Piers Morgan has apologized after posting “completely false” claims about Jay-Z and Beyoncé on his YouTube channel.
Morgan interviewed Jaguar Wright about the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs Unsupervised Show last week. During the exchange, the singer called Diddy and Jay-Z “monsters” and claimed that Jay-Z and Beyoncé have hundreds of victims.
during Unsupervised On Tuesday’s episode, Morgan opened the show by revealing that he received a legal letter from the couple refuting the allegations. The former CNN anchor apologized and said Wright’s interview was edited to remove her allegations.
“Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview,” Morgan said. “As I said at that moment, they were not there to respond or defend themselves, but they are now. Their lawyers contacted us to tell us that these allegations are ‘false.’ “Completely” has no basis in fact, so we have complied with a legal request to remove it from the original interview.
“Editing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called Unsupervised But like the proverbial fire screams in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us too. We apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
He added: “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. That’s why we invited [Wright] On for an interview. People who make these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.
