Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles is fervently standing up for her daughter after critics lambasted the singer’s complexion and styling at the world premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, which the multihyphenate starred in, produced, and directed.
Yesterday, Knowles shared a lengthy Instagram post calling out those who accused Beyoncé of “lightening her skin.” Knowles’ words were accompanied by a video of Beyoncé throughout the years. In her caption, Knowles said she decided to post “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.”
