Previously, there were reports of inconsistencies in her statements, and her father denied certain details related to the case. However, the judge rejected Jay-Z’s legal team’s request to expedite the trial process and force the plaintiff to reveal her identity.
Jay-Z and Diddy have denied all allegations, calling the claims a “blackmail attempt.” In a previous statement, Jay-Z described the accusations as “false and demonstrably untrue.”
The decision to allow Jane Doe to remain anonymous, for now, is a significant step. However, the judge noted that she might be required to disclose her identity later, enabling Jay-Z’s lawyers to gather necessary information for trial preparation. In similar cases, accusers often wish to remain anonymous to avoid public scrutiny and pressure.
