The lawsuit detailed that Manzaro was paraded at another party while forced to wear a mask. He described the event as a freak-off where he was subjected to degrading and non-consensual acts. Lawyers for Jay-Z and Beyonce provided proof that the couple was not at the party. The evidence collected was a 2015 article from the NYU newspaper indicating that Jay-Z was attending a different event at the university. Additionally, photos published by The Daily Mail showed the couple vacationing in Hawaii shortly after the alleged incident. The new lawsuit however has LeBron James’ name.
