Tina Knowles Slams Critics Who Criticized Daughter Beyonce’s Appearance

Tina Knowles, the mother and manager of singer Beyoncé, has taken to social media to defend her daughter against critics who have accused her of bleaching her skin. The accusations stem from a recent video of Beyoncé at the premiere of her film “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” where she appeared with lighter-toned skin.

In a scathing Instagram post, Knowles lashed out at those who made the skin-bleaching accusations, calling them “ignorant” and “self-hating.” She pointed out that Beyoncé’s skin tone has always fluctuated due to factors such as lighting and makeup, and that the video in question was simply a case of poor lighting.

“How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,” Knowles wrote. “Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown.. ALIEN Superstar duh!”

“I am sick and tired of people attacking her. Every time she does something that she works here an 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. I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up!”

Knowles went on to express her pride in Beyoncé’s heritage and her refusal to conform to narrow beauty standards. “This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.”

The accusations against Beyoncé have sparked a wider conversation about colorism and the societal pressures that Black women face to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards.
