Beyonce breaks silence over elevator fight between Jay Z and Solange Knowles
Superstar Beyonce has broken her silence to address leaked video footage of her sister Solange Knowles' elevator fight with Jay Z, insisting the famous family has "worked through" the drama.
Fans were sent into a spin on Monday (12May14) when surveillance footage obtained by TMZ.com appeared to show Knowles lashing out at her brother-in-law as she left a party at The Standard Hotel following New York's Met Gala on 5 May (14) with her sister and her husband.
Representatives for the stars refused to comment on the incident
after the black-and-white clip leaked, but executives at The
Standard Hotel managed to track down the employee responsible for
the leak and promptly fired the worker, with plans to pursue legal
action.
Now Beyonce has issued a rare statement to the Associated Press to
clear up ongoing gossip about what caused the family fall-out, and
although she stops short of going into specific details, she
maintains her husband and sister have made amends.
The statement reads: "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.
"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."
