Will Beyoncé remain loyal to her husband, JAY-Z — even with the current horrific allegations against him? It sounds like the answer is YES.
Two months ago, a woman accused Diddy in a lawsuit of raping her when she was 13 years. This shocking crime allegedly happened at an afterparty in New York following the MTV Video Music Awards back in 2000. She claimed a female and male celebrity saw the assault, and that the male star raped her as well. The identities of the celebs were not revealed back then, but that all changed on Sunday. We found out who the male celebrity was, and it turned out to be Diddy’s pal JAY-Z.

The rapper has denied the allegations and even claimed the victim’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, was trying to “blackmail” him. He’s doing whatever it takes to shut down the lawsuit — which could turn into a criminal complaint if the woman decides to take JAY-Z’s advice. But what about his family? What about Beyoncé? What are they doing during all of this?
Well, they’re supporting him for now — and they made that clear when the Roc Nation founder joined Bey, Blue Ivy, and Tina Knowles at the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King in Los Angeles on Monday night. Apparently that was Bey’s idea!
According to a source for Dailymail.com on Tuesday, the Crazy In Love artist “forced” JAY-Z to attend the movie premiere as she wanted to face this legal drama “head on.” She doesn’t want the family to hide! It’s business as usual for them. The insider explained:
“Beyoncé forced Jay-Z to go to the premiere last night. They are working with a crisis specialist who is advising them on how to handle this. Beyoncé believes that the best way is to face it head on.”
The source noted that their 12-year-old daughter “is well aware of what is going on and is intent on supporting her father in any way she can,” adding:
“She was there in solidarity with her dad and mom.”
Blue is also in the film, so there’s that. We can see why the moment would be important to her. But does she really know what’s going on?? If so, although the preteen is sticking by her dad, she must be feeling some type of way about how her big night had this dark cloud hanging over it — all because of him.
As for Beyoncé? She’s determined to make sure nothing breaks her family. The insider said:
“Beyoncé will do anything she can to keep their family together but is also concerned that more women will come forward with lies.”
If more accusations come out, though, will she continue to stick by his side? The source claimed Beyoncé had been preparing for her husband to get brought into the scandal surrounding Diddy as they had been friends for more than two decades. And since the horrifying video of the Bad Boy Records founder abusing Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway came out, their relationship has been strained. Uh oh. The insider revealed:
“This has been hanging over their head since Diddy’s arrest. It has been causing a strain on their marriage since the tape surfaced of Diddy assaulting Cassie. They have had many discussions about how it would play out if Jay were to ever be convicted of anything surrounding Diddy. He has been his best friend for over two decades.”
But don’t plan to see a Beyoncé and JAY-Z divorce headline anytime soon! Despite how hard the controversy has been on their marriage, the Texas Hold ‘Em singer is on Team JAY, no matter what. A source for Page Six said Beyoncé is “sticking by Jay, as evidenced by last night’s family outing.” A second insider also confirmed she “has no intention of leaving Jay-Z,” as she “wholeheartedly believes him” and is “supporting him.” They added:
“[The Carters are] a team and will face this situation together.”
What’s more, they aren’t going into hiding during this time. One insider told the outlet Beyoncé “has no intention of canceling” her upcoming halftime show for the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Texas on Christmas Day:
“Rehearsals have been and continue to be underway.”
Queen Bey isn’t going anywhere — when it comes to her career and her marriage! We wouldn’t be surprised if she even “forces” JAY-Z to attend her upcoming performance just to prove the Carters will still be a united front during all this. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments.
