The relentless legal saga between Jay-Z and Tony Buzbee is continuing this week and the former is not playing around. According to TMZ, Hov and his attorney, Alex Spiro, are filing a motion to seek sanction for Tony Buzbee. He's the lawyer representing the Jane Doe who is alleging that Jay-Z and Diddy both raped her at the 2000 MTV VMAs after-party when she was just 13. However, following a recent interview between the Jane Doe and NBC News, she admitted to making "mistakes" in her initial filing.
Even though she's standing by her allegations, this has let the door swing wide open for Jay-Z to attack. He's now taking full advantage of that with this motion to sanction Buzbee and he's poking all sorts of holes in their "false" lawsuit. He's highlighting the fact that the Houston lawyer did not think to retract the documents following that aforementioned sit-down.

The Roc Nation mogul then goes on to point out various alleged fallacies. For example, he focuses on where the Jane Doe says she was allegedly raped. She mentioned that it was "a large white residence with a gated U-shaped driveway. But Jay was allegedly never there, as photos of him at the Lotus nightclub in Manhattan following the award show.
Additionally, he targets her claim that her dad came to pick up following the sexual assault, but that her father stated that he doesn't remember doing that. Jay mentions how its supposedly a 10-hour roundtrip from where she claims she was to her parents' home in Rochester. He goes on the offensive with other key elements to the Doe's story, but it's clear that Jay feels that Tony Buzbee slipped up by not making any adjustments and is looking to effectively tarnish his name. Buzbee did speak to TMZ following this motion stating, "With each frantic filing, Mr. Spiro’s team reeks of desperation. Mr. Spiro and his team think the laws and rules don’t apply to them. They are flat wrong. They also think they can bully or intimidate counsel by filing meritless and frivolous pleadings full of lies and half truths... We won’t be bullied or intimidated, ever."
