Karrueche Tran has been forced to defend herself yet again in the midst of backlash she has received for making an inappropriate joke about Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter Blue Ivy on live television, sending her “sincerest apologies” to those she has offended while also hitting out at others who have reportedly sent her death threats. It's now also emerged that the show's producer has been suspended in the fallout of the furore.
The 27-year-old model, who is best known as the on/off girlfriend of Chris Brown, caused a storm of controversy when hosting BET’s 106 & Park on Monday when she dissed two-year-old Blue Ivy’s hair, joking to the audience: “I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair.”
It was clearly a bad move as Twitter erupted over the comment, prompting Karrueche to release a second statement addressing the scandal, in which she blames the TV network for scripting the diss.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, Karrueche explained: “Past two days have been extremely draining.. As I geared up for a big day for myself - hosting a live show..
“I never expected things to turn out this way.. I apologize to any and everyone who felt offended in any way by the comments made by BET executed through me. I would never disrespect anyone's child in any way and anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Beyoncé.”
She continued: “My comments have been in complete shambles.. yes I am human too and yes I do make mistakes.. But all this negativity and death wishes are quite a lot.. Definitely a lesson learned from here forth.. Again, on behalf of MYSELF, my sincerest apologies #BeyHive.”

Following a flood of angry outbursts from Beyonce’s fans, BET’s programming director Stephen Hill issued an apology to Beyonce and Jay Z while also urging viewers not to blame Karrueche for the ill-advised joke.
“Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child. We apologize publically to the child’s parents (and have done so privately) and we have taken punitive actions with those responsible,” Stephen tweeted last night.
“It was very bad judgment and we will serve you much better in the future. Oh, and please don’t hate on Karrueche; it was NOT her fault. We also apologize to her for putting her in that position.”
It seems those punitive actions weren't taken lightly as reports have emerged that an unnamed 106 & Park producer has been suspended over the joke
