Woman Withdraws Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Jay-Z and Sean Combs

The plaintiff’s attorney confirmed the withdrawal of the New York civil case, originally filed with allegations from 2000, without providing a reason.

• The woman accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Jay-Z of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit, claiming she was drugged and assaulted at a party in 2000 when she was 13 years old.
• The lawsuit was initially filed in October 2024 and refiled in December 2024 to include Jay-Z as a defendant alongside Combs.
• On Friday, the plaintiff's attorney, Tony Buzbee, officially withdrew the lawsuit without disclosing any reasons for the decision.
• Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter, called the allegations baseless and described the withdrawal as a victory for his family, which he said had been deeply affected by the claims.
• Sean Combs, who faces numerous other allegations of sexual misconduct and criminal charges including sex trafficking, remains in custody with his trial scheduled to begin in May.
