Tina Knowles addresses Beyoncé's skin lightening allegations
Tina Knowles has slammed everyone who has made allegations that her daughter Beyoncé has lightened her skin. "I am sick and tired of people attacking her."
Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, is tired of people hating on her daughter.
The mother took to Instagram to address "ignorant" people she calls haters who have claimed that Beyoncé lightened her skin for her film, 'Renaissance'.
Tina shared a video of some of the posts that social media users have posted about Beyoncé's look in the film, including: 'Why she's so white?', 'She lied on her origins', 'She whitens her skin'.
In the film, Beyoncé had platinum hair.
The mother 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."
The mother went on to explain the inspiration behind the look.
"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?"
She went on to add how some people are just jealous of her daughter.
"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!"
Tina said what made her blood boil was when a white woman called Beyoncé's hairstylist to "discuss her blackness".
"What's really sad is that a white woman had the audacity to reach out to Neal Beyoncés 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."

The mother also addressed black people who have criticised her daughter.
"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."
She added how Beyoncé is not the first black woman to wear platinum hair.
"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."
Tina said that although she knew Beyonce wouldn't like her confronting social media bullies, she is "fed up".
"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."
