NEW YORK — JAY-Z’s attorney has strongly dismissed recent allegations of sexual assault, arguing that inconsistencies in the accuser’s story, combined with evidence, will prove the case “impossible” and “false.”
Prominent attorney Alex Spiro, who represents the rap mogul, addressed the media on Monday, December 16, following statements from the accuser—identified as Jane Doe—who admitted errors in her account while maintaining her claims. The case centres on allegations that JAY-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulted a woman at an MTV VMA afterparty when she was 13.
Speaking to reporters, Spiro confidently asserted his client’s innocence and called the case unsustainable.
“Obviously, JAY-Z did not rape a child,” Spiro stated, as reported by ABC News. “Eventually, this will all crumble because it can’t possibly have happened mathematically.”
Key Evidence and Inconsistencies
Spiro emphasised what he called irrefutable evidence disproving Doe’s timeline of events. He noted photographic evidence showing JAY-Z and Diddy in another location during the alleged incident. Additionally, Doe claimed to have met a celebrity at the event, but that individual later denied being present, stating they were on tour in the Midwest at the time.
Further discrepancies emerged when Doe asserted that her father drove ten hours to pick her up after the alleged assault. However, in a recent interview, her father admitted he could not recall making such a trip.
“It’s not just that this story is a lie and that it’s not true,” Spiro argued. “It’s provably demonstrably false. This never happened.”
JAY-Z Frustrated by Allegations
Spiro conveyed JAY-Z’s frustration over the allegations, stating that the case undermines genuine victims of abuse.
“He’s upset that somebody would be allowed to do this,” Spiro said. “He’s upset that this distracts and dissuades real victims from coming forward. He’s also upset that his kids and family have to deal with this.”
While addressing JAY-Z’s professional relationship with Diddy, Spiro sought to distance his client from any association with Combs’ ongoing legal troubles.
“JAY-Z and Diddy knew each other professionally for a number of years,” Spiro explained. “Just like in all professions, people know each other at award shows and events. That’s where the connection ends.”
Background and Context
The allegations surfaced amid heightened scrutiny over Diddy, who has faced multiple accusations in recent months. This case, however, has drawn significant attention due to its severity and the inclusion of two of hip-hop’s most prominent figures.
Spiro’s remarks come as JAY-Z’s legal team pushes for a dismissal, citing both factual and procedural weaknesses in the allegations.
The case is being closely watched by legal analysts, with many questioning its viability given the emerging inconsistencies and the evidence presented by JAY-Z’s defence.
As proceedings continue, Spiro remains confident that his client will be fully exonerated.
This case highlights the challenges of navigating high-profile allegations, especially in the entertainment industry, where legal battles often play out under intense media scrutiny. For now, JAY-Z’s defence team is relying on a strategy centred around evidence and factual contradictions to dismantle the claims.
