Piers Morgan has issued an on-air apology to Jay-Z and Beyoncé for broadcasting false allegations against the couple on his show Piers Morgan Uncensored. The apology was related to appearance by singer Jaguar Wright, who claimed on the show last week that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were similar to Sean “Diddy” Combs, saying they have “hundreds of victims with stories about what they’ve experienced.” “Last week, I interviewed Jaguar Wright, a singer-songwriter who’s made claims about Diddy for years,” Morgan said in his apology. “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.
