JAY-Z’s conflict with Tony Buzbee, the attorney for his unnamed rape accuser, has intensified, as the lawyer now asserts that Hov’s legal team is attempting to sway his clients against him through bribery.
On Tuesday (December 10), Buzbee took to social media to claim that the lawyers of the mogul offered $1,000 to at least one client from his law firm’s roster, regarding his Jane Doe client who alleges she was raped by JAY-Z and Diddy as a minor in 2000.
He additionally released an image that seems to show the supposed “investigators,” along with an alleged transcript of a recorded dialogue between the men and his client.
“Officials from New York have reached out to several of our law firm’s past and present clients,” he noted. “These researchers lack intelligence.” What they didn’t foresee was that one of the clients chose to record the discussion.
“It’s surprising and unlawful.” “Here is a segment extracted directly from the transcript of the communication.”
The purported transcript reveals an investigator informing Buzbee’s client that they might “receive payment,” referencing another individual who was paid $1,000 for consenting to “take the right path.”
Buzbee remarked in a statement to Deadline: “JAY-Z’s team appears frantic and apparently unmanaged. Their investigators have recently been recorded on video proposing one thousand dollars to current clients of our firm to sue us.
“This behavior is unethical and unlawful.” “Consequences will arrive shortly.”
Buzbee’s accusation follows closely after JAY-Z’s legal team made a shocking statement of their own against the Texas attorney.
Earlier on Tuesday, Hov’s legal team submitted an affidavit alleging that Buzbee attempted to pressure someone into making false rape allegations against Diddy.
It has been reported that an unidentified woman reached out to them earlier this week to discuss her experience with Buzbee’s legal firm. The lawsuit asserts that she reached out to the company in October regarding trafficking and abuse accusations that were not connected to either Diddy or JAY-Z.
Nonetheless, the law firm supposedly guided her narrative towards Diddy, inquiring about her meeting with the Bad Boy mogul and pressuring her to file a lawsuit against him anonymously, something she declined.
“She sensed that Mr. Buzbee’s firm was guiding and coaching her to claim that someone restrained her and forced drugs into her mouth, despite that not being her experience.” “The affidavit states, ‘She felt compelled to deceive.'”
“When the woman expressed her refusal to conform to the story presented by Mr. Buzbee’s firm and insisted on sharing her own truth, she was dismissed as a client.”
Buzbee — facing lawsuits from two ex-clients in recent weeks — has rejected the accusations, calling them “clearly absurd.”
The exchange comes after a lawsuit was submitted on Sunday (December 8) alleging that JAY-Z raped a 13-year-old girl alongside Diddy at an MTV VMAs afterparty 24 years prior.
The Roc Nation leader swiftly dismissed the “terrible” accusations in a forceful statement on social media, where he labeled Buzbee a “despicable individual” with a dubious legal background.
It was subsequently disclosed that Hov had secretly initiated his own lawsuit against Buzbee in November, alleging that the lawyer engaged in extortion.
