A new surveillance video popped up on the internet today of Solange Knowles attacking Jay- Z in an elevator at the Standard Hotel at a Met Gala after party. Beyoncé and a bodyguard witness the altercation. The cause of the attack is still unknown.
Here is a play-by play of the surveillance video. The video clip is 3:32 minutes long and there is no sound. Beyoncé, Solange, Jay Z and then a bodyguard get on the elevator. The bodyguard presses one of the elevator buttons. Solange starts talking to Jay Z and gets in his face. Then she started hitting him. He tries to push her away to defend himself. Then the bodyguard pulls her off of Jay Z. She is still trying to kick him. She tries to kick him a few times. It looks like Beyoncé says something and steps between Jay Z and Solange all while the bodyguard is holding her back. Then the body guard presses some of the elevator buttons. He let’s go of Solange and stands between Solange and Beyoncé (Who is next to Jay Z) Solange is still talking at them pointing her finger in their faces. Then the elevator stops, the door open and she tries to attack Jay Z again. The bodyguard pulls her back again. Then the bodyguard and Beyoncé exit the elevator, Solange starts to exit the elevator and then attacks him again. Everyone gets back in the elevator. Then Beyoncé and the bodyguard stand between them. Then they finally exit the elevator. After exiting the building Beyoncé and Solange leave in one car and Jay Z in another.

Thoughts: Holy snap! This is so crazy. What in the world are they fighting about? When I first heard about the video, I thought that the “attack” meant some yelling, screaming and maybe some slapping. Then I saw the video and that was frightening. She really looked like she was trying to hurt him. She kept trying to attack him over and over again. It almost looked like when a 5 year old as a temper tantrum and the parents just sit back and let it happen. This video shows that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are really classy. They both keep their cool throughout the entire altercation. Jay-Z does not engage in the physical altercation at all. He only blocked her from hitting him. Beyoncé does not get involved in the fight. Regardless of the argument, violence is never the answer. I would expect that behavior from a 5- year-old not a grown woman. Hopefully they can work out their differences without more violence.
UPDATE
This story just gets crazier. It is being reported that this is not the first time that this has happened or even her first fight that night. That is so crazy. I have a sister; sometimes we fight and there is rarely yelling. The last time we had a slapping kicking and yelling fight, I was 5 year-old. I just do not understand how a 27 year-old woman could behave this way and think that this is acceptable behavior. Since the video leaked, Solange deleted almost all of the pictures of Beyoncé on her Instagram. That sounds like a mature thing to do after a fight.
Perez Hilton is now reporting the cause of the fight. It is reported that Solange invited some non-famous friends to the after party at the hotel were the fight went down. The guests that Solange had invited were name dropping Jay Z’s name instead of Solange’s name. Jay Z found out and so did Solange. She wanted to leave and on the way out Jay Z mentioned going to Rihanna’s party and Beyoncé would not be attending. Then a source reports” “She seemed drunk and irritated. She said, ‘Why can’t you go home?’ and to Beyonce ‘Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?’ “Then Jay Z called her a bad mother and then got physical.
Thoughts: Who is the source? Is it the bodyguard? He was the only other person in the elevator besides Solange, Beyoncé and Jay Z. I don’t know if this is true or not. I really hope not because that is just sad. If it is true I understand why she would be upset. It is offensive to be called a bad mother. If Jay Z did call her a bad mother due to her partying it would seem that he was just at the end of his rope with her behavior. I still do not think that his comment justifies her animalistic attack on Jay Z. A year ago, Solange canceled her tour due to physical and mental health issues. I don’t know if this recent attack was caused by some health issue or this is just how she behaves. If it is a health issue, I hope she gets the help she needs.
