Piers Morgan apologizes to Jay-Z and Beyoncé for allegations made on chat show | Music

Piers Morgan has apologized to Beyoncé and Jay-Z after allegations were made against them on his YouTube-hosted show Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Singer-songwriter Jaguar Wright joined Morgan last week to discuss the numerous sexual assault allegations against rapper and mogul Sean Combs. During the interview, she called Jay-Z, for whom she once worked as a backup singer, a “monster” and him and Beyoncé an “evil little couple.” She claimed that Jay-Z had ties to Combs and others and made serious criminal charges against Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

Morgan has now apologized and said:

Their lawyers contacted us and informed us that these claims were completely false and had no basis in fact. And that's why we complied with the legal request to edit it out of the original interview. Editing interviews is no easy task on a show called Uncensored. But like the proverbial screams of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits for us too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

Morgan also gave his reasons for inviting Wright to the show:

(Wright has) made claims about (Combs) for years. These claims will receive significant media attention on many platforms for many years to come. And that's the thing about platforms. The reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform, as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear. That's why we invited her for an interview. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.

Wright did not comment on the changes to her interview.

Sean Combs has been accused by numerous men and women of sexually abusing them, dating back to the early 1990s. After nine lawsuits were filed against him since November 2023, Combs was arrested in September on three counts of sex trafficking and racketeering, with federal prosecutors alleging “a criminal enterprise whose members and associates, among other things, committed and attempted to engage in sex trafficking.” participate.” human trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

He was denied bail. Since his arrest, Texas attorney Tony Buzbee announced that he is representing 120 other alleged victims of Combs.

The case has tarnished the reputation of one of the most successful entertainers in the United States, who, in addition to numerous solo and collective hits as a rapper and producer, also managed companies such as Bad Boy Records (whose artists included Notorious BIG), Sean John Clothing and Cîroc vodka.

The investigation into his high-profile, celebrity-filled lifestyle has led to a rampant conspiracy theory online, with numerous allegations and rumors surfacing against celebrities regarding their alleged involvement or victimization in his alleged schemes.
