Jay‑Z Accuser Seeks to Keep Name Sealed in $20 Million Defamation Case

The request cites a psychiatrist's warning that unmasking her would cause catastrophic harm to her mental health.

Overview

  • The judge has not ruled on the anonymity bid, and the next hearing date has not been set.
  • The filing says investigators previously cornered her at home, and it describes ongoing threats and harassment if her identity becomes public.
  • Jay‑Z is pursuing defamation claims that cite specific financial losses, including lost deals and denials of a $55 million credit line and a $115 million loan to Roc Nation.
  • The woman dismissed her 2024 assault lawsuit in February, later saying she feared retaliation, while Jay‑Z and Roc Nation called the allegations frivolous and false.
  • Her side has moved to dismiss Jay‑Z’s case without success, a separate defamation suit against her attorneys was thrown out in July, and earlier leaked audio reportedly showed her saying Tony Buzbee pushed her to sue.
