Jay Z & Beyonce put on united front after fight footage leak
Beyonce and Jay Z put on a united front at a basketball game on Monday night (12May14), just hours after video footage of the rapper's alleged fight with sister-in-law Solange Knowles leaked online.
Following last week's (05May14) Met Gala in New York, Beyonce's younger sister reportedly became embroiled in an explosive altercation with the 99 Problems hitmaker in an elevator at The Standard Hotel, and surveillance video footage of the drama was obtained by TMZ.com.
In the clip, Solange appears to punch and kick her brother-in-law
as a bodyguard attempts to restrain her. At first Beyonce stays out
of the fray, but then steps between her sister and her husband and
appears to attempt to calm her sibling down.
While representatives for all three have yet to comment on the
matter, Beyonce and Jay Z were spotted courtside at the playoff
game between Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets.
The pair smiled and showed no signs of trouble, happily chatting
with NBA pro LeBron James while he took a quick break from the
match.
Meanwhile, bosses at The Standard Hotel are investigating how the
security camera footage made its way into the public domain.
A statement from management reads: "We are shocked and disappointed
that there was a clear breach of our security system and the
confidentiality that we count on providing our guests. We are
investigating with the utmost urgency the circumstances surrounding
the situation and, as is our customary practise, will discipline
and prosecute the individuals involved to our fullest
capacity."
