Here’s Why JAY-Z Amended His Lawsuit Against Jane Doe & Tony Buzbee

JAY-Z believes the woman who accused him of sexual assault and her attorney are still trying to ruin his reputation even after they dropped their high-profile lawsuit against him.

The Roc Nation founder's legal team filed an amended defamation lawsuit against Jane Doe and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, on Monday, May 5. The lawsuit was updated to include additional claims that Doe "continues to display a shocking and reckless disregard for the truth that is both intentional and malicious." Hov's attorneys pointed to a specific TikTok post the Alabama resident made that implies that she still stands by her claims even if they aren't true.

"You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to get an apology video out of me, I stand on what I said, f**k you," the woman allegedly lip-synced over a viral audio track.

Jane Doe and Buzbee voluntarily dropped the sexual assault lawsuit against JAY-Z in February because Doe reportedly feared retribution from the 55-year-old rapper, born Shawn Carter. They dismissed the lawsuit months after Doe accused him and Sean "Diddy" Combs of raping her at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13. Despite dropping the case, Doe defended her allegations against both artists and refused to withdraw her claims.

Buzbee didn't stand down against Hov either. In the amended lawsuit, Carter alleged over 100 "positive edits" were made to Buzbee's Wikipedia page by IP addresses connected to the attorney's law firm. He claimed the changes boosted Buzbee's reputation while tarnishing JAY-Z and his company. Buzbee called the allegations in the amended lawsuit "laughable and weak."

"I’m trying to wrap my head around this creative pleading," Buzbee told TMZ. "As I understand it, the new argument is that someone amending Wikipedia about me harms his reputation? That’s laughable and super weak. I don’t have anything to do with Wikipedia and haven’t looked at it in years. That’s super weak."

JAY-Z's legal team claims their client and his label lost nearly $200 million after Doe made the allegations. They said his business lost out on a $20 million contract, and his requests for a $55 million personal credit line and a $115 million loan were denied. He's seeking unspecified damages and a trial.
