00:08Pierce Morgan is apologizing to Jay-Z and Beyonce after an interview he conducted detailed false allegations about the couple.
00:16Morgan invited Jaguar Wright, a singer, on his show Uncensored, where she spoke about Sean Diddy Combs' recent arrest.
00:22During the interview, she claimed,
00:24For 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 and that Wright's claims were totally false and have no basis in fact.
00:42That'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.
00:49Morgan told his audience,
00:51That's why we invited Wright on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.
00:57Well, Jaguar Wright unexpectedly made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyonce during that interview.
01:04As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have.
01:10He continued,
01:10We had lawyers contact 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.
01:20Morgan concluded his message with a direct apology.
01:22Editing 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.
01:33And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyonce.
