This Was Over Before It Began

Shawn Carter, known as Jay-Z, is reacting to a new report from his rape accuser where she acknowledges she has “made some mistakes” recalling the allegations.

Beyoncé’s husband shared a statement claiming “True Justice is coming” and doubled down, saying “the incident didn’t happen.”

“Today’s investigative report proves this ‘attorney’ Buzbee filed a false complaint against me in the pursuit of money and fame,” Carter said in a statement shared by his company Roc Nation. “This incident didn’t happen and yet he filed it in court and doubled down in the press.”

He continued, “True Justice is coming. We fight FROM victory, not FOR victory. This was over before it began. This 1-800 lawyer doesn’t realize it yet, but, soon.”

In a new interview with NBC News, an Alabama woman acknowledged the inconsistencies in her allegations where she claims Jay-Z and Diddy raped her when she was 13 years old.

“I have made some mistakes,” she told NBC News.

However, the woman, identified as Jane Doe, maintains that the overall allegations are true despite some of the details not being consistent. One claim she made was that her father picked her up following the alleged assault but her father doesn’t remember that.

Jay-Z’s lawyer Alex Spiro also shared a statement saying, “It is stunning that a lawyer would not only file such a serious complaint without proper vetting, but would make things worse by further peddling this false story in the press. We are asking the Court to dismiss this frivolous case today, and will take up the matter of additional discipline for Mr. Buzbee and all the lawyers that filed the complaint.”
