Combs, 55, was sued in October by an anonymous Jane Doe, who claimed that the disgraced music mogul and an unnamed male celebrity raped her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty held at a New York City residence in 2000. On Dec. 8 Doe filed an amended suit, identifying Jay-Z (né Shawn Carter) as the male celebrity. She also claims a third, unnamed female celebrity watched the alleged assault.

Shortly after the amended complaint was filed, Carter, 55, declared his innocence in a statement posted to his company Roc Nation’s X account that slammed Doe’s attorney Tony Buzbee for what he called a “blackmail attempt.”
