In a lawsuit, JAY-Z is requesting the identity of Jane Doe, who accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was just 13 years old. Jay-Z and his lawyer, Alex Spiro, are adamantly battling to get her anonymity lifted, according to court records that AllHipHop was able to obtain.
The documents, which were filed on Monday, December 9, stated that “this named Defendant has been the victim of an extortionate campaign under cover of darkness for months.” “The effort was unscrupulous and designed to get the defendant to pay a disproportionate amount of money—X million dollars, regardless of the truth, or else.”This nameless Plaintiff and her self-promoting attorney, whose name has been splashed throughout headlines and press conferences under the guise of defending her, went to great lengths to shut down a fair defense when the Defendant refused to pay and instead took steps to prove his innocence.
However, such attempts too fell short. Although this Plaintiff is bringing them as a Doe, who would continue to stay under the shadows, the fraudulent, baseless accusations that underpin this extortion attempt are finally being brought to light by the courts.
The documents continue by calling Jane Doe’s and lawyer Tony Buzbee’s strategies “unfair” and demanding that the accusations be fully dropped or that her identify be revealed.
The documents go on to say that “it is not consistent with justice, fairness, or the rules governing federal proceedings for the Plaintiff and her counsel to smear Defendant’s good name in ways that are calculated to feed media coverage and thus inflict maximum public-relations damage while the core fact of Plaintiff’s identity, which if revealed, stands to discredit her entire case, remains wholly hidden from view.” “As other justices of this Court have concluded in situations involving the same circumstances, a variety of significant considerations cut precisely the opposite direction here—whereas Doe status is reserved for very extraordinary cases and reliant upon extraordinary reasoning.”
JAY-Z stands accused of assaulting the young girl at a 2000 MTV after-party alongside Diddy, who’s currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on multiple charges. Initially filed in October in the Southern District of New York, the lawsuit first had Diddy listed as the sole defendant but was amended on Sunday (December 8) to include JAY-Z. 
The Roc Nation mogul was approached about the allegations before the refiling, leading him to believe the suit is nothing but an extortion attempt.
JAY-Z quickly addressed the allegations, writing in part, “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!”
