Jay-Z Believes Rape Allegation Makes 'A Mockery of the System'
Lawyer shared new insight into how his client reacted to the recent rape allegation against him.
“He’s upset,” Spiro, 41, said of Jay-Z, 55, during a roundtable with press at Roc Nation’s NYC offices on Monday, December 16, which Us Weekly attended. “He’s upset that somebody would be allowed to do this, would make a mockery of the system like this. He’s upset that this distracts and dissuades real victims from coming forward.”
Spiro added that Jay-Z was also hurt over how the accusations have affected his family, including wife and their three children: Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Sir and Rumi, 8.
“He’s upset that his kids and his family have to deal with this,” Spiro continued. “He’s upset and he should be upset.”

On Sunday, December 8, news broke that Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) was named alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs in a civil lawsuit filed by Buzbee. According to NBC News, the legal paperwork accused Jay-Z, 55, of allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 […]During the Monday roundtable, Spiro began by stating that Jay-Z “did not rape a child” before giving a presentation that detailed alleged holes in the accuser’s story. (The woman came forward last week acknowledging the inconsistencies in her account but stood by her claims.)
News broke earlier this month that and Jay-Z were named in a civil lawsuit where an anonymous woman, who has been referred to as Jane Doe, accused the two rappers of raping her in 2000 at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty when she was 13. The lawsuit was initially filed in October with only Diddy, 55, named in the paperwork.
Attorney — who is representing more than 100 people claiming to be victims of Diddy — refiled the lawsuit on December 8 to include Jay-Z. Both musicians have denied the “heinous” allegations, and the Roc Nation founder has already filed to dismiss the court case. Jay-Z has also slammed Buzbee multiple times for his involvement with the case, and Spiro offered more criticism on Monday.
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic“This lawyer took advantage of this. That’s what’s going on here. And you can see here now that this is starting to unravel and the truth is coming out, he’s starting to walk away from it,” Spiro claimed. “He’s saying, ‘Oh, sorry. This case was referred to our firm by another firm, so I didn’t really check it out.’ It’s basically what he said, right?”
He continued: “He brings an accusation like this, attacks a man with the integrity of Mr. Carter, and all he has to say for himself now is, ‘Well, I didn’t really check on this. I got a referral trying to make a little bit of money. So we just went live with it.’”

We will continue to vet her claims and collect corroborating data to the extent it exists. Because we have interrogated her intensely, she has even agreed to submit to a polygraph. I’ve never had a client suggest that before.”
