JAYZ,BEYONCE AND SOLANGE FINALLY SPEAK OUT
Jay Z, Beyonce and
Solange say "families have
problems and we're no
different" after a video
leaked of Beyonce's sister
attacking the rap mogul in
a hotel elevator.
In an exclusive statement to The Associated
Press on Thursday, the trio said they have
worked through their differences and
moved on since the video emerged this week
showing Solange kicking Jay Z as Beyonce
looked on.
"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," the statement said. "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."
It was the first comment the performers
had made since the website TMZ posted the
3-minute video on Monday, saying it was
shot last week inside the Standard Hotel.
The video, which does not have audio,
shows Solange attacking Jay Z in Beyonce's
presence; a security guard intervenes. The
footage shows the performers in the outfits
they wore to the Met Gala.
"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."
The hotel said Wednesday it had fired the
person who recorded the video.
Beyonce and Jay Z, who were married in
2008, will kick off their co-headlining "On
the Run Tour" on June 25 in Miami.
