The woman accusing Jay-Z and Diddy of sexual assault sat down with NBC News for an exclusive interview.

The Alabama woman who claims Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped her nearly 25 years ago has broken her silence during an interview with NBC News addressing the allegations. The unnamed woman shared her story, acknowledging it has many inconsistencies — details her legal team also acknowledges. Nevertheless, the woman remains steadfast in her claims. 

Jay-Z, real name Sean Carter, who swiftly and publicly denied the sexual assault allegations earlier this week, responded to the woman’s most recent allegations to NBC.

“You should always fight for what happened to you,” the Jane Doe accuser told the publication. “You should always advocate for yourself and be a voice for yourself. You should never let what somebody else did ruin or run your life. I just hope I can give others the strength to come forward like I came forward.” 

Both Jay-Z and Diddy have strongly denied the allegations, with their attorneys calling the case “false” and a “shameful money grab.” Jay-Z told NBC News in a statement: “This incident didn’t happen.”

Alex Spiro, the hip-hop mogul’s attorney, defended his client, saying: “It is stunning that a lawyer would not only file such a serious complaint without proper vetting, but would make things worse by further peddling this false story in the press.”
