Jay-Z's lawyer is claiming there are 'glaring red flags' in the civil suit that alleges he raped a 13-year-old girl and he is calling for sanctions against the accuser's lawyer. Alex Spiro filed a 30-page motion that claimed to unravel inconsistencies in her story and demanded measures be taken against the accuser's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, for causing 'extraordinary harm' to the rapper.
But Buzbee fired back in a statement to DailyMail.com, saying Spiro's filing 'reeks of desperation' and is 'full of lies'. Texas-based Buzbee, who has filed dozens of lawsuits against Diddy, said: 'Mr. Spiro and his firm are paid by the hour. So, they file a lot of junk with the court.'.
The war of words between the two sides has been raging for weeks over the suit – which was filed in a federal court in New York. The woman, who is now a 38-year-old mother of two, claimed that the assault happened at a home where she was taken after the VMAs in September 2000.
