Now, Jay-Z/Solange/Beyoncé.
I’m sure you’ve all seen the video of Solange going bat-shit on Jay-Z in the elevator while it appeared Beyoncé stood off to the side doing her nails, so let’s dissect …
It’s clear, now, that Beyoncé did try to act as a buffer between the Dueling Divas, though she also didn’t seem to be looking at either of them; and it’s clear that every chance Solange got she tried to scratch, claw, kick, bite and shriek at her sister’s husband. It’s also clear that, after the bodyguard stopped the elevator for a Solange time-out, once the trio reached the main floor, Jay-Z looked whipped, Solange looked pissed, and Beyoncé wore a sly smile.
No one commented, though Beyoncé posted a prayer on her Instagram account asking for God to help her family, while Solange went through her Instagram files and deleted every single picture of Beyoncé. That’s saying something, y’all.
Then, at a Brooklyn Nets playoff game later in the week, Beyoncé and Jay appeared courtside for the cameras acting all lovey-dovey and smiling while Solange probably was kept waiting in the car … trunk.
Now, for speculation:
Solange was just on a tear that night, ALLEGEDLY shrieking at her designer friend Rachel Roy and others earlier in the evening. Beyoncé was said to have broken up that fight, however.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who arrived on the red carpet at the Met Ball together — where Jay-Z made a great show on dropping to one knee and putting a ring Bey had dropped back on her finger — hardly spent any time together at the party; Beyoncé and Solange partied together, alone.
Solange ALLEGEDLY attacked her brother-in-law because after the Met Gala he wanted to go to Rihanna’s after-party alone and maybe Solange doesn’t like Jay-Z and RiRi together.
Jay-Z had reprimanded Solange earlier in the night after some of her non-famous friends used his name to get into the Met Gala.
Lots of speculation, but I keep going to back to that after-elevator picture and Beyoncé’s smile; that smile says, Eff with me again and my sister will come at you harder!
But then Jay and Bey and Sol released a joint statement about the incident days after it was caught on film which says everything and nothing:
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.
“Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”
“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”
Uh huh. Jay and Solange are at fault because while they were cursing and kicking and fighting, Beyoncé was checking the net for pictures of herself and looking at the full–length mirror in the elevator.
It’s just family, y’all, cat-fighting in evening gowns and tuxedos in an elevator. And it's all bettah now because Bey and Sol are posting pictures of themselves on Instagram again.
Uh huh. The universe has righted itself.

ay carumba! what a mess!
ReplyDeleteand next weekend's the BIG WEDDING - the big ass and the big ego.
"I was asked why I have only worked on one film a year since having children." Like who? I was not wondering why. One film a year is too much if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame Lindsay doesn't get paid for drinking and partying since the beginning of all this. She'd be a billionaire by now.
I too have wondered about the wedding next week and if it will happen. I hear they are still trying to figure out how to get her huge ass through the plane doors.
Bob, will I Ain't One to Gossip be a special edition next week with wedding gossip?
i didnt realise that you hated the pommies so much that you would be happy to lump Lohan on the poor buggers Bob
ReplyDeletepersonally i would haves said..."sorry london i would have locked her up if i could to save you the pain of putting up with the drughead but the courts are a joke over here"
Ty
ReplyDeletePlease lock her up. We've tried and tried over here but it never seems to stick!
There's a Royal Wedding coming up??

Seriously ... Lindsay Lohan is going to be the next celebrity to OD. Either that or a horrible car accident ... unbelievably out of control.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your take on Kim and Kanye's wedding (EYES ROLLING)... great post Bob!
