The Carter clan in turmoil
However this week, the incredible performance of Beyoncé and her daughter unfortunately been marred by the recent request made by Jay-Z's lawyer, linked to the P.Diddy affair. Indeed, Tina Knowles' stepson is accused of having raped a 13-year-old girl in the early 2000s, with Kim Porter's ex-husband targeted to date by several complaints for rape and sexual assault. The long-awaited trial of Sean Combs, his real name, will take place in May 2025.

The Court will not expedite the legal process simply because counsel requests it.”
According to the teams of PeopleAnalisa Torres would have even rejected a new request filed by Me Alex Shapiro, Jay-Z's lawyer, to cancel the complaint on the grounds that the alleged victim did not reveal her identity. “Carter was at Combs' side during many of the incidents described herein. Both perpetrators must be brought to justice“, it was noted, on the complaint. In the midst of turmoil and attacked from all sides, the great friend of Jean Reno had the capacity of lawyer in charge of the case to be “a deplorable human“His lawyer has clearly not said his last word…
P. Diddy and Jay-Z remain presumed innocent of the charges against them until the case is closed.
