Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, took to Instagram to call out people for claiming that Bey had lightened her skin.
Tina explained in her post that she had enough of the "stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements" about her daughter's appearance at the premiere for her "Renaissance" tour movie. She explained that the whole theme of Beyonce's tour was silver, which is why she wore platinum blonde hair and a silver dress. Tina then added, "How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy."
From there, Tina called out a white female reporter from TMZ, who she says called Beyonce's hair stylist for a response about the claims that Bey is lightening her skin. Tina stated, "Well that made, my blood boil , that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness."
Tina closed by saying, "I am sick and tired of people attacking her. Every time she does something that she works her ass off for and is a statement of her work ethic , talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism , sexism , double standards , you perpetuate those things .
"Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don't like her. , I am sick of you losers. I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up ! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times."
