Piers Morgan is explaining his out-of-character move to censor a guest’s comments on his “Uncensored” YouTube show. Last week, the British broadcaster interviewed singer-songwriter Jaguar Wright — whom he dubbed a Diddy “whistleblower” — on his 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 [responded],” 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. In late 2022, she made headlines after positing in an interview with RealLyfe Productions that the fallen music executive was behind the deaths of former Uptown Records figures. “I think he’s one of the most dangerous people I’ve ever met,” she told Morgan last week, adding that Combs has long been “protected” by other.
