Who knows how to use makeup!
Beyonce’s mom was not having it!
Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé, fiercely defended her daughter against accusations of attempting to present herself as a white woman by wearing platinum blond hair at the premiere of her film “Renaissance.” Knowles shared a video montage on Instagram showcasing derogatory comments criticizing Beyoncé’s appearance and accusations of skin bleaching. She countered these claims by highlighting Beyoncé’s diverse skin tones over the years and emphasized that being a “brown skin girl” is more than just a skin color—it’s about culture, pride, and strength.
Knowles expressed frustration at the racist and self-hating comments directed at her daughter, calling out the audacity of a white TMZ reporter who reached out to Beyoncé’s hairstylist, suggesting Beyoncé wants to be white.
She wrote:
Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white. She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin? .. How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy. Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. . ALIEN Superstar duh! What’s really sad is that a white woman had the audacity to reach out to Neal Beyonces hairstylist she was from TMZ to say that the fans are saying that she wants to be white and she wanted to get a statement about it from Neal. . Well that made, my blood boil , that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness. What’s really most disappointing is that the some Black people yes you bozos that’s on social media. Lying and faking and acting like you’re so ignorant that you don’t understand That black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days. I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about everyone of them at one time or another. Are they all trying to be white? 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. Cont.
ANALYSIS
Ms. Knowles expressed frustration at the racist and self-hating comments directed at her daughter, calling out the audacity of a white TMZ reporter who reached out to Beyoncé’s hairstylist, suggesting Beyoncé wants to be white. She condemned those within the black community perpetuating the same narrative, pointing out that numerous black celebrities, including Etta James, have worn platinum blond hair without intending to emulate whiteness.
Knowles condemned the continuous attacks on Beyoncé, particularly when she achieves milestones that demonstrate her talent and hard work. She labeled the critics as “sad little haters,” addressing jealousy, racism, sexism, and double standards perpetuated by them.
While Beyoncé has not responded to the controversy or her mother’s remarks, many individuals praised Tina Knowles for standing up in defense of her daughter, acknowledging her efforts to protect Beyoncé from unwarranted criticism.
While defending against baseless attacks is crucial, some might argue that responding with anger and name-calling (“sad little haters,” “losers”) may not effectively address the issue. There needs to be a way to challenge stereotypes and encourage open discussions to foster understanding and appreciation for diverse expressions of beauty without resorting to divisive language. Additionally, highlighting Beyoncé’s positive contributions without denigrating those who misunderstand or criticize could help promote a more constructive dialogue.
