It's only been a few minutes since her husband betrayed her, and all this praise. That's really the eyeroll for me. But to move forward you have to... I guess.

Do we know if this is true? I've yet to hear the actual timeframe on when he cheated. All I've ever heard is that he was unfaithful, it took them awhile to work through it (hence missing Kanye/Kim wedding) and they were healed before the twins. I don't get the sense that his cheating is recent, how long has Kim/Kanye been married?

I'm rolling my eyes because I think she's pandering to her fanbase by attempting to sound all enlightened. And of course it's always about her. How enormous an ego do you need to have to say something like she hopes "I am able to break the generational curses in my family?" As if Bey has the power to alter the fate for future generations of her family because she believes strong enough. There's nothing in her marriage that could be interpreted as breaking the cycle.

Of course lots of celebrities say this kind of mumbo jumbo in interviews to try to appear special or important. I roll my eyes at them too.

A lot of women say the same thing especially ones who were abused and/or had a history of being teen moms. There are men who say the same things if they witnessed abuse or have been abused. It's all part of the same vein - negative harmful behaviors one grows to accept as normal. I know that some of you guys are quick to question their motives simply because there are celebs but there are plenty people who want to be the person to break a bad negative cycle in their family. I've watched friend and family struggle with the same sentiment.

A few minutes is relative, different for each person.. I was projecting my feelings of a few minutes. But, after reading the article posted, seems Bey was praising her husband for his behaviour, being a soldier and her best friend during her complicated pregnancy and birth. I understand, she was very pleased that he rose to the occasion. I'm confused as to why praise was needed in response to being and doing what a husband and father should do. I'm happy she's happy, happy with everything. She wants what we all want for children. However her struggles in life affect her, the struggles are not atypical, from what has been shared. She seems blessed, overall.

What is there to soldier during her pregnancy? Did he have to get a second job to pay the bills? Did he have to go without so she could eat? Did he have to walk 3 miles for groceries?

No I didn’t think so.

The thing is, we don’t know the details of her pregnancy and delivery. Twin pregnancies can be complicated, and given her prior miscarriage(s) we don’t know how difficult things may have been for their family emotionally, physically or psychologically. Yes, a father and husband is supposed to be there and be supportive but the fact is some men are better at these things than others. My ex-husband always surprised me with how he rose to the occasion during my pregnancies, staying up late with me, rubbing my back and being more like a doula than just a concerned spouse during L&D, while other decent husbands I know became useless when blood and bad nerves and scary surprises happened.

So since we weren’t there, I’m comfortable letting her praise his efforts during this specific time as it’s unrelated to his cheating and other shenanigans. I’m far from a Jay-Z fan and I’m ready to drop him the moment Bey says it’s time [emoji23] but it’s a stretch to say she shouldn’t express appreciation for him being a strong partner during a stressful time.

Watch Beyoncé Drag TF Out Of Jay-Z's "Becky" Mistress At 'OTRII'



Since Beyoncé dubbed Jay-Z's mistress as "Becky" on 2016's Lemonade, many have speculated about the true identity of the most-hated woman in BeyHive history.

At first, it was rumored to be Rachel Roy, Rita Ora and even longtime friend of the Carters Gwyneth Paltrow. However, all of this was merely speculation. Songwriter Diana Gordon mentioned that Becky is simply a moniker for side-chicks everywhere. Yet, two years later, due to Bey's private nature, fans took that information with a grain of salt and are still attempting to solve the "Becky" mystery.

So the internet hasn't figured out who this woman is yet? lol. So this cheating and reconciliation was recent before the twins and they haven't been able to narrow it down...I'm disappointed. Although, I don't want the BeyHive to go in on that poor woman who was just trying to get her comeup lol.

Beyoncé in Her Own Words: Her Life, Her Body, Her Heritage
Pregnancy & Body Acceptance
After the birth of my first child, I believed in the things society said about how my body should look. I put pressure on myself to lose all the baby weight in three months, and scheduled a small tour to assure I would do it. Looking back, that was crazy. I was still breastfeeding when I performed the Revel shows in Atlantic City in 2012. After the twins, I approached things very differently.

I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth to Rumi and Sir. I was swollen from toxemia and had been on bed rest for over a month. My health and my babies’ health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section. We spent many weeks in the NICU. My husband was a soldier and such a strong support system for me. I am proud to have been a witness to his strength and evolution as a man, a best friend, and a father. I was in survival mode and did not grasp it all until months later. Today I have a connection to any parent who has been through such an experience. After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily, and in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery. I am not sure everyone understands that. I needed time to heal, to recover. During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be. After six months, I started preparing for Coachella. I became vegan temporarily, gave up coffee, alcohol, and all fruit drinks. But I was patient with myself and enjoyed my fuller curves. My kids and husband did, too.

I think it’s important for women and men to see and appreciate the beauty in their natural bodies. That’s why I stripped away the wigs and hair extensions and used little makeup for this shoot.

To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller. I have a little mommy pouch, and I’m in no rush to get rid of it. I think it’s real. Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it. But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be.

Opening Doors
Until there is a mosaic of perspectives coming from different ethnicities behind the lens, we will continue to have a narrow approach and view of what the world actually looks like. That is why I wanted to work with this brilliant 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell.

When I first started, 21 years ago, I was told that it was hard for me to get onto covers of magazines because black people did not sell. Clearly that has been proven a myth. Not only is an African American on the cover of the most important month for Vogue, this is the first ever Vogue cover shot by an African American photographer.

It’s important to me that I help open doors for younger artists. There are so many cultural and societal barriers to entry that I like to do what I can to level the playing field, to present a different point of view for people who may feel like their voices don’t matter.

Imagine if someone hadn’t given a chance to the brilliant women who came before me: Josephine Baker, Nina Simone, Eartha Kitt, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, and the list goes on. They opened the doors for me, and I pray that I’m doing all I can to open doors for the next generation of talents.

If people in powerful positions continue to hire and cast only people who look like them, sound like them, come from the same neighborhoods they grew up in, they will never have a greater understanding of experiences different from their own. They will hire the same models, curate the same art, cast the same actors over and over again, and we will all lose. The beauty of social media is it’s completely ********ic. Everyone has a say. Everyone’s voice counts, and everyone has a chance to paint the world from their own perspective.

Ancestry
I come from a lineage of broken male-female relationships, abuse of power, and mistrust. Only when I saw that clearly was I able to resolve those conflicts in my own relationship. Connecting to the past and knowing our history makes us both bruised and beautiful.

I researched my ancestry recently and learned that I come from a slave owner who fell in love with and married a slave. I had to process that revelation over time. I questioned what it meant and tried to put it into perspective. I now believe it’s why God blessed me with my twins. Male and female energy was able to coexist and grow in my blood for the first time. I pray that I am able to break the generational curses in my family and that my children will have less complicated lives.

My Journey
There are many shades on every journey. Nothing is black or white. I’ve been through hell and back, and I’m grateful for every scar. I have experienced betrayals and heartbreaks in many forms. I have had disappointments in business partnerships as well as personal ones, and they all left me feeling neglected, lost, and vulnerable. Through it all I have learned to laugh and cry and grow. I look at the woman I was in my 20s and I see a young lady growing into confidence but intent on pleasing everyone around her. I now feel so much more beautiful, so much sexier, so much more interesting. And so much more powerful.

Freedom
I don’t like too much structure. I like to be free. I’m not alive unless I am creating something. I’m not happy if I’m not creating, if I’m not dreaming, if I’m not creating a dream and making it into something real. I’m not happy if I’m not improving, evolving, moving forward, inspiring, teaching, and learning.
