The Jane Doe who accused Jay-Z of sexual assault in a startling lawsuit two years ago has now fully recanted her allegations, saying in a new court declaration that her claims were false, that she never met the Roc Nation mogul, and that she had disclosed certain “mental health conditions” to her legal team before they publicly named the Grammy-winning rapper in her lawsuit in December 2024.
