In simply two brief weeks, lawyer Tony Buzbee came upon simply who Jay-Z is. Ever for the reason that “99 Issues” rapper was named in one of many many civil fits in opposition to Sean “Diddy” Combs, the 2 have engaged in a reasonably public backwards and forwards in each the courts and on-line, main varied allegations and tales about Buzbee to come back to gentle within the wake of their authorized battle.
As we reported, Buzbee is representing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accusers, together with one Jane Doe who alleges the disgraced rapper and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter raped her in 2000. Since then, Jay-Z has been aggressively preventing again in opposition to the claims, as the 2 have gone backwards and forwards with one another in a really public method.
The day after Jay-Z was named within the swimsuit, he fought again in a press release by way of Roc Nation, alleging that his authorized workforce acquired a “blackmail try” from Buzbee. “What he had calculated was the character of those allegations and the general public scrutiny would make me need to settle,” the assertion learn, with Jay-Z including that it had the “reverse” impact, with him aiming to “expose” Buzbee for the “fraud” he believes him to be.
From then on, the 2 hit one another backwards and forwards within the press, with Buzbee going to information shops along with his personal sequence of occasions and allegations that Jay-Z and his authorized workforce have been those attempting to intimidate him, by contacting relations and former purchasers. Simply final week, Buzbee filed a lawsuit in opposition to Roc Nation, claiming that the rapper’s attorneys allegedly “supplied a former shopper cash in trade for turning on Buzbee,” per TMZ,
A spokesperson for Roc Nation naturally denied this, calling it a “baloney” lawsuit and a “pathetic try to distract and deflect consideration,” all whereas Jay filed a movement to “speedily extract” his title from the headline-making Jane Doe lawsuit fully, citing the accuser’s current TV interview through which she acknowledged inconsistencies in her story, as we reported.
Simply if you thought issues couldn’t get messier between the 2, on Friday, Buzbee obtained hit with a separate lawsuit in opposition to him through which a Jane Doe alleges that Buzbee knowingly gave her an STI. The lawsuit claims that Buzbee supplied her free authorized recommendation in trade for silence on the difficulty, and likewise alleges he assaulted her with a champagne flute.
