Combs and Carter are accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl at a party after the MTV Video Music Awards, according to an updated lawsuit filed on December 8. The victim, Jane Doe, claims that she became confused after consuming a reddish-yellow beverage.
She alleges that Combs, Carter, and an unidentified female celebrity chased her while she sought safety in a private room, with Combs allegedly saying, “You ready to party!” prior to the alleged attack.
Although Lopez’s name is not included in the lawsuit, pictures appear to show her at the same event, arguing with Combs while wearing a rainbow little tube dress.
Lopez is seen in the photos, which were taken at the now-closed Lotus nightclub in New York City, frowning at her ex-boyfriend before leaving.
Between 1999 and 2001, Lopez and Combs’ relationship was characterized by public upheaval, including a 1999 nightclub shooting that resulted in Combs’ incarceration.
Lopez’s attendance at the event has rekindled curiosity in her relationship with Combs at the time, despite the lack of evidence that she knew about or took part in the alleged attack.
According to Jane Doe’s lawsuit, a female celebrity saw the assault happen but chose not to stop it. The description has sparked conjecture, even if the identity of the unnamed individual is unknown. Lopez is not involved in the case and has not responded to the allegations or the released images.
Jay-Z, who has flatly refuted the accusations, called them horrible and, if such crimes had taken place, sought criminal charges. Would you not agree that someone who would perpetrate such a crime against a youngster ought to be imprisoned? This was said by Carter in a statement.
Combs has not made any public remarks regarding this lawsuit. He is now being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center on separate counts of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The reemergence of these accusations has exacerbated Combs’ already existing legal issues, and he is set to stand trial on federal charges in May 2025.
His case has already drawn a lot of attention, and the lawsuit that names both him and Jay-Z has made the moguls’ well-known careers more problematic.
Lopez, meanwhile, has continued to concentrate on her career, most notably promoting the movie Unstoppable alongside Ben Affleck, her now-estranged spouse.
The singer and actress has not talked about her relationship with Combs or her link to the published photos despite the public’s fascination.
According to legal experts, Lopez is unlikely to face any immediate legal repercussions from the resurrected photos, but she might become involved in the case’s public discussion.
