Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the suit filed by Buzbee&#8217;s firm, the accuser said that the sexual assault occurred at a house party following the VMAs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The accuser was hoping to attend the VMAs as a &#8216;bucket list&#8217; aspiration, according to the lawsuit, and &#8216;believed she could gain entry.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-c7a436fe2e3c760\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/12\/09\/00\/92941699-14172049-image-a-62_1733705242508.jpg\" alt=\"Jay-Z issued a lengthy statement Sunday denying the claims made in the re-filed lawsuit\" width=\"634\" height=\"634\" data-gallery-handler-attached=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Jay-Z issued a lengthy statement Sunday denying the claims made in the re-filed lawsuit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-6feec1a4d5a1122f\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/12\/09\/01\/92941923-14172049-image-a-70_1733706009931.jpg\" alt=\"Jay-Z pictured during the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in NYC\" width=\"634\" height=\"966\" data-gallery-handler-attached=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Jay-Z pictured during the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in NYC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-11aca8deeb550d1d\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/12\/09\/00\/92941307-14172049-image-a-47_1733704290643.jpg\" alt=\"Jay-Z, 55, was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, at a party after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in a civil lawsuit filed Sunday.
