Jennifer Lopez allegedly named "Celebrity B" by Jay-Z's lawyer in Diddy lawsuit
A YouTuber known as BJ Investigates recently shared a video on social media claiming that Jennifer Lopez might be the "Celebrity B" mentioned in a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The YouTuber alleged that Jay-Z's attorney, Alex Shapiro, may have unintentionally disclosed Lopez's name in the case.
In the viral clip, she said: "I think Alex Shapiro needs to calm down & take on less clients because I'm pretty sure he just accidentally exposed who 'Celebrity B' is, in the Jane Doe lawsuit against Diddy and Jay-Z..."
She explained that she was reviewing a legal filing submitted by Alex Shapiro, aiming to dismiss the case against Jay-Z. The YouTuber then read from the filing, which stated: "Mr. Combs and Ms. Jennifer Lopez [were] both at Lotus and Twirl."
For context, earlier this month, an anonymous woman filed a civil suit accusing Jay-Z and Diddy of raping her in 2000 when she was 13.
The lawsuit also mentions an unnamed individual referred to as "Celebrity B," who was allegedly with Diddy during the assault. According to FOX News, the complainant identified another person as "Celebrity A," who reportedly witnessed the assault. Since the filing, speculation about the identities of these individuals has been ongoing.
The complainant claimed that "Celebrity B" only observed while Diddy and Jay-Z allegedly r*ped her. Regarding the anonymous celebrity, defense attorney Julia Jayne suggested they are unlikely to address the allegations publicly.
According to FOX News, Julia stated: "Likely, that celebrity's name will come out, but no celebrity wants to be associated with this case, even as a witness. It would be negative publicity."
Julia further noted that "Celebrity B" might already be seeking legal counsel. Oleg Nekritin, another defense attorney from the Law Offices of Robert J. DeGroot, also shared his perspective on the situation and the potential involvement of the unnamed celebrity.
