Piers Morgan is walking back claims made on his show \u2014 and apologizing.\n
During the introduction of an episode of his YouTube channel Uncensored on Tuesday, Oct. 8, the talk show host, 59, revealed he had received a legal letter from JAY-Z and Beyonc\u00e9 after a guest on his show made allegations about the rapper and his superstar wife.\n
Last week, Morgan interviewed singer-songwriter Jaguar Wright about the arrest and federal indictment of music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, which included her branding both Diddy and JAY-Z “monsters.” Per The Hollywood Reporter, Wright also alleged that JAY-Z and Beyonc\u00e9 had “hundreds of victims,” though the catalyst for her statement was not clear.\n

\u201cJaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about JAY-Z and Beyonc\u00e9 during that interview,\u201d Morgan said during his introduction Tuesday. \u201cAs I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have.\u201d\n
He added, \u201cTheir lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were \u2018totally false\u2019 and have no basis in fact, and we\u2019ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview.\u201d\n
\n
\u201cEditing 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,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd we apologize to JAY-Z and Beyonc\u00e9.\u201d\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cThat\u2019s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
