Piers Morgan Apologizes to Jay-Z and Beyonce for Jaguar Wright’s Statements Made on His Show

TRANSCRIPT:

MORGAN: "The thing about platforms, relative to the modern world, is that pretty much everyone has a platform, as long as there’s something to say that others would want to hear. That’s why we invited her on to be interviewed. But people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine. When 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 they have no basis in fact, and we therefore comply with the legal request to cut them from the original interview. 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. We apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé."
