Carter issued a press release virtually instantly after the accuser named him within the go well with. He referred to the claims as a “blackmail try,” whereas a separate assertion from his leisure firm, Roc Nation, referred to Buzbee as an “1-800 lawyer” who’s “within the pursuit of cash and fame.”
