What happened with the civil lawsuit against Jay-Z and why was it dismissed?
The civil lawsuit against Jay-Z, which alleged he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000, was dismissed with prejudice. Attorney Tony Busby filed for this dismissal, meaning the case cannot be refiled. Jay-Z strongly denied the allegations from the beginning, and in his statement called the claims 'frivolous, fictitious and appalling.' He mentioned that red flags about the accuser's story started emerging, suggesting the lawsuit lacked merit. Jay-Z characterized the situation as a failed 'money grab' attempt by a '1-800-lawyer' hiding behind a Jane Doe plaintiff.
