Jane Doe has withdrawn her civil lawsuit against Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, alleging rape when she was 13 at a 2000 MTV after-party. The case was dismissed with prejudice, blocking re-filing. Jay-Z’s attorney called the ruling a victory, dismissing the allegations as false. Meanwhile, Combs faces numerous other sexual assault allegations and awaits trial on federal sex trafficking charges in May 2025. Both Jay-Z and Combs have maintained their innocence and have criticized the validity of Doe’s claims, which were contested on grounds of inconsistencies. This lawsuit was the only one naming Jay-Z as a defendant.
