Brian McKnight Sues Jaguar Wright for Defamation Over Abuse Allegations

Singer Brian McKnight files a defamation lawsuit against Jaguar Wright after she made false abuse claims involving his ex-wife, Julie McKnight, and others.

R&B singer Brian McKnight is taking legal action against Jaguar Wright for defamation, according to a recent report by TMZ. The lawsuit stems from Wright’s online accusations, which included false claims of abuse involving McKnight’s ex-wife, Julie McKnight, and alleged involvement with prostitutes.

McKnight strongly denies the allegations, labeling them as “blatant lies.” In addition to targeting McKnight, Wright has made similar shocking accusations against Jay-Z and Beyoncé, claiming they had more “victims” than Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Following an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Wright faced legal threats from the superstar couple’s legal team, prompting her to issue a public apology during the broadcast.


In a twist, Wright alleges she is related to Julie McKnight, though Brian McKnight claims he is unaware of any such connection. The singer is now seeking damages for harm to his reputation caused by what he asserts is a deliberate spread of misinformation.
