“You should always fight for what happened to you,” the unidentified woman, who singled out Jane Doe in the legal documents, said in an interview with the magazine.

In a civil lawsuit filed against Jay Z (real name Shawn Carter) and Sean “Diddy” Combs On December 8, Doe claimed that she was invited to an MTV Music Video Awards after-party in 2000 by a driver who claimed to work for Diddy. The woman was 13 years old at the time of the incident The alleged incidentShe claimed she was given a drink that she believed was a drug. (The lawsuit was initially filed on November 18 listing only Diddy and was refiled the following month by lawyer Tony Buzbee To include Jay-Z.)
Doe claimed she went to find an empty room to rest in when Diddy, Jay-Z and an unnamed famous woman entered. Du claimed That Diddy “threw her on the bed” and Jay-Z took off her clothes and held her down while raping her, while Diddy and the star both watched.
“Jay Z came over, grabbed me. “I start trying to get away,” she told NBC News on Friday. “He put his hand over my mouth, told me to stop it, to stop talking, and then he raped me like he overpowered me.” .
Jay-Z and Diddy, both 55, have strongly expressed their anger He denied these accusations.
“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Anyone who commits such a crime against a minor should be imprisoned, don't you agree? Jay Z said in a statement to: Us Weekly After news of the lawsuit spread. “These alleged victims deserve real justice if that is the case.” (Jay-Z's statement was also shared via Roc Nation's official Instagram account.)
After the alleged incident, Doe ran away from home and went to a nearby gas station to call her father to pick her up.
“I was upset, and the person at the gas station could tell I was visibly upset, and she let me use the phone. I called my dad because he was the only person I (trusted) at the time. I told him I messed up and I needed a ride home.” We rode home in silence. He didn't ask me what happened. He did not ask me what I did or where I was.”
In addition to Jay-Z and Diddy's claim that the incident never happened, Doe's father came forward to NBC News on Thursday, December 12, saying that he did not remember picking up his daughter that evening from the gas station, which was about five hours away from their home. Doe, for her part, stands by her claims.
“There's a lot of things, and these are things we constantly argue about, something he said or did in New York around that time period that he doesn't remember,” she said Friday. “It actually causes a lot of fights sometimes in the family.”
Doe also claimed to have spoken to her Joel and Benji Madden during the after-party, but the Good Charlotte band members stated that they did not attend because they were on tour at the time. Du explained that the other faces at the event were not clear.
“Honestly, the clearest thing is what happened to me and the path I took to what happened to me. “Not all the faces there are clear,” she said. “So I made some mistakes. Maybe I misidentified myself.”
There were also inconsistencies in Doe's description of the house where the incident allegedly occurred. Doe's lawyer and his team are trying to confirm the location.
Doe shared that prior to the lawsuit, she never told anyone about the alleged assault.
“Even if someone finds out, who will believe me?” she told NBC News. “It means it was the words of two celebrities against me.”
