Jay-Z is seeking dismissal of a sexual assault lawsuit and sanctions against the plaintiff's attorney, Tony Buzbee, in a case where an anonymous accuser claims she was assaulted at a VMAs afterparty in 2000.

Key developments in the case:

• The accuser is one of over 200 alleged victims represented by Buzbee in various cases involving Diddy
• Multiple alleged inconsistencies have emerged in the accuser's story following an NBC News interview
• Photos show Jay-Z at a nightclub on the evening in question, not at the private residence described in the complaint
• The accuser's father has no recollection of picking her up after the alleged incident
• At least one celebrity mentioned by the accuser was proven to be in a different state at the time

Jay-Z's legal team argues these inconsistencies warrant dismissal and sanctions, stating: "Attorneys should not be permitted to destroy a person's reputation by alleging facts without a sufficient investigation."

Buzbee has defended his client's account by:

• Refuting the reported inconsistencies
• Citing a thorough vetting process
• Explaining the nightclub wasn't claimed as the assault location
• Noting the father's "personal issues" affected his memory of events

A federal judge has granted Jay-Z's request to file the dismissal motion, while the accuser currently maintains anonymity as the case proceeds.
