Jay Z Affair Report False: Socialite Sends Legal Letter Demanding Apology to Beyonce
Casey Cohen, the woman linked to hip-hop mogul Jay Z through gossip magazines, has threatened legal action over false claims.
The "Princesses: Long Island" star was recently described as being Jay Z's "mistress" by a U.S. tabloid, however, the report is false and she the 28-year-old is said to be furious. Cohen's legal rep reportedly sent out a cease and desist letter to Bauer Media, which published In Touch magazine among others, and demanded that all false reports be taken down in addition to an apology, according to TMZ.com.
"[Cohen and Jay Z] have never been in love or intimate," the letter states. It also dismisses the cheating report as "a foul and phony mistress-rumor."

The socialite reportedly acknowledged once meeting the hip-hop mogul, 44, and his famous wife Beyonce, 32, through her job as a VIP nightclub hostess in New York City. However she maintains that there was never an affair, as is suggested in the tabloid report.
Beyonce and Jay Z have been subject to ongoing rumors surrounding their marriage in recent weeks, following an assault scandal which occurred in early May. The singer's sister Solange infamously attacked her rapper brother-in-law in an elevator while leaving a Met Gala after party and while the footage raised concerns, the trio urged the public to move on from the incident.
Recent photos showing Beyonce's faded ring tattoo surfaced online which did little to dispel strained marriage rumors. The "Drunk In Love" singer married Jay Z on April 4, 2008 and the couple have matching tattoos on their ring fingers of Roman numerals "IV" for the number 4 to signify their union.
"To the public, Beyonce and Jay Z appear to have it all. But behind close doors, they're not as happy as people think they are," a source told RadarOnline.com.
"Jay's been telling his friends that Beyonce is getting her ring tattoo removed, the one they got when they were married," the insider continued. "He just sorta shrugs it off though saying 'Nothing is forever.'"
Another tabloid claims the couple, who share a 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, are indeed experiencing marital woes.
"It's been really rocky for them. There is trouble in paradise," a source previously told Life & Style magazine.
"Beyonce is extremely careful about her image, and everything she does is thought out and planned. She is obsessed with them appearing as the perfect family," the insider added.
