Gary Coleman’s widow Shannon Price has issued a desperate plea insisting she did not murder her late husband, Knewz.com can reveal.

Price addressed claims made by the Diff’rent Strokes star‘s loved ones in the 2024 Peacock documentary, GARY, in which they alleged she was involved in his 2010 death.

The 39-year-old widow called the accusations “horrible” during an interview with Inside Edition earlier this week.

She declared: “I did not hurt him. I have nothing to hide.”

Coleman died aged 42 in May 2010 after mysteriously falling inside of his Utah home. He suffered an intracranial hemorrhage and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was put in a medically-induced coma.

After his condition failed to improve, Price made the decision to take Coleman off life support.

Although Price and Coleman divorced just a year after they tied the knot in 2007, the former couple shared the home together.

Suspicion surrounding Price and Coleman’s death has largely centered on the 911 call she made after his fall, during which she can be heard refusing to listening to the operator’s instructions on how to assist the gravely injured action.

In the call, Price told the operator: “No, I can’t, it’s like all bloody, and I’m not… I’m not trying to… he, he’s not with it.”

She then defended herself, saying: “I didn’t touch him… nothing happened.”

Inside Edition‘s Jim Moret asked Price why she didn’t “try to help Gary after he fell,” to which she fired back, “You know, I did help him.”

Price added: “I actually had to run around looking for a towel because we didn’t have any in the downstairs bathroom.

“What people have to understand and realize is this is the first real traumatic situation I ever had to witness.”

In the documentary, Price said she was in bed and asked him to make her food after he arrived home from a dialysis treatment. She then claimed she heard a “big loud boom” and when she went to investigate the sound, discovered Coleman on the ground in a pool of blood in their kitchen.

Moret noted Coleman’s inner circle has “point the finger at” her for being somehow responsible for Coleman’s death, to which Price addressed how she felt being painted as the “villain” in the tragic story.

Price said: “When you’re pointing the fingers at me, you better make sure your hands are clean.”

She further highlighted both the police report on the incident and death certificate showed she did not do anything wrong.

Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard previously stated in 2010 that “there was absolutely nothing suspicious about (Coleman’s) death” and a criminal investigation was not being opened.

Howard also noted the child star’s cause of death was listed as an “accident” on his death certificate.

Coleman’s long-time friend and former business manager Dion Mial questioned how he sustained his injuries from a fall due to his height.

Mial said: “We were absolutely stumped, because there were way too many questions with no answers.”

After his death, Price battled Coleman’s family in court for control of his estate.

Caroline Kennedy is gearing up for a showdown with Donald Trump over his Kennedy Center overhaul.

Joe Biden‘s Ambassador to Australia has stepped up to manage the fallout at the landmark institution after the president’s hasty decision to fire the board and name himself as chairman, Knewz.com can reveal.

At 67, Caroline – who holds the title of Emeritus Trustee at the D.C.-based center named after her father, John F. Kennedy – is reportedly gearing up for a meeting with Trump, according to insiders.

She will also be joined by her daughter, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg.

Sources said Rose, 36, and her circle have criticized the Trump administration’s recent stance on trans athletes, and she plans to stand by her mother in confronting the controversy surrounding the institution that carries their family name.

They explained: “Rose told friends that she and her mother are set to have a private meeting with Trump over the Kennedy Center after he ousted the board members and vowed to end its drag show events.”

Rose, the eldest daughter of Caroline and Ed Schlossberg, is known for avoiding the spotlight despite being one of JFK’s grandchildren.

While it’s unclear how she’ll be involved in the meeting with Trump, her interest in the Kennedy Center’s legacy as a filmmaker and artist likely plays a role in her support.

She currently resides with her wife in Ojai, California.

Last week, Trump, 78, took charge of the cultural institution – criticizing its former leadership, assuming the role of chairman, and ousting president Deborah Rutter.

Others within Rutter’s office were also let go.

The Kennedy Center, a leading arts organization with years of bipartisan support, is most known for the Kennedy Center Honors, National Symphony Orchestra, and Washington National Opera.

After becoming the institution’s new leader, Trump wrote in a statement: “It is a great honor to be Chairman of The Kennedy Center, especially with this amazing Board of Trustees. We will make The Kennedy Center a very special and exciting place!”

He took over the position from billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein.

While Rutter had already planned to step down by the end of this year, Rubenstein was set to remain as chair until September 2026.

Alongside Trump will be his ally Richard Grennell, who will serve as an envoy for the president’s administration – further signifying the president’s rapid takeover of the prestigious institution.

The president has famously slammed the center for its “woke” shift and pledged reforms. He also attacked it for hosting drag shows, noting his wider agenda to shrink government and cut agencies.

Trump said: “I think we’re going to do something very special. It got very woke-y, and some people were not happy with it, and some people refused to go. And we’re not going to have that.”

Since Trump became chairman, several celebrities – including Shonda Rhimes and Renee Fleming – have stepped down from their roles at the Kennedy Center.

Vladimir Putin has announced he’ll meet with Donald Trump, after Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky alleged the U.S. president has been duped by Russian misinformation, Knewz.com can reveal.

Putin called the meeting with U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia a “first step” to restoring diplomatic relations with the country.

While speaking at a drone factory in Saint Petersburg, Putin said: “I was briefed (on the talks). I rate them highly, there is a result.

“In my opinion, we made the first step to restore work in various areas of mutual interests.”

The despot added: “It is impossible to solve many issues, including the Ukrainian crisis, without increasing the level of trust between Russia and the United States.”

Putin’s comments followed Zelensky criticizing the Trump administration taking a friendly stance with Russia while he pushed back on several claims the U.S. president made during a press conference earlier this week.

Zelensky expressed he “would like Trump’s team to be more truthful” when addressing Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine, including Trump baselessly claiming Ukraine was to blame for the war breaking out in 2022.

He further pushed back on Trump claiming the U.S. has given Ukraine $500 billion – and shot down the president suggesting his country could pay back the aid with a minerals exploration deal, which Zelensky said was “not a serious conversation.”

Zelensky added: “Look, we all want a victory, and we want Trump to win, and we want Ukraine to win, all of us to succeed.

“But there is nothing clear here… I am protecting Ukraine. I can’t sell it away. I can’t sell our state.”

In regard to U.S. talks with Russia, he said: “I believe that the United States helped Putin to break out of years of isolation… All of this has no positive impact on Ukraine.”

He additionally said the talks came as a “surprise” to Ukrainian officials and sparked fears across his country, as well as Europe, that Ukraine will be left out of negotiations.

Meanwhile, Putin claimed Russia was “not imposing anything on anyone.”

He added: “We are ready, I have already said this a hundred times – if they want, please, let these negotiations take place. And we will be ready to return to the table for negotiations. No one is excluding Ukraine.”

Still, critics and political pundits have raised concerns over Trump’s increasingly cozy relationship with Putin, especially given his past praise of the dictator.

During a 2022 appearance on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Trump called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “genius.”

He said: “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine – of Ukraine – Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.

“He used the word ‘independent’ and ‘we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy.”

A woman who claims to be missing Madeleine McCann has been arrested, just moments after she touched down in Great Britain.

Polish stalker Julia Wandelt recently claimed new DNA evidence “strongly supports” her declaration that she is the little girl who went missing while on a family vacation in Portugal in May 2007, Knewz.com can reveal.

According to reports, police at Bristol Airport surrounded Wandelt, arrested her on suspicion of stalking and harassing Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.

The 23-year-old – who had just flown in from Wroclaw in Poland – had been due to meet a friend, who lives in Cardiff, when she was surrounded by officers in front of stunned passengers.

Wandelt has been accused of stalking the McCann family.

In a previous taped conversation, an officer working on Operation Grange for London‘s Metropolitan Police told the woman: “We know everything that is going on with you…you are not Madeleine McCann.”

He added: “I know that is hard to hear. I have worked on this case since 2011. It’s not been tested (the DNA.) We cannot spend public money on something like that. We know you are not Madeleine McCann.”

But Wandelt has been adamant about her identity for years and doubled down on her theory earlier this week following the results of a new DNA test.

However, a source said that there are plenty of questions about the doctor who gathered the results.

The source said the DNA expert “in no way did a forensic comparison for Julia,” instead he “had a brief look at the data she sent via email and explained what he would need to give his detailed opinion.”

The insider continued: “What Julia has shared is simply the brief email exchange between them in which he states that her ‘DNA is not on the evidence.'”

According to our source, the DNA expert further explained and said: “‘Bottom line: the unknown person presented is not part of the unknown mixture presented.'”

More doubts came when the source revealed the apparent DNA that Wandelt sent off to the DNA expert was sample “SJM/1” from the published Portuguese police files

SJM/1 is a saliva sample from Madeleine’s pillowcase.

The insider also adds Wandelt’s facial comparisons were done using an app: “There is only Julia and a bunch of AI apps.”

Wandelt, however, is adamant her DNA was a “perfect match” to samples taken from the crime scene.

On her new Instagram account, @amijuliawandelt, the maybe-McCann claimed the DNA test was analyzed by “highly respected and recognized world expert, Dr. Monte Miller.”

She alleged the expert compared the DNA she submitted to the crime scene after Madeleine’s disappearance and claimed they matched the missing toddler’s eyes, teeth, and voice.

In another post, Wandelt shared a screenshot from Miller’s apparent testing, which stated the results “strongly supports that Gerry McCann could be Julia Wandelt’s biological father, as the data aligns perfectly with a parent-child relationship.”

Wandelt also took to her Instagram Stories to share side-by-side images of herself and Gerry, in an apparent attempt to show similarities in their facial features, including their nose and smile.

George Clooney isn’t missing his chance to dive into politics on a public stage.

The die-hard Democrat took his Tuesday spot on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to crack a joke about the Capitol riot and snarkily wish Trump “well” in his presidency after facing backlash for urging Biden to step down last year, Knewz.com can reveal.

Clooney, 63, appeared on the CBS talk show to promote his Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck.

The conversation shifted to politics, with the actor – who endorsed Kamala Harris in the last election – sharing he was raised a Democrat in Kentucky and joking how “it has been nothing but fun.”

While Donald Trump was never mentioned by name, the Oscar winner continued to discuss the Democrats’ loss in the 2024 presidential election.

Referencing the 2021 insurrection, Clooney joked: “Well I don’t know, what am I supposed to do? Storm the f—ing Capitol?”

He further referenced the current president, adding: “Good for you. I hope you do well because our country needs it, and we will meet you in 3.5 years and see where we go next.”

This follows Clooney’s op-ed from earlier last year, titled I love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee.

The actor pushed Joe Biden, who was still a candidate at the time, to withdraw from the race to improve the Democrats’ chances of holding onto the White House.

Though clearly disappointed by the 2024 election results, Clooney told Colbert that losing is just a natural part of the democratic system.

He went on: “It’s part of democracy. There are people who agree and disagree, and most of us still like each other, we’re all gonna get through it.”

The Money Monster star shared a personal story in an attempt to connect the race to his normal life, saying: “I have a son who plays in chess tournaments, loves chess.

“He’s seven years old, and he’s playing against a lot of older kids and he is not winning all the time, as you can imagine.

“He gets upset, and I say, ‘Listen, shake the guy’s hand, you say good game, I’ll get you next time.’ And that’s kind of how… you’ve got to live by those rules.”

Colbert then joked about the future election after Clooney reacted to Trump’s July 2024 comment suggesting people wouldn’t need to vote again in four years.

Clooney, who raised $30 million for Biden’s 2024 campaign, was seen as a key figure in encouraging Biden to continue his re-election bid.

In early July, shortly before the Democratic National Convention, Clooney wrote the New York Times op-ed urging Biden to step aside as the nominee.

He praised his character but stated how age and time were working against him, referencing Biden’s performance in the June debate.

Clooney explained: “I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals.

“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big f-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

He further warned Biden would likely lead the party to defeat in the upcoming election, citing concerns shared by numerous lawmakers. He argued how replacing him would re-energize the party and re-engage voters.

Following the op-ed, Biden endorsed Harris as his successor on July 21.

Clooney praised Biden’s decision, calling it a move that “saved Democracy,” and expressed excitement for Harris’s campaign.

He also supported her by narrating an ad targeting male voters about the impact of voting for Trump on women’s lives.

Despite Harris and her running mate Tim Walz’s loss to Trump in the Electoral College, they only narrowly lost the popular vote by 1.5%.

Clooney was quickly blamed by angry liberals for Harris’ election defeat, with devastated Democrats turning on the Hollywood star for urging Biden to step down.

Some Dems felt if Clooney had not gotten involved, Biden may have secured victory due to his appeal to the white working class voter.

Plus, they believed Harris did not have adequate time to form a strong campaign.

Pope Francis has reportedly told aides he “won’t survive” and is “bracing for death” as he battles pneumonia in the hospital.

Knewz.com can reveal the 88-year-old pontiff is seriously worried about his own condition after it was reported his diagnosis has been complicated by a “polymicrobial respiratory tract infection,” which signifies a blend of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

As previously reported, Pope Francis was rushed to the hospital last Friday, where he has been battling pneumonia in both lungs.

According to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, the pope’s recent tests have revealed the extent of his illness, which requires “a further change in his drug therapy.”

While hospitalized, Francis has shown signs of improvement, with Bruni claiming: “He is in stable condition.”

The Vatican is reportedly expected to give a new update on the pope’s condition later Wednesday.

However, new reports claim Francis is filled with fear that he is going to soon die and is “tying up loose ends” during his hospital stay.

According to two Politico sources, the 88-year-old has been suffering from “intense pain” and has expressed concern he won’t overcome this health battle.

One of the insiders claimed Francis is now acting entirely on “doctors’ orders” and was reportedly left “distressed” after being blocked from delivering his regular morning Angelus sermon, which he has rarely missed.

According to the report, the pope resisted going to the hospital at first but “was told in no uncertain terms that he was at risk of dying if he stayed in his room in the Vatican.”

Over the years, Francis has dealt with several health issues – including frequent respiratory infections and mobility challenges stemming from bad knees and sciatica nerve pain.

Back in 2021, the pontiff underwent significant surgery to remove 33 centimeters of his colon, followed by another procedure in 2023 to address intestinal scar tissue and an abdominal hernia.

Previously, he faced hospitalization due to pneumonia, leaving just three days after admission, having acknowledged feeling faint prior to being rushed to the hospital.

Due to his health struggles, the Vatican announced they are canceling events for the upcoming week.

It was announced earlier Tuesday that the Jubilee Audience on Saturday has been canceled while he recovers.

The churchwide community and global observers continue to express concern over the future implications of Francis’ health struggles.

The impact of his health on the Catholic Church will remain significant, prompting followers to wait for updates in the new few days.

However, Vatican officials remain tight-lipped on specific details regarding his treatment plan.

John F. Kennedy‘s quirky grandson Jack Schlossberg has returned to social media to slam Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency, Knewz.com can reveal.

After previously taking a hiatus from Instagram following a series of bizarre ramblings and a spat with Megyn Kelly, Schlossberg returned with a bang on Tuesday, February 18, to condemn the closing of the John F. Kennedy Library as part of widespread, indiscriminate DOGE cuts.

The 32-year-old shared a screenshot of a post from the JFK Library Foundation informing visitors the center was “temporarily closed until further notice.” In the second slide, he shared a photo of his late grandfather and former president.

Schlossberg didn’t hold back his feelings on how the DOGE cuts are impacting government agencies, federal workers and citizens in his caption.

He wrote: “STEALING HISTORY from the PEOPLE – our government is using PROPAGANDA TO CHANGE THE PAST.

“Today DOGE SHUT DOWN the JFK LIBRARY – welcomes thousands of students ever year to learn about US HISTORY.”

His caption continued: “The DIRECTOR OF PRES. LIBRARIES (from White House / DOGE) instructed the JFKLIBRARY to fire probationary staff effective immediately and until further notice.

“THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FIRED 1) generate REVENUE FOR THE GOVT 2) are NECESSARY to keep the institution open.

“This isn’t about me – but I have worked with the JFKL staff for decades and they are truly amazing. Thank you to them, to Rachel day Flor, to the ARCHIVISTS OF THE US never thought they’d be on the frontlines of battle but here we are !!”

The closure of the JFK Library comes after a takeover of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a national culture center in Washington D.C. that hosts the annual Kennedy Center Honors.

For decades, the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors were awarded to individuals who “made significant contributions to American culture,” including musicians, actors, writers and Broadway performers.

Recently, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the Kennedy Center’s board of directors in an effort to end what he referred to as “woke culture.”

Trump then announced plans to remove the current chairman and board of trustees and install himself at the helm of the famed institution.

His new board of trustees included spouses of his cabinet members, donors and their spouses.

Some followers alleged the recent changes to the Kennedy Center and now the closure of the JFK Library appeared to be seeking “revenge” against Schlossberg’s family by the Trump administration.

One Instagram user wrote: “I’m sorry Jack. Between this and the Kennedy Center, seems as though they are out for revenge on the Kennedy family. RFK Jr should be defending his family, not sitting back and happily watching this. It’s despicable.”

Another follower added: “This is fascism,” while a third said, “This is absolutely ridiculous. i can’t believe they would do that. What possible reason could they have for this!”

A fourth wrote: “Librarians are always on the front lines of fighting censorship. We all need to support our public libraries and librarians as well as those of bigger institutions.”

Dozens of other followers welcomed Schlossberg’s fiery return to the social platform, declaring “Pookie is back.”

Meanwhile, insiders claimed family members of the Kennedy family are distancing themselves from “embarrassing” Schlossberg and are refusing to “take blame or responsibility” for his bizarre posts, claiming he’s “more Schlossberg than Kennedy.”

The source said: “Members of the Kennedy family, although embarrassed by and for Jack, are adamant that they feel no blame or responsibility for his boorish online shenanigans… They feel Jack’s dark persona is a clear case of ‘like father, like son.'”

Pope Francis has been hospitalized as he battles a severe respiratory infection.

Knewz.com can report that the 88-year-old pontiff‘s condition is complicated by a “polymicrobial respiratory tract infection,” which signifies a blend of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, raising alarm bells among medical professionals and followers alike.

According to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, the pope’s recent tests have revealed the extent of his illness, which requires “a further change in his drug therapy.”

This announcement comes after Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli hospital in a “fair” condition on Friday, following a severe bout of bronchitis that had worsened over the past week.

The current hospitalization highlights the pontiff’s ongoing health struggles, as this incident marks a longer duration than his prior hospital visit in 2023 for pneumonia.

Bruni remarked that the “complexity of his symptoms will require an appropriate hospital stay.”

The pope, who lost part of one lung due to a pulmonary infection in his youth, continues to demonstrate resilience amid his frail health.

While hospitalized, Francis has shown signs of improvement, with Bruni claiming: “He is in stable condition.”

Despite his challenges, the pope managed to have breakfast and keep up with current events by reading newspapers on Monday morning.

In a testament to his commitment to duty, Francis has maintained contact with the Catholic Church in Gaza throughout his hospitalization.

The parish priest, Rev. Gabriel Romanelli, shared insights into a recent video call and stated: “We heard his voice. It’s true, it was more tired. But we heard his voice clearly, and he listened to us.”

This highlights the pope’s unwavering dedication to his responsibilities even when faced with severe health issues.

As concerns mount regarding the pope’s welfare, medical experts emphasize the unique challenges faced by elderly patients like him. Factors such as declining lung function and muscle strength often complicate recovery from infections, surging susceptibility to complications such as pneumonia.

History has shown that Francis has grappled with several health issues over the years, which include frequent respiratory infections and mobility challenges stemming from bad knees and sciatica nerve pain.

In 2021, the pontiff underwent significant surgery to remove 33 centimeters of his colon, followed by another procedure in 2023 to address intestinal scar tissue and an abdominal hernia.

Previously, he faced hospitalization due to pneumonia, leaving just three days after admission, having acknowledged feeling faint prior to being rushed to the hospital.

The implications of his health struggles are far-reaching, especially considering the connection to upcoming Vatican events.

The papal calendar has already seen the cancellation of numerous appointments due to his condition.

It was announced that he would miss an important gathering at Rome’s Cinecitta film studios on Monday, where he was scheduled to meet with artists as part of the Catholic Church’s Holy Year celebrations.

The churchwide community and global observers continue to express concern over the future implications of Francis’s health struggles.

The impact of his health on the Catholic Church will remain significant, prompting followers to hold their breath for developments in the coming days.

With Vatican officials remaining tight-lipped on specific details regarding his treatment plan, all eyes will remain focused on the pope and the outcome of his medical care as he battles these unprecedented challenges.

Meghan Markle is still doing all she can to make one of her ventures stick, this time rebranding her failing company American Riviera Orchard.

The Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle company has now become As Ever, in a new Instagram video that fans think is Markle calling out the royal family, Knewz.com can reveal.

In the social media clip, Markle is in her garden as her husband Prince Harry makes a cameo and tells her, “It’s recording,” before handing off the phone to the mom-of-two.

She says: “Last year, I had thought, ‘American Riviera,’ that sounds like such a great name. It’s my neighborhood; it’s a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area.”

Markle also touches on how she had not been able to share her passion for food and home for “years” after she shut down her blog The Tig – words many believe is the 43-year-old calling out the royal family.

Markle continued; “As Ever essentially means as it’s always been, and if you’ve followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I’ve always loved cooking and crafting and gardening – this is what I do.

“And I haven’t been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can, so as things are starting to trickle out there, I wanted you to hear it from me first.”

“I can’t wait for you to get your hands on everything we’ve been creating,” Markle added in the caption, just two weeks before the debut of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

Markle’s rebranding also came with a brand new logo for As Ever, featuring what appears to be a tree in between two birds. However, some have claimed the logo looks just like the Coat of Arms of Porreres in Majorca.

Nick Ede, a brand and culture expert, agreed in comments made to The Sun: “Yes the logo that she has used for the new brand As Ever is clearly very similar to the coat of arms for an area of Majorca.

“This is another brand set back as it looks like its been copied rather than a whole new brand identity created.”

Ede added: “This may potentially create copyright issues and a further headache for Meghan and her team.”

Markle’s lifestyle company has come with plenty of drama. In December 2024, Markle named herself her company’s Chief Executive Officer after a long search to find a suitable person came up empty.

All this comes as the royal was previously branded “Duchess Difficult,” a “boss from hell” and even a “dictator in high heels,” allegedly by some of her staffers.

Last year, the company’s chief of staff Josh Kettler made his exit as an insider at the time claimed: “… Are Meghan and Harry terrible at choosing employees, or is it a terrible work environment?”

Another source said of the former Suits star‘s alleged treatment of employees: “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan. She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice. They’re both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently.”

“Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he’s very much an enabler. And she’s just terrible,” they added.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have been hit with chilling death threats after a woman claimed he rape her alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs when she was 13 years old, Knewz.com can reveal.

Despite the anonymous accuser, known as Jane Doe in her filing, dropping her lawsuit, Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – said he continues to face backlash over her “malicious and fictitious” claim, which he has vehemently denied.

The Empire State of Mind rapper, 55, has been under intense scrutiny since the now-dropped lawsuit was filed, with critics hammering him and the Texas Hold Em singer, 43, over their association with Combs, 55, who is currently behind bars on sex trafficking charges.

In a recent legal declaration, Jay-Z addressed backlash he’s received since the woman alleged he and Combs raped her following the 2000 MTV Music Awards.

He said his reputation has been tarnished and he and his family have been “threatened with violence” over the lawsuit, including people online saying they want to “‘kill’ or ‘execute’ us.”

Some online critics have called for Jay-Z to be locked up like Combs “in prison. Then later in hell.”

Among the onslaught of attacks Jay-Z cited in the legal declaration included social media users branding him a “satanist,” a “trafficker,” a “terrorist” and a “monster.”

Jay-Z further claimed he’s been called the “n-word” by some crazed trolls.

On Friday, February 14, Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, quietly dropped the civil lawsuit against the music star and Combs. But legal drama between the rapper and Texas attorney is far from over.

Jay-Z sued Buzbee for civil distortion, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress several months ago.

In a recent legal declaration, filed on February 10 in Los Angeles, the rapper alleged the attorney strategically filed Doe’s lawsuit as he was set to attend the premier of daughter Blue Ivy’s new movie, Mufasa: The Lion King.

He claimed Buzbee intentionally filed the lawsuit a day before the premiere “to put me in the position of having to choose between supporting my daughter or hiding to avoid the negative press.”

In Jay-Z’s defamation suit, he claimed Buzbee cost him $20million in business deals and endorsements.

He wrote in his declaration: “I felt that Mr. Buzbee was placing a gun to my head — that I either bow to his demands or endure personal financial ruin.”

Jay-Z further claimed the since-dropped lawsuit has caused him “mental anguish” and forced him into hiding because of Doe’s claims.

The performer previously attempted to Doe’s identity revealed, however, a judge rejected his request in December.

While Doe’s lawsuit was among the most sensational to be filed from Buzbee, the Texas attorney has brought several lawsuits against Combs.

Since being arrested in September, Combs faces an additional 40 lawsuits, many of which were filed by Buzbee on behalf of the music mogul’s alleged victims, some of which claimed they were assaulted as minors.
