Jay-Z has been officially served with a sexual assault lawsuit at his Malibu mansion, where the head of security received the complaint while confirming the property belongs to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

The lawsuit, filed by an anonymous Jane Doe plaintiff, alleges that Jay-Z sexually assaulted her when she was 13 years old. Despite Jay-Z's attempts to reveal the accuser's identity, the court has maintained the plaintiff's right to proceed anonymously, though this position may change during discovery.

The case has several notable developments:

  • Additional documentation was mailed to Jay-Z's residence, including a declaration from attorney Tony Buzbee supporting the anonymous filing
  • Jay-Z previously highlighted alleged inconsistencies in the accuser's story
  • The allegations also involve Diddy, who faces separate criminal charges
  • The lawsuit claims an unnamed female celebrity witnessed the alleged assault

A separate legal battle has emerged between Jay-Z and attorney Tony Buzbee, with Jay-Z filing a 236-page extortion lawsuit against Buzbee in December. Buzbee, who represents over 200 alleged victims of Diddy, countered with allegations that Roc Nation attempted to influence his former clients to file lawsuits against his firm.

While the NFL currently maintains its relationship with Jay-Z, the ongoing legal proceedings and allegations could potentially impact his business partnerships and public image. The 55-year-old artist also faces separate paternity claims from an alleged "illegitimate son."
