AceShowbiz - Jay-Z's former music video star has weighed in on allegations that the hip-hop mogul raped a minor back in 2000. Elizabeth Oveson, who claims she slept with the rapper and appeared in one of his videos, says the allegations were not shocking to her.
The author, who wrote memoir "Video Vixen" chronicling hip-hop's underground world of sex and drugs, says the allegations against Jay-Z are part of a larger pattern. She believes that the lawsuit was a consequence of the MeToo movement.
"None of this is shocking, and it's all part of the same movement," she writes in an email to the Daily Beast, referencing the 2017 #MeToo movement, which she says caused a "chain reaction." She believes that Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Jigga, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and other alleged sex predators were connected due to their same pattern.
"I'm not sure why people are separating this wave of Black music executives/artists from the original #MeToo investigations and arrests," Elizabeth adds. "From (Bill) Cosby, (Harvey) Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and the hundreds in between-they're all connected."
"They all know the same people with few degrees of separation between them," the author claims. "They have the same handlers, go to the same parties, share each other's jets, yachts, and islands, and they abide by the same lawless code. What we've seen lately with (P. Diddy), and now Carter isn’t a different set of events."
Elizabeth believes there are "still hundreds more men to be accused, found guilty, and fall." And that's not including the women who helped. "Ghislaine Maxwell wasn't the only one," she adds. "With society finally understanding the basic definitions of sexual, physical, and emotional coercion and abuse, I hope to see more abusive men and women in this, and all industries being held accountable."
In an amended lawsuit filed on Sunday, December 8, a woman claims she was raped by the "Wishing on a Star" emcee while Diddy and an unnamed female celebrity watched at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
Jay-Z has fiercely denied the allegations and subsequently filed a complaint asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit or for her identity to be "disclosed immediately" to the public. He also accused Tony Buzbee, who represents the accuser, of blackmail attempt.
