Damn B will always be a hot topic. Tina is a beotch!

Damn, Mrs. Knowles is freakin fool for real. If the damn clothes run small, then widen that mess up. Everybody doesn’t have a flat chest, no hips, ect. She should’ve made the stuff to fit all shapes and sizes. Don’t get a damn attitude cause they busted you out on the air!

just letting you know, you can get HOD clothes off of ebay for cheap. I was going to get a shirt and a hat and a pair of jeans. Then I said, naw, Im not supporting mama knowles in any way.

I think its HILARIOUS that this was kept and is being shown around, stupid mama knowles, go back to doing hair you evil huzy!!

I usually just read I don’t post but I had to say this to Grammar please shut the hell up. Nobody wants to hear your your english lessons.

Does anyone know what Beyonces measurements are. I would love to know. Or at least what size she is.??

cause she always says that she is wearing something from HOD but how can she if it only fits small people.

@#7 Samantha:

That would have been the perfect response. DO NOT GO INTO BUSINESS IF YOU LACK BASIC CUSTOMER SERVICE/RELATIONS SKILLS.

From what I hear, Beyonce has no butt. Her former hairstylist is pissed about being fired and said that he would expose her. He claims that Michelle has a bigger butt than Beyonce. He claims that they specially pad her butt and that they intentionally make her wear low riding pants because it gives the illusion that she has a butt. In that case it would be possible for the jeans to fit her.

I thought the hairdresser lied but when I look back on old Destiny Child videos, her butt doesn’t look big at all.

I have seen some interviews where she’s stated that she wants to be a smaller size, but yet she talks about the greatness of being curvy. I think she is confused b/c she is confusing me and that is very hard to do.

Cosign with # 28 and #7.

Beyonce needs to really step out and away from her parents and grow a back bone. This is the second time that I have heard of that her mother has intervened when it was clearly an issue for Beyonce to handle. ACT LIKE YOU ARE 25!!!!

I think that they need to stop be nice and go off on those media jerks. Then I bet they will not get disrespected anymore.

If you developed the line, why not talk about the mishaps…yet your promoting such so-called perishable clothing( dont get wrong, they are very unique) but your the designer(you talk about those these types of situation and how u can prevent them)….this interview kinda of reminds me of a Bush interview…you cant answer the question because your that “uneducated” about what you produced….

lmao Mama knowles forgot to memorize her lines.

#15 Truer words have never been spoken! Will the real Be-not-say please stand up…with a chicken wing in ya hand?
I predict Bey will rebel in about a year or two. She may go get pregnant, elope with J, stop singing altogether, write a tell-all book or something else but she will rebel. I agree that the girl can’t interview to save her life. If you ask her about her album she starts to talk about J. If you ask her about her fans she may start talking about chicken. Maybe if she sits down somewhere and regroup she will be alright. The House of Dere-NOT get no respect in the fashion industry. Its disrespectful to call your line The House of anything if you haven’t paid your dues. Its reserved for the likes of Chanel, Gucci, Valentino or Vionnet (along those lines). Bey-Tina, go thataway—->

as a fashion major, i can explain the whole error in the clothing ordeal:

in a sense, Mama Crypt wouldnt have control over the sizing, more or less its the folk that handles the whole production of the clothes. 10 times out of 10 (haha, yeah) they had them clothes sewn over there in china. and like anything, the clothes in the production got screwed and nobody double checked the outfits.
and if and when they DID checked it (the folks who handles HOD production)..when they confronted the asians about it, them asians over the slaved asians sewing it prolly cussed the HOD folk out telling them that there’s nothing wrong with the clothes and to deal with it (cuz alot of them put more of the blame on the creator, NOT the sewing production line).. after all, house of dereon and them are only being charged $5 per outfit made (YES thats how cheap an outfit can run through production in 3rd world countries, same with shoes)

so yeah, mama crypt couldve easily said “i will have my people look more into it and fix this ASAP” instead she wanted the news to edit her and made her seem like this HOD stuff is the new black..

3 Points:

Why does Beyonce say that Derion is a “lower line”. That’s insulting your own product. She should call it an alternate line, or a line that sells quality garments at a lower price point, etc.

Somebody needs to tell Tina that interviews aren’t free commercials. If she does not want to answer all the questions asked just do one of those info-mercials like George Foreman

Tina is an evil bitch, I can see it in her pulled back face.

LMAO@ WILL…I did notice she said “lower line” I was like wtf??? The woman clearly needs an education, along with her mommy. I don’t think Solange is that bad, she had time to brush up on her education when she was pregnant.

#163.

Many good points. I only wish there were someway to get these comments to Beyonce.

I know people hate when you compare B and Janet, but Janet was 18 when she fired her dad. When will B, for a lack of a better phrase “grow some balls”?

ROFL!!! Tina cracks me up yo

I mean, I don’t see the big deal. They could’ve handled it professionally and answered in a very professional and eloquent manner. But Tina don’t know how to do that lol

i have to admit that i had the same probs with her fakeness, until i listened to her interview with angie martinez and watched her on the tyra banks show. we expect TOO much from her, shes still young, give her time to grow.
im SO SICK of her whole family, they are all OVEREXPOSED, they need to take a backseat sometimes. i think mathews time is about up, solange cant sing, tina’s clothes are only suitable if and only if you wnat to LOOK OLD!!beyonce needs to get PERSONAL and put out some QUALITY music that is a true reflection of herself and not DEENA!!!

Bey-not-think’s album is for young teens, I mean really, who says Kitty Kat and Freakum’ Dress but little girls? And what do you mean give her time to grow? The broad is 25 years old. That’s the time to finish growing and get on with life.

@ Will, trust me when I say that Be-Tina has folk on these blogs everyday coming back with a full report…TRUST

Beyonce had nothing to do with the fact that her mother got upset with the situation. I think Beyonce would have answered the question if her mother didn’t go off. Also people mess up with interviews all the time. you are suppose to go over the questions the press can ask you and what they cant before you have the interview. If you mess up you can shoot it again. This is show business. Everything is planned.

@169
To whom much is given, much is expected.

@171
Ok you really didn’t mean, “Beyonce would have answered the question” right? You know Be-not-say can’t speak a lick. She probably would’ve answered with, “Yeah me and Jay collaborated on the whole album.” Lmbao!

WE SHOULD ALL KNOW BY NOW THAT MS.TINA IS A NASTY BITCH. WHAT THE FUCK WAS ALL THAT STARTING OVER SHIT…FAKE ASS BITCH!! IF SHE CAN’T ANSWER QUESTION JUST PUT THE SHIT IN THE STORE AND TAKE YOUR DAMN CHANCES. I WOULDN’T BUY IT JUST BECAUSE IT’S A KNOWLES CREATION. I AIN’T TRYING TO MAKE THEM RICHER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE.YOU CAN’T ASK THEM A SIMPLE FUCKING QUESTION. NOBODY OWES THEM SHIT,BESIDES THEY AIN’T BROKE…DON’T BUY THAT SHIT!!!FUCK YOU TINA YOU FAKE ASS BITCH!

#3 CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUE…SOMEBODY’ FUCKIN LOST HERE AND IT AIN’T ME!!! WTF???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

@ 143

You took the words right outta my mouth. The Knowles clan need to wake the hell up and understand that not everyone is so in love with Bey that they will always sugarcoat questions for them. They are lucky as hell no one brought up the use of fur in their line or even questions on where exactly HOD is manufactured.

omg Beyonce is so dependent of her mom. I mean c’mon you’re a grown woman, stand up for yourself. Tina Knowles is so annoying. I swear, she needs to stop coddling her daughter… let her speak for herself.

Tina is the epitome of the term ’stage mom’.

lol i dont know what to say.

I agree that Mrs. Knowles could have said “we’re working on that right now” with a smile.. But at the same time, we don’t know what they deal with on a daily basis… and Mrs. Knowles might have been trying to have a happy moment and the reporter just messed it up so she had to respond in a negative way.. that’s my thought on that cause their’s no other reason why she had to do all that.

I think Beyonce is just not the confrontational type. She looked uncomfortable in that moment and it reminds me of when I was youngER and my Mom used to cus people out in public. IT WAS EMBARRASSING!!!!!!

I have to say this.
High end fashion is for rich white women. She doesnt want larger black women wearing the clothes. Then the rich white women wont want to pay the high prices.

A lot of designers make their clothes smaller so that fat girls cant wear them. Keep in mind that fat is a size 8.

Tina’s response was unnecessary and completely UNPROFESSIONAL. She looked GUILTY as all hell by not wanting to answer a simple question. Just say that you’re looking into it and the problem will be fixed, blah blah, and move on.

She looked like the wicked witch of the South. And Beyonce looked like a smiling blow up doll.

PLEASE get a publicist and some media training before you go to interviews and make yourself look like an ass!

Another nail in the coffin of HouseofDeadWrong….

Dingy ass Tina & Beyonce…wow!

I mean MRS. Knowles is obviously not educated enough. I guess that’s y she did not put an emphasis on education for her kids. When she seen B all she seen was a gold mine. One day B is gonna have one of those Mcdonald’s Coffees and wake up. B: “Mama I just realized that you talk to damn much”

LOL That girl’s mama is something else! She don’t play! She is quick to get an attitude. And I love Bee but she’s really starting to annoy me. Why doesn’t she ever speak up for herself? I’m close with my mother too, she’s one of my best friends, but I still I have the ability to hold my own in a conversation when’s she’s around. I’m not a brand name clothes wearer anyway, but if they’re really not going above a size 8 I know I won’tbe buying any of their clothes.

GEEZ people, lest we not forget that celebrity or not they are imperfect human beings just like the rest of us. You wonder why she acts “FAKE” all the time, but it’s people like the ones on this post who call her MAMA all kinds of BIOTCHES and names. NO matter what she does people will have something to say, If she dpeaks out, she’ll be trying act hood and she from the suburbs. If she acts polished, she’s fake. SHe can’t win. And If I were her I wouldn’t even try. GIVE IT A REST PEOPLE

@ 181

Well that’s a problem when Mrs. Tina is NOT a size 8. As a designer you should make clothes that fit you as well.

She said the interview should be positive. Come on now, this is press, positive is boring, She dont know that?

first of all house of dereon is whack! have u seen their prices? they are ridiculous, her line is so damn expensive. she always stated that her clothing will fit bigger or more volumptous women, but i clearly don’t see it. She needs to start talking up for her self, i think beyonce has no god damn sense just an air head with weave!

@ #37, Beyonce and Tina has a professional designer assisting them with the clothing line. Therefore the measurements should be perfect to a t. However, that isn’t my issue with the Knowles family, my issue with them is that Beyonce never has the opportunity to speak for herself during any interview. Her mother is always there defending her, even when it isn’t necessary. If Beyonce can hire an acting coach for Dream Girls, she sure as hell can hire a speech coach to teach her how to articulate.

beyonce has a lot to learn from kimora lee simmons! because Babyphat line is off the hook and they are affordable! even JLO. like come on beyonce i ain’t gonna lie the clothes are nice but damn i ain’t paying $160 for a fucking pair of jeans! thats sad.

Okay, so I’ve been at work all day and was unable to watch the video, but I did read all the comments. Now that I have seen it (I’m home now), all I can say is “Wow!!” This uneventful interview is what caused all the hoopla??? I was think Mama Tina was ready to slap a b*tch the way some of y’all were going on! lol. Everybody is all up in arms, TYPING IN ALL CAPS, for nothing!

**thinking

look at what i found, i think some people ae out to get beyonce. i personaly dont think its true because its obviuous dat her stomach is like this from her ups and downs weight.

BEYONCE GOT LIPO? SAY WHAT?!
So our favorite diva Beyonce ain’t all what she says she is…at least according to Mediatakeout.com.The site offers an explanation for all the loose skin around Beyonce’s tummy…LIPOSUCTION! (gasp)Ohhh…say it ain’t so, all this time I thought she really went on a water diet. AWWWW…man!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH …..HAHAHA :::COUGH COUGH:::: WHOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! Beyonce mama got called out !!! dang then gone get mad cus the lady aint askin the questions she want her to!!

For those of you that said BeDUMBce has nothing to do with the clothing line you’re wrong. The caption clearly states Beyonce’s clothing line. For the comment a few notches above, we don’t expect any celeb to be perfect but when you perpetrate like you are than that will be expected of you. NOne of the posters here claimed to be perfect so what does calling Bey and Tina a beotch has to do with anything. Stick to the subject and…peace be still.
I just caught the end of the Tyra show with BeTina on there and Tina just boguarded the whole damn interview. For some reason I am getting the Bey wants to explode and be who she really is. And why in the hell is there a HOD and a Dereon line? Did they run outta names or something?

OK, Brian, it sounds like you are trying too hard. Even the most die hard Beyonce fan has to admit that she is the face of the clothing line, and as such should also have a voice. Her mother’s response was personal while the reporter was being professional and asking the questions a reporter is supposed to ask. Once again, Beyonce is not GOD, she is subject to the same questions any other designer or face of a clothing line is.

mama knowles even shut down Oprah when she asked about the sizing… The core audience Beyonce attracts cannot fit that stuff. I think it was a legitimate comment.

Mama Gnome betta slow here role. She is no match for the Big O!

i dont understand beyonce i wonder how come she cant take up for herself i mean she is OLD enough. I like beyonce only for her talent but at times her personality is so dull and weak it makesher look so boring i dont kno i just hope she get it together one day.

I co-sign #24 Baily!!!! I am so glad you all are finally seeing that Beyonce is Pretty and Dumb!!! She isn’t very smart, but you don’t really have to be!!! Just get media training!!! If she can cut an entire album without telling her parents, she can pay for her own media training without letting anyone know about it!!!

And whoever said Jigga wouldn’t be with someone so dumb forgot that OPPOSITS attract!!! He is ugly but very smart, she is beautiful but not so smart!! Bottom line!!!!

“where would she be with out her mama” you ask. Where the hell would you be without your mother? ~Ignorant~

#1- If you are introducing something that you personally have put time and effort into, why would you portray it in a negative light off the back.
Mama Tina has every right to protect herself and her daughter. Beyonce may seem fake because everytime you see her she says the same thing, if she was inconsisten yall would be jumping on that. I mean damn how is knowing “the real B” gon help yall. yall just want be up in people business so you can scrutinize them even more. And yall keep tlking about how boring and fake, and dumb she is. Yall act like you be sitting right between her legs evrey where she goes, 24 hrs. a day. The fact is you people buy into anything. Just cause people seem “real” don’t mean they are. People will portray any character or persona for a dollar. So how do you know whats real. Yall think yall know all about beyonce cause you see her on tv, or read an interview.

#2- You all don’t understand if you give the media an inch, they’ll take a foot. Feel Me? Answering a question like that could have let to the bombardment of questions pertaining to the sizing issue, thus making the whole interview about a problem.

#3- Has anyone stop to think, that maybe she was not aware of the sizing issue up until that point.

#4- The line is sized from 0-12 or 14. They plan to bring out plus sizes later on. Thay said so on oprah.
F.Y.I. $120 is affordable compared to real couture fashions that cost $500 for some jeans.

#5- Just cause something is marked down in a store does not mean it is cheap, after the merchandise is sold to the store. we have nothing to do with the price. That’s why you see on most tags where it says “Manufacture’s suggested retail price”.

#6- Also mama tina is not only trying to appeal to b’s fans but also try to start a real fashion line. To rank with the likes of names yall never even heard of. High Fashion brands. I know yall only know about stuff like armani, fendi, coach, and louis vuitton cause thats all black celebrities talk about. And those are the boot-legg version yall buy. But real couture fashion does not come in anything about a 10 a the very most. Just like shoes and bras and panties. All the fashionable stuff comes in small sizes. So stop tripping!

And last but not least. Hateration is a disease, so get cured!

I hope one day we get to see Beyonce speak and think on her own without her familie’s input! Maybe then I will like her a lot more.

to 185, I am wit you on that, at B’s age, honey you gots to speak up for yourself and cant have your momma on your back holding down ALWAYS!!!!!! Otherwise gurl its ova, Moma got to be there always, makes me wonder , when is Mama NOT there, get my drift……. London, anybody?

I think the report’s question was legitimate. Tina handled it all wrong. All she had to say was that they were addressing the issue of sizing, and that they want their line to fit and flatter women of all shapes! Nuff said. Lose the attitude! Tina looks really evil at times, and Beyonce should learn to speak up!

Sooooo let me get this straight.. they were doing this interview for this overpriced crap.. yet no one was allowed to ask questions about the clothes??

See Bill, I told you Be-Tina has peeps on the Loop here to straighten us out..lol. Anyway, what kind of designer are you if you don’t know your product? You have to be aware of the sizes. If she was unaware of the sizes she wouldn’t have told O that they will be bringing plus sizes later on. Yeah right she didn’t know the sizes. IF she was tryna’ be all high fashion then she wouldn’t try to make plus size clothes to begin with? Don’t underestimate us black folk. We do know other designers, at least I do. And being “affordable” and “couture” are two different things. And babes, couture jeans aren’t $150. They are a bit more than that.

dereon is not made for the obese. the clothing provides a higher rise in the back to create an ample bottom for the ladies lacking a nice posterior. the jeans do what they purport but nothing is crafted for everyone in mind. most clothing is made from a form and in this instance, if you’re cokebottle shaped as Bey or how Chaka Khan used to be then this line of clothing will work for you. its similar to just like the ass has to fit into apple bottoms, not sure who wears them, to look right.

As far as interview etiquette ppl make mistakes… but i don’t see the same disrespect for keyshia’s, dmx, hell 99% of rappers ignant interviews. some topics are actually scripted in interviews due to high volume artists face and candid or frankness is truly unexpected as is the case of this one held at the old marshall field’s here in chicago.

apologies for the essay. just a fluid thought.

They both sound like morons. They are SO unarticulate…they cant even speak. Beyonce’ sounds dumb like her mother. Its just something about the both of them that doesnt seem so smart.

That was a valid question that I would have appreciated the answer to. I went to get a pair and tried on TWO sizes BIGGER than my own size and they STILL didn’t fit.

Before I even tried them on the fitting room lady told me that everyone who tried them on said they didn’t fit well.

There was nothing negative about her asking her that question.

Tina really needs to go sit her overly involved behind down somewhere!!

HATING!!!!!

Some of you OBBBviously dont know the game. Be is letting mama Knowles answer questions to take the heat off of her ! So no one can factually SAY Beyonce’ said or see on tape, Beyonce’ saying yada yada yada. It’s a smart move. People will not clobber her mom b/c her mom is NOT the star. So mama Knowles place ppl in their place w/o Be being blamed ! Dang ! Some of you get a CLLLL - EW !

I ‘m with #2. That was sooooo tacky and tasteless. It wasnt even a valid point. Why would you bring that up in an interview ?

Truly CLASSLESS !

I agree w/Samantha’s comment..Beyonce & her mother could of definately cleaned up the situation a little better than they did. They both need some interview training..lol, they were scrambling! And Beyonce is not a tiny person so why are the clothes so tiny! Omg, they are definately not true to size lol!

@213
Who cares if her mother answers or not the wrath will still fall on Beyonce, as you can plainly see the example right now, so Sweeets it wasn’t a strategy at all or as you call it “smart”.
And it was a valid point as you can see even people on the post/blog wishes to know the answer to that question. And it was “not” smart to stop the whole interview. It makes one seem unprepared and totally incompetant.

I’m not very impressed with the HOD line…I wear a size 11 and from reading these reviews probably wouldn’t fit into any of their clothes.I’ll stick to Baby Phat.I think Tina should have addressed the sizing issue.

ALOT OF PEOPLE ON THE CL CANT TALK ABOUT ANYONE’S SPEECH. CUZ ALOT OF YALL VOCAB IS LIMITED TO CUSSING!
TRUTH, YES IT HURTS.

BOTTOM LINE, BEYONCE MAKE SOME CLOTHES THAT A SISTA SIZE 16 CAN FIT!! damn…..

THE ONLY REASON Y TINA GOT MAD AT THE INTERVIEWER IS BC SHE DIDNT REHEARSE FOR THAT QUESTION AND SHE DIDINT AVE A DISTINGUISHED LEGITIMATE ANSWER!HOW IS THAT BEING NEGATIVE? THE INTERVIEWER IS STICKING TO THE POINT AND ADDRESSING THE “MADE FOR EVERYONE” THEORY, SHE JUST WANTED THEM TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE LIKE THEIR CLOTHES SO IF THEY ARE MAKING IT FOR EVERYONE JUST INCREASE THE FIT SO MORE PPL CAN WEAR IT AND ULTIMATELY THEY WILL MAKE MORE MONEY!DUH! AND BEYONCE JUST LAUGHED,I LIKE B AND EVERYTHING BUT SOMETHING IS OFF ABOUT HER.THEY EXPECT PPL TO KISS THEIR ASS ALL THE TIME BUT THIS IS THE REAL WORLD PPL WANNA NO MORE THAN THE REHEARSED REDUNDANT SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS EVERYTIME THEY DO AN INTERVIEW. WHY DO THEY EVEN DO INTERVIEWS? THEY SAY THE SAME SHIT..

I will say something positive though. I actually think the HOD that Bey wears is kinda nice. It doesn’t look like the same gear she’s advertising but it is nice.

To those who think asking about sizing discrepencies during an interview about the clothing line, and the new in-store opening at a large prominant retailer is out of line is just crazy! Consumers need to be aware of what they’re buying. I’m from Chicago and the reporter is a good well respect reporter whom i’m sure harbored no ill will when she attempted to get answers regarding the sizing issues.

Those 2 are FAB as in Fake Ass Bitches.

Beyonce is one fine ass DUMMY. She might be dumb as hell, but damn she fine.

WELL IT’S OBVIOUS THAT SOME HASN’T VIEWED IT FROM A INTERVIEW STAND POINT…

IT WAS AN INTERVIEW- GET IT? WHICH MEANS THEY WERE PUTTING ON A PRESENTATION. MANY IF NOT ALL OF US HERE HAS BEEN ON A JOB INTERVIEW, AND INTERVIEWS ARE MOSTLY FAKE, SO FOR THEM TO CORRECT THINGS IS NORMAL. THAT IS TINA’S CAREER, A CAREER INTERVIEW MEANS MUCH MORE THAN A JOB INTERVIEW SHE HAS ALOT TO LOSE IVE BEEN IN RETAIL AND IM IN FASHION, THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR HER WAREHOUSE TO FIX- HER, DISTRIBUTORS, STORES, AND WAREHOUSE, AND A FEW ETC. MUST FIX THIS MECHANDISE/ CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUE, YEA SHE COULDVE HANDLED IT MUCH BETTER,

BASICALLY SHE SCREWED UP HER INTERVIEW WITH US EMPLOYERS, BUT THE REPORTER SHOULD NOT HAVE ASK THAT QUESTION THE WAY THAT SHE DID, SHE COULDVE STATED IT MUCH MORE PROFESSIONALLY, WHICH COULDVE MADE TINA MORE COMFORTABLE AND SHE WOULDVE NOT ONLY ANSWERED HER, BUT ALSO WITHOUT THE REPORTER EVEN HAVING TO ASK THE QUESTION.

I’m sorry @224 but what is a suggestive way to ask that question “more professionally”?
