The woman, whose identity is unknown, retracted her accusations.
In a new court filing, the woman who sued Jay-Z said there was no truth to her accusations and that she had never met the rapper. She also denied receiving money from him or anyone acting on his behalf, TMZ reported.
Her new lawyer, James Blair Newman Jr., added an important nuance: she maintains that she was sexually assaulted, but that she was mistaken in identifying Jay-Z.
Thus, the retraction concerns the accusations against the musician, not a denial that she experienced an assault.
The report says the lawsuit was filed in December 2024 and withdrawn in February 2025. It also reports that the woman apologized to Jay-Z and his family. ⚖️
