A woman who claims she was sexually abused by Sean “Diddy” Combs has amended her lawsuit to include allegations that she was also abused by Jay-Z at the same party.

The lawsuit was initially filed against Combs in October, but on Sunday the woman added Shawn Carter, the rapper and businessman known as Jay-Z, as a defendant in the civil suit.

Carter is the first celebrity to be accused of sexual assault in connection with Combs.

In a statement sent to CNN, Carter called the allegations “so heinous that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil lawsuit!!” Whoever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked up, don’t you think they are too Opinion?”

Combs was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and prostitution. Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied any wrongdoing in about 30 civil lawsuits filed against him.

The woman, identified as Jane Doe, says she was 13 years old when she was allegedly attacked by Combs and Carter at an after-party following the Video Music Awards in 2000. The woman claims she started feeling light-headed after drinking a drink at the party and went to a nearby bedroom. The woman claims Carter raped her first, followed by Combs. The woman said she hit Combs and fled the party, the amended complaint states.

Carter was identified as Celebrity A in the first lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, Doe’s attorneys contacted Carter and “requested mediation to resolve this matter.”

“According to available information and beliefs, Jay-Z responded to the letter by not only filing a completely frivolous lawsuit, but also orchestrating a conspiracy of harassment, victimization and intimidation against the plaintiff’s attorneys, their families, associates and former employees in order to to prevent this from preventing the plaintiff from mentioning Jay-Z by name here. These efforts were intended to frighten the plaintiff and discredit her attorney. This attempt failed. In fact, it is because of Carter’s egregious conduct that plaintiff chose to file this amendment,” the lawsuit states.

In his response sent to CNN on Sunday and addressed to Doe’s attorney, Carter called the mediation request an “extortion attempt.” Carter also said that this lawyer, “who I did a little research on, seems to have a pattern of this kind of theatrics!”

In a statement from Buzbee on Saturday, he wrote: “The plea speaks for itself. This is a very serious matter that will be heard in court.”

CNN has also reached out to Jay-Z’s wife Beyoncé Knowles for comment.

Carter added in his statement that his “only sorrow” was his family: “My wife and I have to sit down our children, one of whom is at the age when their friends will certainly see the press and ask questions about nature .” of these claims and explain people’s cruelty and greed. I mourn another loss of my innocence. Children shouldn’t have to endure this at a young age.”

CNN reported in November that an anonymous male celebrity had filed a lawsuit against the Texas lawyer representing the DOE, claiming he was the victim of an extortion scheme.

The celebrity accused Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee and his firm of “shamelessly attempting to extort exorbitant sums of money from him or publicly making completely false, horrific allegations against him.”

The unnamed celebrity’s lawyers further claimed that Buzbee “threatened to make completely fabricated and salacious allegations of sexual assault,” including “multiple counts of rape of a minor, both male and female,” if her client ” refuses to comply with their demands.” ”

Buzbee denied the extortion allegations against him, writing in an Instagram post that his firm “will not allow the powerful and their expensive lawyers to intimidate or silence sexual assault survivors” and in a statement to CNN.

“If you’re trying to hide your identity and claim you’ve done nothing wrong, it doesn’t seem very wise to take that approach,” Buzbee told CNN in an email at the time. “We will deal with this in due course.”

“I am confident that this will all sort itself out when the public is fully informed,” Buzbee wrote.
