Piers Morgan edits out Jaguar Wright’s claims about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s ties to Diddy
LA TimesPiers Morgan publicly apologized to Beyoncé and Jay-Z after complying with their lawyers’ request to remove a guest’s allegations about the couple from his “Uncensored” show. While discussing the Bad Boy Records founder’s alleged decades of misconduct, Wright “unexpectedly made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé,” Morgan said at the top of his Tuesday show. “As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have,” the 69-year-old former CNN host said, adding that his production had complied with the Carters’ lawyers’ request to remove Wright’s claims, which they called “totally false.” “Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called ‘Uncensored,’ but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us too,” Morgan said. “And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.” Wright, who previously worked for Jay-Z as a backing singer, has for years speculated about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged criminal behavior.
