JAY-Z and Beyoncé have received an apology from Piers Morgan after he gave airtime to unsubstantiated allegations about the power couple.
On his show Piers Morgan Uncensored, which airs on YouTube, the controversial broadcaster hosted the singer Jaguar Wright, who made a number of wild claims about Jay and Bey during the interview.
Wright claimed that Carters are a “nasty couple” who do “nasty things,” such as “keeping people against their will, putting people on planes while they’re unconscious, just like Aaliyah got on that plane, unconscious.”
She added that “Diddy and JAY-Z are monsters,” and compared the rap moguls to deceased convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Wright offered no evidence to back up her claims.

Morgan has now made the rare move of apologizing to JAY-Z and Beyoncé on his show after the couple’s lawyers got in touch regarding Wright’s remarks, which they claim are “totally false.”
“Last week, I interviewed Jaguar Wright, a singer-songwriter who’s made claims about Diddy for years,” Morgan began. “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.”
He continued: “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.”
Morgan concluded his apology by saying: “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.”
Wright has yet to respond to Morgan removing her comments from their interview.
yeah well they think their shit don’t stink beyonce doesn’t put the work in with her music weird perverts with a skin fetish bottling whiskey the other week god help us we could be becoming alcoholics……………………………….
My question, and has always been, why the carter’s don’t sue jaguar for her claims? What she said on his show isn’t anything new and she’s been saying that for years on her media platform. It’s also suspect she has so-ed evidence and does nothing with it.
@Hmmm If they were willing to sue Piers, then it doesn’t matter if they won’t sue Jaguar. In either case if they had anything to hide it would have come out in discovery.. So in all likelihood they just didn’t view a crazy person like Jaguar as a threat worthy of their time until she got onto a bigger platform like Piers’.
Jaguar ain’t got no money. That’s why she does those interviews in the first place. People might as well start suing Orlando Brown, Charleston White, or Fleece Johnson(Who is on youtube talking about he’d have sex with Jay-Z)
Jaguar Wright isn’t Wrong for that.
