but, you know, tony buzbee represents 120 clients involved in this. and he said the day will come when he would name names other than sean combs, but he wouldn't do it until he had his, you know, for lack of a better word, his ducks in a row. well, today is that day, and there is perhaps no bigger name that he could have dropped than jay-z. so did jay-z know this was coming? it's hard to say. i mean, he did issue that statement before the news cycle really began heating up on sunday night. not only does the civil complaint say that jay-z raped this 13 year old girl, it also says, though, that he was present during a lot of the other sexual encounters. so if you're jay-z's team, you're hoping this is a one off thing and that other women don't start coming forward, and he himself becomes perhaps a magnet for other accusers. and there are two ways, jesse, of looking at this. right. so jay-z's response was so strong, even going so far as to say, you should file criminal charges. is that something a guilty man says? so in other words, if you were being acc

tony buzbee at the time told me that that's not true, that he is not extorting him. he said that it's very typical to send a demand letter and try to settle something privately so that jay-z, jay-z's name, wouldn't be out there. but now he did put his name out there in this amended suit. now, i want to read you part of what jay-z said. he actually references his family. he says his only heartbreak is for his family. quote, my wife and i, of course beyonce will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims and explain the cruelty and greed of people now, i've reached out to a representative for beyonce. no word yet from her. don't know if we will hear anything from her, but i reached out to buzbee last night because jay-z is coming out against this. so strongly, and he tells me the pleading speaks for itself. this is a very serious matter that will be litigated in court. it's very interesting. >> jay-z also saying that if they really want to go, that they should g
