A lawyer for Jay-Z says that high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee pressured his former client, a Jane Doe, into falsely accusing the rapper (aka Shawn Carter) of sexual assault alongside imprisoned music mogul Diddy (aka Sean Combs), according to a motion filed on Tuesday.
“Plaintiff’s attorney Anthony Buzbee has engaged in a campaign to leverage unfounded and heinous allegations against celebrities to secure large settlements. He seeks neither justice nor peace for his victims — he seeks only to benefit himself,” the legal document, which was obtained by TheWrap, read.
Buzbee has infamously represented at least two dozen people with accusations of sexual assault and other similar grievances against Combs — while promising as many as 120 total allegations in the works.
