On the latest episode of RSVP with Jill Munroe, we get into the latest swirl of entertainment controversies. Two high-profile legal battles have captured public attention.
Jay-Z, the iconic rapper and business mogul, has been named as a co-defendant in a refiled lawsuit accusing him and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was taken to a party, given a drink that left her disoriented, and subsequently assaulted by Jay-Z and Diddy while an unnamed female celebrity allegedly observed.
Jay-Z has vehemently denied these allegations, describing them as a blackmail attempt orchestrated by attorney Tony Buzbee. He expressed deep concern over the impact of these claims on his family, particularly his children with Beyoncé. Diddy’s legal team has also refuted the accusations, labeling them unfounded and part of a series of publicity stunts. This development adds another layer to Diddy’s existing legal challenges, as he faces federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, with a trial scheduled for May 2025.

Meanwhile, in the sports and entertainment intersection, NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor is embroiled in a legal dispute with his ex-girlfriend, model Draya Michele. The contention centers around a Southern California home that Taylor purchased in August 2022. Michele claims there was a verbal agreement for her to buy the $3.2 million property, with her contributions to home improvements counting towards the purchase price. She alleges that during a business trip, sheriffs arrived to evict her and her children from the home.
In June, Michele filed a lawsuit against Taylor for breach of contract, seeking to enforce the alleged agreement and prevent eviction. Taylor has remained silent publicly, focusing on his role with the New York Jets. This case highlights the complexities that can arise when personal relationships intersect with financial agreements, especially in the public eye.
Lastly, there might be a new celebrity couple in the mix. Over the weekend at DJ Khalid’s “We The Best” event during Art Basel in Miami, paparazzi cameras spotted Michael Jordan’s son Marcus booed up with Nicole Murphy, Eddie’s ex.
