You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I just read this amazing review. I haven't seen it, but I want to. Lemonade
I give it to her, the album has been getting rave reviews in a ton of different places. Whatever you may think of her, talking about infidelity under the glaring microscope of the public eye is pretty ballsy. I'm dealing with it now and I don't even want to talk about it on an anonymous message board. And I'm Polly Plainclothes.
There is no amount of money in the world that would make me want to reveal my own personal stuff in that way. Its a pretty contrived well detailed moneygrab, which makes me believe that its all true and devastating. I get it.

ut: NOPE, I heard that it was staged because her show wasn't selling out like she thought it would!!!!!! Just because you heard this, doesn't make it so. The only people who know are the people directly involved, and none of us belong in that group. I'm inclined to believe it was not staged. I'm not particularly a fan of hers--beer bought a record or concert ticket and don't plan to--but I thought her halftime performance was awesome. I think people that are offended aren't understanding her message.

I agree, and I'm sorry you're dealing with it. It's 1 thing to use it to express your real feelings and another to exploit it. She's SELLING this album only thru her husband's music company. You can't buy it on iTunes, etc........... Extra icky. Don't diss him and talk about how hurt you are and then let him sell it for you!! She couldn't get out of the contract with his company and do this on her own??

I feel sorry for Blue Ivy having to see this later in life. Way TMI for anyone. Doing it and making a buck (or a few million) off of it is gross.

She released it on ITunes last night. I think it was only exclusively on Tidal for a few hours. I hear what your saying, but the flipside is that she is now making money through his music service by letting the world know he's a d*ck.
Again, I'm only looking at it both ways because I know how humiliating it can be to be cheated on. I also know that (at least from what I've been reading) she's gotten to a place with him where she can see her way to trying to make it work.
And I'm not even a huge fan of hers, honestly. I can't even believe I'm here defending her, because I was one of those people who was so pissed off when the elevator video came out and all the stories about her trying to increase concert sales started swirling. But now I'm looking at it in a slightly different light.

She couldn't get out of the contract with his company and do this on her own?? She is also an owner of Tidal; Jay-Z is not the sole owner. And Tidal is the only *streaming* option - you can buy it on iTunes (you just can't stream it on Apple Music, Spotify, etc.). Don't malign her and essentially call her dumb if you don't even have your facts straight.

I thought it was very powerful. Visually, it was stunning and beautiful to watch.

Every time I see something about this I just think of the Amy Schumer sketch for "Milk, Milk, Lemonade."

I personally find everything about her so contrived --- this whole controversy with Rachel Roy feels geared to sell albums. They all benefit from the publicity.

"Don't malign her and essentially call her dumb if you don't even have your facts straight."
I hardly malaigned her, nor did I refer to her as 'dumb'. I gave my personal opinion. *I* don't care for her anymore, just as many Peas here don't anymore. I have a right to my own opinion. I stand corrected about Tidal--I didn't know that she was a co-owner. All you ever hear on social media (or him speaking about it, or other artists on his label) is that it's HIS label. If it were ME, I'd never want him to have a part of my successful earnings, especially if this was a heartfelt album created out of hurt (by him). That's her choice to take him back. Personally, I don't believe any of it. More hype to try to sell her records after her last fiasco. We'll see how her concert here in FL (this weekend) goes. Many cops and cop families are up in arms about her stunt. We'll see how it goes.

Beyonce doesn't seem like the type who would share or refer to this personal matter publicly. Rachel Roy's tweet just said she respected marriages, she didn't admit to anything. Her Instagram post, I don't know, could be a veiled comment or just a random coincidence. But how exactly was the connection made to Rachel, was her name said by Beyonce, just wondering how people connected the dots? I just got her fashion book from the library so I googled who she was the other day. There was a tweet before the marriage tweet that she (RR) has since deleted. That isn't the whole story that she "respects marriages....."

Spoiler... He cheated, she left him, she took him back. He's cowed enough he appeared at the end kissing her feet and looking like someone snatched his balls. the best parts were her ripping him a new one. It's all told through imagery, song and some really bad poetry (not a fan of poetry, maybe it's good, mostly sounded like someone trying too hard). I have not seen it nor do I intend to. But I find this strange considering they have admitted to being a D/s couple. Don't know if it was an open or mono situation though. But strange never the less.
