We told you earlier about the not so funny joke told by Karrueche Tran on Monday’s episode of BET’s ‘106 & Park’ regarding Blue Ivy‘s hair at the MTV VMA’s on Sunday. If you missed the story, catch up HERE.
Well after Karrueche was dragged all over Twitter and apologized saying that BET’s producers were the ones who made her say it, Karrueche and her team have issued a formal statement AND BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, Stephen G. Hill is apologizing on behalf of the network as well.
Karrueche’s official statement came courtesy of her rep which reads below:
Yesterday, Karrueche Tran co-hosted 106 & Park and while hosting the show she made a comment about Blue Ivy’s hair during the segment “Top Six Things Blue Ivy Thought at the VMAs.” In no way did Karrueche mean to offend Blue Ivy or her parents Beyonce and Jay Z.
This was Karrueche’s first time hosting on live television. Although she had been rehearsing the script for days, there was a script change ten minutes before showtime to add coverage of the VMAs and the Mike Brown Memorial. Karrueche had not reviewed the revised script until she read it on the teleprompter.
Karrueche is taking full responsibility for the comment but wants it clear that she would not mock a child, “I am a huge Beyonce fan and I love Blue Ivy. I apologize for the comment and wish I had a chance to review the revised script so that I could have avoided participating in that segment.”
Karrueche admires girls and women who wear natural hair, “I love that Blue is able to wear her natural hair. I laugh when I am nervous and when I registered what I had just said, I of course was taken aback.”
Stephen also feeling the pressure took to Twitter as well to address the situation and revealed that Beyonce and Jay Z have both received formal personal apologies from the network. Additionally ‘106’ has suspended all of this weeks episodes, looks like the Beygency has been busy!
It appears a simple apology or two aren’t enough in the eyes of Bey’s loyal fans who apparently are now sending death threats to Karrueche, peep the post she made on Instagram Tuesday night.
