    Funny how she’s getting threats but Jay-Z just gets a bunch of ribbing memes. Now I wonder why that is...?

      Jay got an entire album ripping him to shreds.

      Also, Jay has had the common sense to stay out of the public eye whereas this chick inserted herself where no one mentioned her. I’m sure she regrets posting this.

      Well, the entire album from his wife, who is entitled to musically eviscerate him. But do you really think that if, say, Bieber put out a scathing album about an ex his, fans wouldn’t tear her to shreds? Regardless as to whether they had reconciled?

    I don’t really care about her but they beyhive does need to stop bullying and harassing her daughter. It doesn’t matter what the woman did, there is no excuse to start attacking her daughter.

      I was able to go through some of the comments and see *who* was doing the bullying... I think a lot of people attribute the BeyHive to adult men and women, but in all reality, it was KIDS doing the bullying to her daughters. It’s not making it any better, obviously, and I don’t condone bullying in any form, but I hate that the BeyHive is looked at as this vicious group of self-loathing adults who jump to attack anyone and everyone in their path. There are millions of Beyonce fans and stans who don’t give a shit about bum ass Rachel Roy.

    So for all the talk of black girl magic, of Tamir, Freddy and their mothers, the value of black women...this is the legacy of Lemonade? Tell me I am wring, but then tell me what they conversation has been, what’s dominated the headlines...especially here. For all the talk of her blood and sweat and the significance of this art piece, we aren’t continuing to talk about the art, we are talking about so-called side pieces. There is so much to unpack, so many other stories that could be told and they aren’t; not even on a feminist website or from the artist herself. And we have to endure another 5-10 posts about Rita damn Ora.

    I am upset this took my attention away from celebrating Prince.

      I don’t have HBO so I haven’t seen it, but from the conversations I’ve read I assumed the entire album was about Becky With the Good Hair.

      Thank you for explaining more about it. It sounds worth seeing.

      Beyonce is the one who has decided to insert this in her song. That was her call... We are the consumers, so we are buying and talking about what we were offered to buy, in this instance this line of the song, and we believe it’s more important than the rest.

    I 100% don’t think she was the Becky in question and I think most Beyhive members don’t have any ill will to her regarding if she was or wasn’t the mistress. Where the ill will comes from is her trashy attention seeking ways and also the fact that she used “good hair” to describe herself which she, as the nonblack mother of two black children is a gross and damaging thing to say.

      Same. Why would this woman ever use the term “good hair” in the first place?

      “and also the fact that she used “good hair” to describe herself which she, as the nonblack mother of two black children is a gross and damaging thing to say.”

      So much of this. Lemonade accomplishes many things, but one of them is that it is an ode to black female beauty in all its forms. The shot of the women standing in the water, hands raised high, silhouetted against the sky, showcases all that beautiful black hair. As do the many scenes at the female compound towards the end, especially the dinner scene. It is not “good” or “bad” hair it is braided, natural, shaped into crowns. Roy is perpetuating a toxic racialized binary.

    “Good hair, don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always,”

    Who talks like this? What does this sentence even mean? Even if there was no “Becky with the good hair” context to put it in...what kind of communication is she attempting here? A light-hearted joke...about what?

      Yeah, that’s the problem with this new statement. Without the “Becky with the good hair” context, the comment makes absolutely no sense. Of course it doesn’t make a whole helluva a lot of sense in context either, so there’s that.

      I know! I reread this sentence over and over again. Like, In exchange for good hair she will take the good lighting? Is she trying to be deep? What is going on in this word salad?

    Why is it that when a man cheats we blame the woman he cheated with and not him? Is Jay-Z getting the same violent threats? I haven’t heard any press about that.

    I don’t think any of them should be threatened, but the mob is directing their rage at the wrong player in this game.

      we had a... heavy conversation about this on a different post the other day and it was interesting how comments arguing for ignoring the culpability of the woman he cheated with were aggressively dismissed

      Well, I am one of those people who doesn’t think that cheating is the ultimate evil. I’ve been cheated on, and it sucks, but its never been the real problem in the relationship. There were always other issues that led to the cheating. So while its hurtful and infuriating, I think its human and I certainly don’t think that anyone should be threatened with violence for engaging in it. Dump the cheater (or work out the underlying issue), block the person he/she cheated with on social media and move forward.

      Blaming the woman the man cheated with instead of the man who did the cheating is sexist bullshit. “Boys will be boys! But that WOMAN??? How DARE she?!?! That whore!”

    She may or may not be Becky, but I will agree that online harassment of her kid is a bridge too far. It must be really horrible for that girl to be exposed to all this vitriol for something that has nothing to do with her—that’s an absolutely fair point to make.

      completely. why people are attacking a total stranger who has nothing to do with the alleged affair is beyond me. you mad, hive? take it out on the only person everyone knows is at fault - jay z. or, you know, just keep out of other people’s business and be adult about it (LOL).

      She probably thought she could get a little free publicity not realizing how far it would go. I don't support people harassing her children (obviously) but if she catches slack for essentially bragging about causing another woman heartache then fuck her.
