Music stars Jay-Z and Beyoncé have received an apology from Piers Morgan after he allowed unsubstantiated allegations about the power couple to be aired on his show.
On its show Piers Morgan Uncensored, the network hosted singer Jaguar Wright, who made several wild claims about Jay and Bey during the interview.
Wright claimed that the Carters are a “nasty couple” who do “nasty things” like “keeping people against their will, making them follow plans while they’re unconscious, just like Aaliyah got on that plane, unconscious.”
She added that “Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters” and compared the rap moguls to Jeffrey Epstein. Wright provided no evidence to support his claims.
Morgan has now taken the rare step of apologizing to Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé on their show after the couple’s lawyers made contact over Wright’s remarks, which they claim are ‘totally false’ .
Piers Morgan’s words
“Last week I interviewed Jaguar Wright, a singer-songwriter who has been making statements about Diddy for years.
These claims will receive a lot of media attention on many platforms for many years.
And that’s the problem with platforms. The reality of the modern world is that almost everyone has a platform as long as they have something to say that others want to hear.
That’s why we invited her for an interview. The people who make these claims have audiences with or without shows like mine.
Jaguar Wright unexpectedly made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during this interview. As I said, at the moment they were not present to respond or defend themselves.
But now it does. Their lawyers contacted us to tell us that these claims were completely false and had no basis in fact.
And so we granted the legal request to remove them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called Uncensored.
But, like the proverbial fire cries in a crowded theater, we also have legal limits. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé”.
