106 & Park may be taking a week-long hiatus after a writer set Karrueche up to feel the wrath of the BeyHive.

While hosting 106 & Park earlier this week, Karrueche was reading the teleprompter as part of the segment “All The Things Blue Ivy Thought During The VMAs,” when things took a turn for the worst with a distasteful joke about Blue Ivy’s hair.

Kae is taking full responsibility for the joke. A statement from her reads:

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.”

BET’s President Stephen Hill also backs up Karrueche’s claim, admitting it was a set up, adding that they’ve reached out to the Carters to apologize.

“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. 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.”

A new episode of 106 & Park is not scheduled to air until Monday, September 8th.
