JAY-Z And Beyonce’s Lawyer Claims They Gave Piers Morgan An Ultimatum

by

JAY-Z and Beyonce’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has confirmed that he sent a letter to Piers Morgan demanding he take down his interview with Jaguar Wright. He explained the decision during an interview with TMZ published on Wednesday. During the viral interview, Wright made several unfounded allegations about the couple, which Spiro has described as “demonstrably false.”

“There’s rumors and then there’s nonsense and this is one step further,” he told the outlet. “This is a pointed and formal accusation of something. I felt it needed to be responded to. I think somebody reported it was a cease-and-desist. It wasn’t that. It was quite bluntly an ultimatum, which is to remove that false accusation that’s demonstrably false or a court’s gonna order you to. So, I think he made the wise choice and acted accordingly.”

Morgan initially revealed JAY-Z and Beyonce sent him a legal notice during Tuesday night’s episode of his Uncensored show. “Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about JAY-Z and Beyoncé during that interview,” he began. “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, and we’ve therefore complied with a 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. And we apologize to JAY-Z and Beyoncé.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Attorney “Exploring Legal Options” Against Bloggers

by

It has been stated that we could receive a verdict in the Tory Lanez trial regarding the Megan Thee Stallion shooting as early as this afternoon. As the jury deliberates, a new report by NBC News has begun to circulate as they examine the public’s obsession with this case. Further, the outlet picked apart how blogs and blogging culture impacted how the public perceived Megan’s guilt, innocence, or culpability, even though she was the victim.

Alex Spiro, Megan’s attorney, spoke with NBC News and suggested that legal action could be taken against outlets that purposefully shared misinformation about the case.

Spiro said his team is “exploring all legal options” against “bloggers who have posted misinformation.” NBC noted blogger Milagro Gramz covered the case. She reported that the LAPD confirmed the rapper was injured from stepping on glass.

However, during the trial, the doctor who performed Megan’s surgery said she still had bullet fragments in her feet. It was also added that DJ Akademiks reshared Gramz’s report.

“On my end, everything is not going to be something that was intended to be a factual statement,” said Gramz. “It might have a comedic effect.” She also stated that she wasn’t trying to “tear anyone down” and had prayed for Megan.

Further, Megan’s legal team has proactively flagged social media content as abusive—including Gramz. Her account was locked, or restricted, for 11 hours due to repeatedly violating Twitter’s rules.

Additionally, No Jumper‘s Adam22 was also contacted for the story. He said, “In no way are we trying to push any agenda in favor of meg or tory.” Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee also defended his platform, insisting they have been “unbiased” in their reports on Megan and Lanez.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Attorney Believes Kelsey Harris Was “Compromised”

by

For years, people believed Tory Lanez’s trial would reveal what happened that fateful night with Megan Thee Stallion and Kelsey Harris. However, just days into the trial, the public is left with more questions than they are answers. Megan was shot in the foot in July 2020 after leaving a Hollywood Hills party at Kylie Jenner’s house. The Houston rapper insisted that Lanez was the person responsible, but he denies the allegations. Still, he faces three felony charges related to the event.

It was believed that Harris would be the missing link to give more perspective into what occurred. However, when she took the stand yesterday (December 14), she seemingly muddled the story further. Harris backtracked on comments she told to prosecutors during an interview in September. It was then that she said she saw Lanez with the gun and revealed he allegedly threatened to shoot her, as well.

Yet, on the stand, Harris said she lied to prosecutors. Megan’s former best friend pleaded the fifth and said she didn’t remember or didn’t recall key moments of the incident. Recordings for her interview with the prosecution were played in court, but Harris was unmoved.

She was also questioned about Lanez allegedly offering to pay for her lawyer. The prosecution wanted to know if he actually did, but Harris answered she didn’t remember. However, she did confirm that Lanez offered to give her $1 million, but she added he didn’t say what the money was for, suggesting it didn’t have anything to do with the shooting.

As Harris is slated to return to the stand today, the public has been unrelenting. She has been accused of taking a bribe from Lanez, but that hasn’t been confirmed.

Alex Spiro, Megan’s lawyer, spoke exclusively with The Shade Room about Harris changing her testimony in court.

“It just shows she was compromised. Whether a threat or bribe, but we’re looking into it,” said Spiro. “Offered money and then changes testimony; we’ll let your readers decide.”

Meanwhile, the prosecution reportedly granted Harris immunity. Lanez’s defense is that Harris was the person who shot Megan. Gunpowder residue was reportedly found on her and Lanez.
