Billboard And USA today also reported that the woman felt pressured to falsely link her case to Combs in a December 10 letter from Jay-Z’s attorney Alex Shapiro, addressed to the judge overseeing the case.

Mr. Combs and his team of attorneys have complete confidence in the facts, their legal defense and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually abused anyone, adults or minors, male or female.”
