Summary
Jay-Z’s legal bid to sue lawyer Tony Buzbee over pre-litigation statements has been shut down by the California Court of Appeal, which ruled his case fails under anti-SLAPP laws designed to protect free speech. The dispute stems from Jane Doe’s 2024 lawsuit accusing Jay-Z and Diddy of assaulting her at age 13 — claims Jay-Z denied as “frivolous” and “fictitious,” calling Buzbee’s handling of the case a “blackmail attempt.” Though Jane Doe later dropped her suit against both men in exchange for Jay-Z’s promise not to harass her, investigators later claimed she said Buzbee pressured her to name Jay-Z — a claim she denies, saying she withdrew due to intimidation. With this appellate ruling, Jay-Z’s counterclaim against Buzbee is effectively over — unless he appeals to the state supreme court, where his legal team may still push back.
