Piers Morgan apologizes for Jaguar Wright’s claims about Jay-Z and Beyoncé

Piers Morgan issued an on-air apology to Jay-Z and Beyoncé this week regarding an interview with Jaguar Wright, who made allegations on Morgan’s show against the superstar power couple that turned out to be false.

Wright, a singer, recently appeared on Morgan’s show UnsupervisedWhere she spoke about the recent arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. “For four years I was screaming not just Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters,” Wright said during her interview. Elsewhere, she claimed that Jay Z and Beyoncé had hundreds of victims.

On Tuesday, Morgan revealed on his show that lawyers for Jay-Z and Beyonce had contacted him, and that Wright’s allegations were “completely false and have no basis in truth.”

“The thing about platforms, and 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,” Morgan told his audience. “That’s why we invited us [Wright] On for an interview. People who make these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.

He continued: “Well, unexpectedly, Jaguar made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said at that moment, they were not there to respond or defend themselves, but they are present now. Lawyers contacted us to say that these allegations were completely false and had no basis in fact, so we complied with a legal request to remove them from the original interview.

Morgan concluded his letter with a direct apology. “Editing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called Unsupervised“But like the proverbial fire screams in a crowded theater,” he said, “there are legal limits on us as well.” We apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
