Jay-Z's rape accuser has submitted new court filings challenging his countersuit, maintaining her allegations despite previously dropping her original lawsuit.

The anonymous accuser (Jane Doe) stated in Los Angeles court documents that she refused to recant her story when approached by Jay-Z's investigators, describing the experience as "intimidating and terrifying." She explained that she dropped her initial case due to fears of public exposure and backlash from Jay-Z's supporters, not because her claims were false.

Her filing directly contradicts Jay-Z's defamation countersuit, which alleges she and attorney Tony Buzbee fabricated the sexual assault allegations from 2000 for financial gain.

Carter's legal team has responded by:

• Filing sworn statements from private investigators claiming Jane Doe admitted the assault never happened
• Claiming she stated Buzbee pushed her to include Jay-Z in the lawsuit
• Requesting permission to depose both Jane Doe and Buzbee under oath

Buzbee strongly denies these allegations, stating:

• Another law firm initially took the case in October
• His firm received it weeks later after vetting
• Documentation proves he didn't suggest suing Jay-Z

Jay-Z maintains the accusations are a "blackmail attempt" and claims Buzbee is trying to extort settlements by falsely connecting celebrities to Sean "Diddy" Combs, who currently faces federal charges in New York.
