A #California judge reversed course again Monday and fully dismissed #JAYZ’s extortion and defamation case against Texas lawyer #TonyBuzbee. In a 65-page ruling, #LosAngelesCounty Judge #MarkEpstein said he was not “wholly satisfied” with his decision, but he tried to balance the competing interests at play and would wait for the Court of Appeal to step in to determine whether he was “right or wrong.” He ended his ruling with the phrase, “stay tuned.” Shawn Carter, sued Buzbee last year with claims the high-profile Houston attorney knew he was peddling lies when he filed a lawsuit accusing Carter of being the male celebrity who r-ped a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs at a #NewYork party 25 years ago. Carter claims Buzbee sent him two demand letters in early November to squeeze him for money. He claims that weeks later, Buzbee named him as a co-defendant in the Jane Doe’s lawsuit against Combs because he refused to pay up in a secret settlement. 👀 via rollingstone
