Piers Morgan apologizes for false accusations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé

Piers Morgan has apologized to Jay-Z and Beyoncé for spreading false allegations against the couple on his show Piers Morgan Uncensored.

The apology came in the context of singer Jaguar Wright's appearance on the show last week, who claimed that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were similar to Sean “Diddy” Combs and said they had “hundreds of victims with stories of what they experienced.” have”.

“Last week I interviewed Jaguar Wright, a singer-songwriter who has been making allegations about Diddy for years,” Morgan said in his apology. “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.”

He continued: “Jaguar Wright unexpectedly made several serious allegations against Jay-Z and Beyoncé during this interview. As I said, at the moment they were not present to respond or defend themselves. But now they have it. 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 isn't something we do 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.”

During her interview, Wright took aim at both Diddy and Jay-Z, calling Jay-Z and Beyoncé a “bad couple” who do “bad things.” She claimed those things included “holding people against their will, putting people on planes while they're unconscious, just like Aaliyah got on that plane unconscious. “There's a lot people don't want to talk about, Pierce.”

Wright told Morgan, “For four years, not only have I been screaming Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters.” She added that Jay-Z “starts little fires everywhere and forces everyone involved to get water while he sneaks away without responding,” before comparing him to Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
