The filing was submitted by Texas-based attorney Tony Busby, but the plaintiff, quote, hereby gives notice that the action is voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. Because the dismissal is with prejudice, the lawsuit cannot again be refiled in its current form, which obviously is a huge victory for Diddy, but an even bigger victory for Jay-Z, who this was the only real connection that Jay-Z had

to the Diddy case was this lawsuit here. And so Roc Nation issued a statement signed by Jay-Z referring to the dismissal as a victory. And it reads, quote, the frivolous, fictitious, and appalling allegations have been dismissed. This civil suit was without merit and was never going anywhere. The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims.

And then Jay-Z gets personal, saying, the trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones, and I have endured can never be dismissed. The courts must protect the innocent from being accused without a shred of evidence. May the truth prevail for all victims and those falsely accused equally.

And not only does this exonerate Diddy in this case and Jay-Z, but remember this was the case where there was that third female mystery celebrity. Celebrity B. Yeah, Celebrity B who allegedly watched and watched was involved, now this alleged celebrity who was there is also off the hook if they ever existed in the first place.

Never named, and we were never going to speculate. Our lawyers would never let us get away with that.

Hi, thank you so much for having me on your show. Thank you for being with us. You're from in sunny Florida. I'm so jealous. Marjorie was working on a story, I think, today about the latest filings.

You mentioned that each individual case, you know, it's kind of difficult to do a class action lawsuit. But what we've seen in a lot of these allegations are really a similar pattern where someone claims that they were given a drink and then they felt woozy and then they woke up and, you know, woke up to being allegedly assaulted.

So I do wonder if because a lot of these stories are so similar, if that would assist in a potential class action lawsuit.

And the criminal trial right now is set for May 5th. And we've asked many of our guests who have a legal background if they think that the May 5th date is going to hold up. And we actually will go to trial on that date. What do you think?

We have so much more coming up, but for now, let's pause for a break.

This is such a high profile case, Kelly. And I mean, obviously we've been covering it for 23 weeks now. How much more difficult does that make the job for both the prosecution and for Diddy's team?
