I appeared on a NBC News New York television segment about the attack on Jay Z in the Standard Hotel elevator in New York City. I was asked to talk about how the hotel handled the leaking of the security tape and what should have happened and then the potential repercussions. I answered a lot of questions and the tape was edited to a few lines but that’s how it goes with TV.

I did the interview with the lovely and very nice, Checkey Beckford, who is a reporter with NBC News here in New York. I must admit before I was asked to do the segment I had no idea that this incident even happened but I actually have been to that hotel numerous times and live not too far from there.

The Standard Hotel is a celebrity hangout hotel. It originated in Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip; I actually used to hang out there a lot in the early 2000’s when I nearly moved to LA. The Standard in New York is bigger and has more bars, clubs, restaurants, a great rooftop and has quickly become a big hangout for trendy New Yorkers.

This was an unfortunate incident and I am sure the person who leaked the tape will be dealt with. That said, I think the segment came out pretty good. Enjoy!
