Jay-Z has filed a motion to dismiss the sexual assault lawsuit against him, citing significant inconsistencies in the accuser's testimony. The lawsuit, filed in December, alleges an incident from a VMAs afterparty in 2000.

Key points in Jay-Z's dismissal request:

  • The accuser's father denies picking her up after the alleged incident
  • A non-party celebrity refutes being present at the described afterparty
  • Location discrepancies between the lawsuit's description and photographic evidence
  • Questions about basic narrative elements including who, what, when, and where

The accuser's attorney, Tony Buzbee, maintains the allegations' validity, explaining that location discrepancies and memory issues don't invalidate the claim. The plaintiff, now 38, stands by her allegations in a recent NBC News interview.

Jay-Z's legal team argues that allowing the case to continue would:

  • Harm Carter's family, businesses, and legacy
  • Impair judicial system integrity
  • Hinder justice for genuine victims

The 55-year-old rapper has denied all allegations and filed a separate extortion lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents over 200 individuals in sexual assault cases against various celebrities.

The case remains pending as the court considers the motion to dismiss. Jay-Z continues to maintain NFL support while separately dealing with unrelated paternity claims.
