Jay-Z rape accuser formally withdraws allegation


Carter had vehemently denied the accusations, saying they were a “blackmail attempt” and describing them as “frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations”.

When the accuser dropped her case in February 2025, the rapper, who is married to singer Beyoncé, said: “The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.”

The woman, from Alabama, has now been removed from Carter’s lawsuit.

She said she had not received any money from the rap superstar or anyone acting on his behalf, and had not been paid to make her latest declaration.

The rapper is still suing the woman’s former lawyers, led by Tony Buzbee.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, external, which first reported Jane Doe’s new declaration, Buzbee said he had not seen it.

He said: “We have multiple lawyers (at least four) who dealt with Ms Doe long before she met me. She gave the exact same story to each. If for some reason now she is claiming she lied to us and the court, that’s new information.”

When Carter filed his lawsuit against the woman and her lawyers in February 2025, Buzbee claimed at the time that Carter’s investigators had “repeatedly harassed, threatened and harangued this poor woman for weeks, trying to intimidate her and make her recant her story”.

In her new declaration, the woman said: “I never received any threat from Mr Carter or anyone acting on his behalf.”
