00:05during their interview.
00:08Piers Morgan is apologizing to Jay-Z and Beyonce after an interview he conducted detailed false
00:14allegations about the couple.
00:16Morgan invited Jaguar Wright, a singer on his show Uncensored, where she spoke about
00:20Sean Diddy Combs' recent arrest.
00:22During the interview, she claimed,
00:24"'For four years I've been screaming not just Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters."
00:29Elsewhere, she claimed that Jay-Z and Beyonce both have hundreds of victims.
00:33On Tuesday, Morgan revealed on his show that Jay-Z and Beyonce's lawyers contacted him
00:38and that Wright's claims were totally false and have no basis in fact.
00:42That's the thing about platforms.
00:43The reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform, as long as they
00:47have something to say that other people want to hear.
00:49Morgan told his audience,
00:50"'That's why we invited Wright on to be interviewed.
00:53The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.'"
00:57Jaguar Wright unexpectedly made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyonce during
01:03that interview.
01:04As I've said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but
01:09now they have.
01:10He continued,
01:11"'We had lawyers contact us to say that those claims were totally false and have no basis
01:15in fact, and we've therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original
01:19interview.'"
01:20Morgan concluded his message with a direct apology.
01:23Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored, but like
01:28the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us too.
01:33And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyonce.
