Tina Knowles (now Lawson) was slammed on the internet for lying in her BET speech, but we heard the speech she gave after accepting her daughter Beyonce’s Award after she had to leave to do a concert in England—she said, “She had to run straight from the stage and get on the plane and fly to London for a concert.” So what gives —well Bey was actually going to perform in Sunderland, not London like she said and well people went in on her for her simple mistake—-this is pretty petty! Fan accused her of lying about Bey’s whereabouts!
Tina graciously explained her flub, but was hurt by the incident.
“I asked why did she have to leave early and was told by a member of her staff that ‘she had to get back in time for her concert’ and that she actually should have been there 2 days before, as the tour has been down for a month I assumed the date was Monday and the city was London well it turned out to be in the UK but wrong city and on Tuesday.”
“I then want to ask what would be the point of lying to the public and knowing that anyone could see when the date was. Anyone with good sense could see that! I am hurt and disappointed because I know what kind of work, sacrifice , and personal money it took for her to do this show and support the Bet Award show and to give her fans that did not get to attend the concert a piece of her show. (Even though it means she has one day to rehearse herself and dancers after being off for a month) That was really important to her.”
“We start lies and false rumors about our entertainers we celebrate when they stumble, we hope that they fall. We put them against each other when it’s room for them all! We talk negative about them and even their children which should be off limits. When they are gone we cry and say how much we loved them and cherish them we salute them in tributes. Well how about we do that when they are here?”
File this under WTF. We love you Tina!
