Last month the woman accusing Roc Nation founder, Jay Z, and Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, of rxping her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty when she was 13-years-old, gave a primetime interview on NBC News full of claims that were quickly debunked [click here if you missed that].
Now Jay is using the interview as leverage to get sanctions against the accuser's attorney, Tony Buzbee...
Jay-Z wants a piece of attorney Tony Buzbee's hide, legally speaking -- he's demanding a court sanction Buzbee for what Jay calls the false rape lawsuit that's damaged his reputation.
In his filing, Jay also points out Buzbee did not withdraw the lawsuit after an NBC News interview with the accuser aired, and cast doubt on most of the details in her allegations.
For instance, she said the attack occurred at "a large white residence with a gated U-shaped driveway" that was about 20 minutes from the VMAs by car. But, there are photographs showing Jay at Lotus nightclub in Manhattan after the awards show.
Also, she claimed her father picked her up after the assault, but her dad has no recollection of that. In the docs, Jay says that journey would have taken her 10-hours roundtrip ... so, seems like something he'd remember.
The woman also claimed she'd watched the VMAs on a Jumbotron outside Radio City Music Hall, but Jay says photos show there was no such screen outside Radio City, and in fact, NYC denied MTV's request to use one.
Finally, Jay points to her claim she spoke to Benji Madden while at the after party -- but after the accuser's interview, Benji's rep told NBC the singer wasn't even in NYC for the 2000 VMAs because Good Charlotte was touring the Midwest.
Jay-Z's overall point is ... all of these details were easily debunked, and if Buzbee had done the slightest bit of homework, he would have discovered all the holes in the woman's story before filing a lawsuit that's so damaging to Jay.
