Last December Jay Z accused Houston attorney Tony Buzbee of extortion after he named Jay Z in a lawsuit filed against Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, accusing them of rxping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty twenty-five years ago [click here if you missed that].
Now a judge has tentatively ruled that Jay can move forward with his extortion lawsuit against Buzbee...
A judge on Wednesday said new information about the woman who accused Jay-Z of rape should save his extortion claim against lawyer Tony Buzbee.
Declarations from investigators who interviewed the woman at her home in Alabama indicate she “at least inferentially” didn’t authorize Buzbee to send a demand letter, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark Epstein said in a 50-page ruling.
Epstein’s order reverses his previous ruling that the extortion claim should be dismissed, but it’s not final: He continued the hearing to April 7 in his Santa Monica courtroom.
