Jane Doe Who Accused Jay-Z of Sexual Assault Formally Recants Her Claims
The accuser says Jay-Z was never involved and apologizes, while his lawyers continue a defamation case against her former attorneys.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, Jane Doe filed a 12-page declaration in Manhattan federal court formally recanting her sexual assault allegations against Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter, stating the claims were false and she never met him.
- Doe's allegations originated after she responded to a Facebook advertisement seeking sexual assault claims against Sean 'Diddy' Combs in late 2024, which she said triggered memories of being raped at age 13, connecting her with attorney Tony Buzbee's firm.
- According to the declaration, Buzbee's firm provided $1,000 in cash and allegedly 'coached' her before an NBC News interview, though Doe claims the initial lawsuit was filed without her knowledge or independent investigation of her mental health conditions.
- Following her recantation, Carter voluntarily dismissed Doe as a defendant in his malicious prosecution lawsuit but continues pursuing legal action against Tony Buzbee and his firm for allegedly fabricating claims to extort a financial settlement.
- Attorney Tony Buzbee disputed the recantation, telling Rolling Stone that multiple lawyers vetted Doe's account before filing and that she gave the same story to each, while the federal litigation regarding his firm's conduct remains active.
