The woman accusing JAY-Z of raping her at a Puffy Party in 2000 when she was 13 gave an interview with NBC News.
Her account of the incident has significant inconsistencies.
According to Jane Doe, both Hov and Diddy raped her after a VMA afterparty that took place in a mansion with a circular driveway while an unnamed female celebrity watched. She says she was drugged before the assault.
Jane lived in Rochester, NY, at the time and said a friend had driven her five hours to Manhattan so she could try to get into the VMAs. While she wasn’t able to, a limo driver spotted her and invited her to Diddy’s afterparty, where she encountered other celebrities before she was raped.
As for the inconsistencies:
The woman said her father drove from Rochester to pick her up after the assault. However, her dad told NBC News he has no recollection of any ten-hour round trip to pick up his 13-year-old daughter who had gone missing.
The woman speaks of a very detailed conversation with Good Charlotte singer Benji Madden before the assault. (She doesn’t accuse Madden of any wrongdoing.) However, Madden’s reps tell NBC he wasn’t at the 2000 VMAs, and his band was on tour in the Midwest.
JAY and Diddy were photographed attending an afterparty at the Manhattan nightclub Lotus on the night of the 2000 VMAs. Lotus looks nothing like the mansion the woman says she was raped in. While it’s possible JAY and Puff went to another afterparty after Lotus- perhaps in the NYC suburbs where there could be a home like the one she described- there is no evidence they did.
In addition, the person she says drove her from Rochester to NY– who would be in their 40s — has died, so they can’t substantiate her story.
When confronted by the inconsistencies in her account, the woman concedes that parts of the night are fuzzy, but she clearly remembers the rape.
“Honestly, what is the clearest is what happened to me and [the] route that I took to what happened to me. Not all of the faces there are as clear,” the woman said in the Friday follow-up interview. “So I have made some mistakes. I may have made a mistake in identifying.”
JAY-Z continues to vehemently deny he did anything wrong.
“This incident didn’t happen,” Carter told NBC News in a statement Friday,
The woman alleging JAY-Z r*ped her at 13 has spoken out for the first time in a new interview.
According to NBC News, her story reportedly contains several inconsistencies.
