Jay-Z Court Update: Rapper Suffers Loss in Attempt to Have Rape Accuser's Identity Revealed, Judge Calls Out His Legal Team

Jay-Z suffered a loss in court after being sued for sexual assault.

The 55-year-old rapper (whose real name is Shawn Carter) was named in a sexual assault lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs earlier this month. The pair was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

He slammed the allegations in a statement at the time and attempted to have the court reveal the identity of his accuser.

However, the latest update reveals that Jay did not get his way. It also revealed that his legal team was called out by the judge managing the case.

According to reporting by Variety, New York Judge Analisa Torres allowed the Jane Doe accuser to maintain her anonymity “at least for now.” Any attempts to have the lawsuit thrown out were also denied.

Analisa also called out Jay‘s legal team, accusing them of “relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks [on accuser’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee].”

“Since Carter’s attorney first appeared in this case seventeen days ago, he has submitted a litany of letters and motions attempting to impugn the character of Plaintiff’s lawyer [Buzbee],” she wrote, adding that the motions were “inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client [Jay-Z].”

A member of Jay‘s family was accused of “liking” a post about the rape lawsuit. See what they had to say.
