Beyonce and Jay-Z Are ‘Going To Keep Quiet’ Following Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Arrest
As more accusers come forward with allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, people once in the music mogul’s circle are starting to sweat. Two of the biggest names that sources say are feeling the heat: entertainment power couple Jay-Z, Diddy’s former business partner, and wife Beyoncé.
“They’ve remained conspicuously silent following news of Diddy’s indictment,” an insider exclusively tells In Touch. “There’s already talk about what they knew and if it got out it could prove embarrassing.”
Indeed, online speculation has been rampant about Jay-Z, 54, and Beyoncé, 43, with commenters surmising that the truth will come out. For their part, the In Touch insider says the couple, worth a combined $3 billion, will continue to lie low.
“Few, if anyone, have rushed to Diddy’s defense,” adds the source. “The last thing Bey and Jay want is to implicate themselves, so they’re going to keep quiet.”
The power couple has been using their lawyer, Alex Spiro, to fend off accusations from various media outlets.
They set Spiro loose on provocateur Piers Morgan, after the media mogul had interviewed Jaguar Wright, who claimed Jay-Z and Bey have even more “victims” than Diddy, during an episode of his show Uncensored.
Spiro jumped on TMZ Live to give the British broadcaster an ultimatum – to withdraw his guest’s accusation and apologize – which Piers ultimately decided was the right choice. He edited out the controversial part of Wright’s interview and said, “We had lawyers contact 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 on a show called Uncensored. But, like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theatre, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologise to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
