Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accuser has admitted there are “inconsistencies” in her memory of the night of the alleged rape.
On Friday, the Alabama woman known as Jane Doe sat down NBC News and admitted he had made “some mistakes” when he said he was sexually assaulted by two rap moguls 24 years ago.
“I made some mistakes,” the woman told the outlet. She claims the accusations she made against Jay-Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, and Combs are true.

One of the “mistakes” Jane Doe made was that her father picked her up after the alleged assault, but he doesn’t remember it, according to NBC News. The woman also claimed to have spoken to an unnamed celebrity at the after-party, where she claimed she was sexually assaulted, but the celebrity has said they were not in New York at the time of the event, according to the outlet.

The unknown woman ended up with one VMAs after party after attempting to gain entry to the awards ceremony at Radio City Music Hall, according to court documents.
“I made some mistakes.”
On Friday, Jay-Z shared a statement with the outlet, continuing to shut down Jane Doe’s claims against him.
“This incident didn’t happen and yet he filed it in court and got a lot of press coverage,” Jay-Z said, referring to one of the woman’s attorneys, Tony Buzbee. “True justice is coming. We fight FROM victory, not FOR victory. This was over before it started. This 1-800 attorney doesn’t know it yet, but soon.”
The lawsuit accuses Jay-Z and Diddy of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000, Fox News Digital previously confirmed. Before Jay-Z was mentioned, the rapper received a demand letter, likely in an attempt at a settlement.

Buzbee shared a statement with the outlet, claiming he would continue to fight for his client.
“Jane Doe’s case was referred to our firm by another person, who vetted the case before sending it to us,” he told the newspaper in a statement. “Our client remains adamant that what she has stated is true to the best of her recollection. We will continue to investigate her claims and gather supporting data where it exists. Because we interviewed her extensively, she even agreed to submit to a polygraph. I’ve never had that happen to a client before.
“Regardless, we always do our best to investigate every claim, just as we did in this case. This was extremely painful for her, to the point where she suffered seizures and had to seek medical treatment due to the stress. Buzbee concluded.
Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, shared a statement with NBC News. “It is mind-boggling that a lawyer would not only file such a serious complaint without proper vetting, but make matters worse by spreading this false story further in the press. We ask the Court to dismiss this frivolous case today and will take it up for hearing.” the issue of additional discipline for Mr. Buzbee and all attorneys who filed the complaint.”

Jay-Z’s lawyer calls this lawsuit a “shameful money grab.” Buzbee has filed more than two dozen lawsuits against Combs.
Fox News Digital reached out to Spiro and Buzbee for comment.

The woman, who still refuses to be identified, told NBC why she decided to come forward with her story now. She accused Jay-Z and Combs of raping her when she was 13 and she is now 38.
“You always have to fight for what happened to you,” she told the outlet. “You should always stand up for yourself and be a voice for yourself. You should never let what someone else has done ruin or control your life. I just hope that I can give others the strength to come forward the way I came forward .”

In the lawsuit, Jane Doe alleged that she was given a drink by a cocktail waitress at the VMA after-party and “started feeling funny” and “tried to find a place to lie down.”
Diddy, Jay-Z and an unknown woman entered the room where Jane Doe was lying. “You’re ready to party!” she recalled Combs saying as she entered the room, according to the lawsuit.
She then claimed that both Combs and Jay-Z raped her.
“Jay-Z comes over to me, holds me down. I try to push away. He puts his hand over my mouth, tells me to stop it, to stop it and then he rapes me like he has overpowered me.” she said, according to the lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, she claimed to have left the party immediately after the alleged assault.
“I was upset, and the person at the gas station could see that I was clearly upset, and she let me use the phone. I called my dad because he was the only person I trusted at the time. I told him that I messed up and I needed a ride home,” Jane Doe told NBC News. “We drove home in silence. He didn’t ask me what I was doing or where I was.”

The unidentified woman told the newspaper that she had never told anyone about the alleged rape and had not written it down in a diary.

Combs was first accused in October of raping a 13-year-old while celebrities looked on. The lawsuit was filed on October 20 in the Southern District of New York by Texas-based attorney Buzbee on behalf of Jane Doe.
Diddy denied the allegations in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. Jay-Z has been added to Jane Doe’s trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs on December 8. The amended complaint, also filed by Tony Buzbee, referred to the rap mogul as “Celebrity A.”
In the new version of the lawsuit, the 13-year-old became disoriented and found a bedroom to rest after allegedly consuming one drink. Jay-Z, Diddy and female “Celebrity B” apparently followed the girl into the room. She “immediately recognized all three celebrities,” the court document said.
