Jennifer Lopez has found herself inadvertently entangled in the resurfaced Jay-Z scandal after unearthed photos captured her in a heated argument with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs on the same night the two men stand accused of a shocking crime.
The lawsuit, recently amended and revealed Sunday, accuses Jay-Z, 55, and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV VMAs in New York City.Â
Disturbingly, the court documents allege that a third celebrity – a woman – was present in the room and witnessed the alleged assault.
While there is no suggestion that Jennifer Lopez is the unnamed woman, newly surfaced images obtained by DailyMail.com show the singer and actress in a tense confrontation with Diddy on the very night in question.Â
The striking photos have thrust both the altercation and the dark allegations surrounding the evening back into the public spotlight.
J.Lo’s relationship with Diddy, which spanned from 1999 to 2001, has long been a source of public fascination and scrutiny, casting a shadow over her otherwise stellar career.Â
Initially filed in October, the lawsuit was updated on Sunday to name Jay-Z, 55, as the second alleged perpetrator alongside Diddy.Â
According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the victim, identified only as Jane Doe, alleges she was drugged, left alone, and intoxicated before the two men took turns assaulting her.
The lawsuit claims: “Defendant Sean Combs… along with his lifetime friend and collaborator Shawn Carter, drugged and raped a thirteen-year-old at an afterparty following the music awards.Â
Another celebrity stood by and watched as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the minor.”
The third individual, described in the complaint as a well-known female celebrity, has not been publicly identified but was allegedly present during the assault.
Jane Doe’s account describes how she traveled to Radio City Music Hall with a friend on the night of September 7, 2000, in the hopes of attending the VMAs.Â
Without a ticket, she watched the event on a jumbotron outside before attempting to gain access by speaking with limousine drivers, eventually finding her way to an afterparty where the assault reportedly took place.
