Buzbee subsequently sent a letter demanding compensation from the woman’s then-spouse, accusing him of infecting her. Despite this, Doe’s ex continued with their divorce proceedings without hesitation, the complaint states. Before entering mediation, the man requested information about Buzbee, which led the attorney to urge Doe to quickly settle the divorce to avoid revealing incriminating documents related to his alleged fraud and role in infecting her with a venereal disease. The settlement reportedly resulted in significant financial loss for Doe, and included an arbitration clause that prevented her from pursuing further legal action in the divorce. The lawsuit alleges that Buzbee was aware of the risk of passing on the disease to Doe if precautions were not taken. When this risk became a reality, he allegedly manipulated her into protecting his reputation as a licensed attorney.
According to the lawsuit, after a reported sexual encounter in 2018, Doe continued to see Buzbee. The attorney allegedly became possessive of Doe, taking her on trips to Panama and New York City on his private jet to keep her close. One night at a New York City bar, Buzbee became jealous when he saw Doe talking to someone else and violently smashed a glass into her face, causing her front teeth to chip. Doe refrained from reporting the incident out of fear of Buzbee’s potential reactions.
The woman is seeking unspecified damages for Buzbee’s alleged misconduct, and is also seeking to have the divorce settlement declared null and void due to Buzbee’s alleged malpractice. The lawsuit claims that Buzbee’s actions deprived her of her rightful share of the marital assets.
Buzbee made headlines for his legal battles involving Diddy, accusing the music mogul of rape in five new lawsuits. Jay-Z’s legal team criticized Buzbee’s lawsuits against Diddy as part of an extortion scheme. Buzbee announced a series of civil lawsuits against Combs, stating that 120 accusers were planning to bring forth allegations of sexual assault, rape, drug-facilitated sex, dissemination of video recordings, and sexual abuse of minors involving the Grammy-winning rapper over incidents dating back to 1991. Buzbee was also involved in legal action against Combs for alleged assault of minors, including drugging and raping a 10-year-old boy and raping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in the 2000s. Jay-Z was named as a co-assailant in the amended lawsuit, leading him to denounce Buzbee as a fraud and accuse him of blackmail.
“Buzbee pretends to be speaking truth to power, but that is far from the truth,” claimed Jay-Z’s attorneys in their recent filing. They have accused Buzbee of engaging in a form of “extortion” aimed at high-profile individuals associated with Combs. The attorneys assert that Buzbee and his associates have created what they describe as a “pocket industry” centered around leveraging the courage of victims who have come forward to target innocent celebrities, politicians, and businesspeople with a network of anonymous accusers.
In response to these allegations, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, took further legal action by sending a letter to the judge overseeing the case on December 10th. In this correspondence, Spiro raised doubts about the credibility of Buzbee’s law firm. He alleged that Buzbee and his team had previously pressured a client to include Combs in their accusations.
When questioned about these claims by USA TODAY, Buzbee dismissed them as “patently ridiculous.” He emphasized that there was no need for his firm to coerce individuals into pursuing cases, as they were already managing a substantial caseload. Buzbee’s firm’s stance on the matter suggests a strong rebuttal to the accusations put forth by Jay-Z’s legal representatives.
