A few days, ago Jaguar Wright gave right-wing conspiracy theorists a lot to work with on social media. The controversial crooner appeared on conservative media darling Piers Morganâs Uncensored show and unloaded on the likes of P. Diddy, Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©, accusing them all of being in the same league of sadistic abusers in the music industry.
With many on social media having already accused Jay-Z of such acts following the arrest of P. Diddy, they viewed Wrightâs comments as validation of their beliefs and immediately took to X (formerly Twitter) to boast about the segment and further call for the downfall of Hova and company. While Wright has been suggesting that Jay-Z is âworseâ than Diddy for quite some time now, giving her such a platform to continue to spew her slander caught the attention of Jay-Zâs legal team who promptly informed Piers Morgan that he done f*cked up now.
On Tuesday (Oct. 8), Morgan took to his show and issued a public apology for Jaguar Wrightâs comments on his broadcast and let everyone know that lawyers for Jay-Z told him to do so. Taking to his show, Morgan explained that regardless to whom or what, people like Jaguar Wright have built a following âwith or without shows like mineâ and acknowledged that she made some âserious allegations about Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©.â
Thatâs when Morgan stated that Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©âs lawyers âcontacted us to say those claims were totally false and have no basis in fact, and we therefore comply with the legal request to cut them from the original interview.â
Though Morgan said cutting segments out of his show is not something they practice, he did recognize that âThere are legal limits on us too and we apologize to Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©.â
Yeah, Jay-Z-hating conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one. Morgan himself set it up in a way where he seemed reluctant to comply with the legal request but had no choice, so yâall already know how this is going to play out on social media.

BeyoncĂ© and Jay-Z have received a public apology from Piers Morgan after the polarizing talk-show host aired inflammatory allegations about them on his program. About a week after interviewing Jaguar Wright on Piers Morgan Uncensored â during which the singer-songwriter called the Roc Nation founder and Sean âDiddyâ Combs âmonsters,â and claimed that the famous […]

As Rasheed Wallace reportedly said, even the sun shines on a dogâs ass twice a day and Candace Owens is a perfect example of that phrase. Candace Owens was a recent guest on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show and in their discussion, the conservative pundit checked the host on the nature of the Israel-Hamas and the mediaâs reluctance to refer to the happenings as genocide.
Candace Owens, 35, sat down with Piers Morgan, 59, and the tense discussion surrounding the Isreal-Hamas war turned towards Owens making note of the fact that journalists are seemingly fearful of critiquing Israelâs actions. At one point, Owens included Morgan in that group.
âYou too, Piers, seem a little fearful to critique Isreal and coming off as trying to be a little understanding of everything,â Owens said. Morgan, perhaps anticipating this, dodged the assertion. For her part, Owens clearly articulated what the word genocide means and did manage to get Morgan to throw a very soft jab at Israelâs PM, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The 90-minute conversation between Morgan and Owens touched on her leaving The Daily Wire, her political positions, her connection with Ye FKA Kanye West, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and much more.
Check out the clip in question below and keep scrolling to see reactions to the Israel-Hamas segment. Also, letâs be clear, weâre not on her side about much of anything. On this point, however, she called it straight and thatâs all weâre noting.

A former bodyguard for Diddy is speaking out once more, claiming that he saw the mogul assault his exes repeatedly.
As reactions to Diddyâs purported apology video over beating former girlfriend Cassie Ventura continue to pour in, his former bodyguard Roger Bonds is now speaking out again about what he alleges were acts of abuse inflicted on Ventura and the late Kim Porter. Bonds appeared on the latest episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday (May 20) to talk about what he witnessed.
âIt didnât surprise me when I saw it because Iâve seen things of this nature before,â Bonds said about three minutes into the interview. âIâve gotten in between things of this nature before. This was back in 2012.â

âHeâs up to the same games,â Bonds continued. âHe never mentioned Cassieâs name in that apology, so to me he didnât Ahumble himself enough. I think he said what people wanted to hear, not what he felt.â When Morgan asked him how many times had he witnessed Diddy aka Sean Combs act in that manner towards women, Bonds answered, âAround four or five times. Iâve seen him get really physical, grab them up,â Bonds added. âI seen him get into wrestling and punching matches. Sometimes, I felt like what are you upset about? Itâs a deeper anger when you are hitting and punching a woman in that type of manner.â
Bonds would remark on Diddyâs personality in the interview. âHeâs a king manipulator,â he stated. âHe can manipulate anything and anyone. Money and power is what heâs all about. he has a god syndrome.â Bonds would also talk about Kim Porter fighting back against the Bad Boy Records founderâs attacks, and how he wanted Bonds to ignore his actions. âThere was this dark side of him that he was trying to hide and that he wanted me to say didnât exist. And I canât say that it didnât exist if it did exist,â Bonds said.
Diddy has been under intense scrutiny as there are now two lawsuits filed against him for sexual assault, in addition to dealing with a federal raid on his homes in Miami and Los Angeles. But Bonds feels like this is just the beginning. âI feel like thereâs going to be other people that come forward,â he said.
Bonds was named in the lawsuit that Cassie filed against Diddy, which was settled a day later, in late 2023.

It appears Piers Morganâs social media was hacked on Monday (Dec. 26) to take aim at Ed Sheeran, Queen Elizabeth II and more.
In a series of since-deleted tweets, the hackers referred to the âShiversâ crooner as a âginger fâerâ and blasted the late monarch by tweeting, âfâk the queenâ while changing Morganâs profile pic to a photo of himself laughing with Her Royal Majesty. Another public figure who came under attack was British-American boxer Andrew Tate after the hacked account erroneously claimed he had been killed in Dubai.
âIn case you were wondering, @piersmorgan has been hacked,â the official account for Morganâs talk show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, tweeted the following day. âAny chance of getting him back, @elonmusk?â
As of press time, Morganâs account had been wiped clean of most of the abusive tweets besides a Bitcoin app scam and a blurry photo of an unnamed young man captioned with more abusive language.
For his part, Sheeran was likely nonplussed by the controversy, particularly considering he doesnât use Twitter and leaves the app in the hands of his official team as âEd Sheeran HQ.â
Instead, the singer had plenty to celebrate as of late. Earlier this month, Billboard reported that Sheeran sold more tickets than any other music act in 2022 thanks to the massive success of his ongoing Mathematics Tour. (Over 60 dates across Europe, he moved a grand total of three million tickets.) The trek will head stateside with its giant, rotating stage on May 6 starting at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex.
Check out Morganâs plea to get his Twitter account back below.
