Attorney Tony Buzbee Files To Dismiss Jay-Z’s Defamation Lawsuit Against Him, Claims Music Mogul Backed Out Of Settlement Deal

Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represented the woman who dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against Jay-Z and Diddy, is alleging that Jay backed out of a settlement deal.

According to TMZ, Buzbee recently filed to have the defamation suit Jay-Z brought against him dismissed. Buzbee claims Jay-Z has no legal grounds for the suit, filed it in the wrong state (Alabama, where Jane Doe resides), and reneged on a deal he allegedly made with the accuser.

Buzbee writes in the filing:

“On February 4, 2025, an agreement to resolve the litigation was reached between Doe and Mr. Carter, through their attorneys, which included the voluntary dismissal of the SDNY Action.”

However, Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, dismissed Buzbee’s claims as a “total lie,” stating:

“He brought a false case, lost badly and was forced to dismiss quickly. End of story.”

Buzbee’s legal team insists that they have email exchanges confirming the deal. They claim:

“Spiro’s statement that there was no agreement is a total fabrication… As part of that agreement, Spiro agreed to withdraw the Rule 11 motions for sanctions that he had brought against Mr. Buzbee’s law firm.”

And add:

“We agreed to withdraw the lawsuit that Jane Doe had brought for rape against Jay-Z and Mr. Combs, even though Jane Doe continued to maintain that the allegations in that lawsuit were true… Jay-Z and Spiro agreed not to send any more people to harass and intimidate Jane Doe and her family. One week later, Jay-Z and his lawyer flagrantly breached that agreement by sending supposed investigators to harass and intimidate Jane Doe and her family.”

While Spiro acknowledges Buzbee’s lawyers reached out about dismissing the suit, he says Jay made it clear from the start that he had no intention to settle.
