Jay-Z denies raping 13-yearold girl with Diddy in 2000
The Independent
|December 10, 2024
Jay-Z has denied allegations that he drugged and raped a 13year-old girl along with Sean "Diddy" Combs during an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000.

A federal lawsuit, which originally only named Mr Combs, was refiled in federal court on Sunday. It cites the accuser, "Jane Doe", who alleges she was assaulted at the house party by the two music moguls and that an unnamed female celebrity was in the room at the time.
In a statement shared on social media, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, branded the legal action as a "blackmail attempt".
Mr Combs is in jail after being charged in September with sex trafficking and racketeering, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

"You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all 'celebrities' are the same. I'm not from your moral world. I'm a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn," Mr Carter wrote in a fiery statement addressed to lawyer Tony Buzbee posted on Sunday afternoon, Variety reports.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole
As you might expect, the “sermon near the Mount”, as delivered by Donald Trump to the Knesset in Jerusalem, was less a case of “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God” as “Blessed are you lot to have me, and you will call me your peacemaker.”

Striking a powerful chord to destigmatise menopause
Well, this is a bit of a downer, isn't it? Those were my precise thoughts about halfway through the first episode of Riot Women, the new BBC One drama from Happy Valley mastermind Sally Wainwright. Like Happy Valley, it's set around Calderdale in West Yorkshire; like Happy Valley, its focus is firmly trained on women in midlife. But somehow, the introductory 30 minutes or so of Riot Women seemed to be even more depressing than a show that dealt with inherited trauma, addiction, murder and sexual assault. Or so I thought.
