Jay-Z has filed a court motion demanding the Jane Doe accuser who named him in a recent Diddy lawsuit reveal her identity. The accuser claims Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) and Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted her when she was 13 years old at a VMAs afterparty in 2000.

Carter's attorney, Alex Spiro, argues that the allegations are "patently false" and part of a "campaign of extortion" by attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents multiple accusers against Combs. The motion emphasizes that Carter should not have to defend himself against an anonymous accuser, particularly given the serious nature of the allegations and potential damage to his reputation.

While sexual abuse plaintiffs can sometimes proceed anonymously if there's a significant risk of retaliation, such cases are uncommon. Judges have already required other Jane Doe accusers in related civil suits against Combs to reveal their identities.

The lawsuit initially referred to Carter as "Celebrity A" before being amended to name him directly. Buzbee claims to represent 120 individuals alleging victimization by Combs and has filed over a dozen civil lawsuits, many from anonymous plaintiffs.
