New insight reveals Beyoncé & Jay-Z's three kids' 'tough' reality amid dad's lawsuit
The "Holy Grail" rapper was accused in a now-dropped lawsuit of sexual assault alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs
The case surrounding Jay-Z's involvement in a lawsuit accusing him and rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, who remains in a New York City jail, of sexual assault of a Jane Doe.
The bombshell allegations were originally levied back in December, coming to light the day of the Los Angeles premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King, starring Beyoncé and their daughter Blue Ivy.
The civil lawsuit has since been dismissed. However, the "99 Problems" rapper's legal team is firing back by filing a countersuit for defamation against the accuser.

His attorney Alex Spiro, who has made a name for himself representing clients like Elon Musk, MrBeast and Alec Baldwin, spoke with Good Morning America about a new set of unreleased audio footage from the Jane Doe, implying that her own lawyer had allegedly pushed her to include Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, in her lawsuit.
He was asked about the "painful impact that [the allegations] had especially" on the music mogul's three children with Beyoncé, Blue and twins Rumi and Sir Carter.
"It's tough to hear a false lie said about you, spread through the internet and affecting your children," Alex responded. "It's tough on him, it's tough on anybody. But what he does is he proves himself innocent. Today is hopefully the final chapter in that. And then they're going to move forward. That's what Jay does."
Jay-Z'as lawyer touched upon the impact of the lawsuit on his family
The attorney also further doubled down on the tape of Jane Doe as well as the words of her lawyer Tony Buzbee, who denied the claims that he had pushed his client to sue the rapper, calling it a "blatant lie" in a statement to ABC News.
"She says in no uncertain terms Mr. Carter did not do this," Alex mentioned on GMA. "It's effectively a lie and the only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this because she was pushed to involve him."
The allegations first came to light the day of the "Mufasa" premiere
When the lawsuit was dismissed back in February, Jay-Z put out a statement through his label Roc Nation, also touching upon the impact of the allegations on his family, prior to filing his countersuit for alleged defamation.
"Today is a victory," it read. "The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed. This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere."
The rapper has since filed a suit against his accuser for defamation
"The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed," it claimed.
"This 1-800 lawyer gets to file a suit hiding behind Jane Doe, and when they quickly realize that the money grab is going to fail, they get to walk away with no repercussions. The system has failed."
"The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed."
"The court must protect victims, OF COURSE, while with the same ethical responsibility, 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," it concluded.
