Beyoncé and Jay-Z are no longer involved in a sexual assault lawsuit against music producer Sean “Diddy” Combs. Joseph Manzaro, the man who filed the case, submitted an updated complaint to a Florida court on April 11. He removed the celebrity couple from the list of people allegedly present at a 2015 party where the incident occurred.

Lawyers Submit Evidence of Their Whereabouts

According to People magazine, the couple’s legal team gave strong proof that they were not in Florida at the time. Jay-Z attended a public event at New York University. After that, he traveled to Hawaii with Beyoncé. Media reports from that period confirmed their schedule.

Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, firmly rejected the claim.

Other Celebrities No Longer Named

Although Beyoncé and Jay-Z were never named as defendants, the original filing listed them as possible witnesses. The same went for basketball star LeBron James and singer Gloria Estefan. However, the updated lawsuit now leaves out all of them. Only Emilio Estefan remains named in the case.

Combs’s lawyers have completely denied the accusations.

Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court, where these lies, and the perverse motives of those who told them — will be revealed.”
