The anonymous lady accused Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z, whose actual name is Shawn Carter, of raping her when she was 13 years old following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. She filed the lawsuit in October and filed it again in December.
The accusations were refuted by both musicians.
The woman's attorney, Tony Buzbee, and his co-counsel, David Fortney, are also accused by Jay-Z of masterminding her case in his defamation complaint, which was filed in a federal court in Alabama.
The scores of lawsuits Mr. Buzbee has filed on behalf of people alleging Mr. Combs of sexual misconduct, extortion, violence, and other offenses have made headlines across the world.
All of the accusations have been refuted by Mr. Combs.
In addition, he has entered a not guilty plea to federal sex-trafficking and racketeering allegations.According to Jay-Z's defamation lawsuit, the woman told his legal team that her attorneys had forced her to make the untrue claims.
It claims that she stated, "Buzbee brought Jay-Z into it."
According to the defamation lawsuit, Mr. Buzbee "pushed [her] towards going forward" with the false story in order to bolster the case and extract more money, even though she acknowledged that Jay-Z "did not sexually assault [her]."
Jay-Z's action also highlights purported inconsistencies in the woman's interview with NBC News from the previous year, such as mentioning another famous visitor at the MTV party who, in fact, had been performing that evening in a place hundreds of miles away.
