English broadcaster Piers Morgan apologized to Jay-Z and Beyoncé regarding the claims made by Jaguar Wright as a guest on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Morgan’s apology complied with the request made by the couple’s legal team, which informed the broadcaster that his guest’s claims were “totally false” and had “no basis in fact.”
Jaguar Wright, a former collaborator of Jay-Z, appeared on the program on October 2 and labeled the mogul a “monster.” She accused Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé of being similar to Diddy, claiming they had “hundreds of victims with stories about what they’ve experienced.” Morgan did not challenge Wright’s unverified claims, which prompted the Carters’ legal team to respond.
On October 8, Morgan publicly acknowledged his lack of intervention during the Wright interview and apologized. He shared the following statement with his audience:
“Well, last week, I interviewed Jaguar Wright, a singer-songwriter who’s made claims about Diddy for years. Those claims will receive a lot of attention in the media across many platforms for many years. 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 on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.
“Well, Jaguar Wright unexpectedly made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said, in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves. But now they have.
“Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were totally false and have no basis in fact. And we’ve therefore complied with the legal request to cut them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called ‘Uncensored.’ But, like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
For years, Jaguar Wright has been giving interviews about celebrities and their allegations. The Carters have not responded to Morgan’s apology, and Wright has not commented on it.
