.
Invitation to the Afterparty
The victim, who did not have a ticket to the awards show, claims she was approached by a limo driver outside Radio City Music Hall. The driver, allegedly working for Combs, invited her to the afterparty, saying she was the kind of girl Combs liked.
Drugged and Disoriented
At the afterparty, the plaintiff says she accepted a drink from a waitress. The drink made her feel light-headed and woozy. She then went to lie down in a bedroom, where the assault allegedly took place.
Non-Disclosure Agreement
Upon arrival at the afterparty, the victim was reportedly asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement, promising not to discuss what occurred at the event. She signed the document but did not receive a copy.
The Assault
The lawsuit describes how Combs allegedly threw the victim into a bedroom, where Jay-Z started removing her clothes. The plaintiff claims that Jay-Z raped her, with Combs holding her down. Afterward, Combs allegedly tried to force her to perform oral sex, but she managed to fight him off.
Identity of Celebrity B
The identity of “Celebrity B,” the woman who allegedly witnessed the assault, remains unclear. There is speculation that it could have been Jennifer Lopez, who was dating Combs at the time, but this has not been confirmed.
Denials from Jay-Z and Combs
Both Jay-Z and P. Diddy have denied the allegations. Jay-Z called the accusations “heinous” and accused the plaintiff’s lawyer, Tony Busby, of attempting blackmail.
