MAMA KNOWLES CUTS OFF INTERVIEW
Friday, September 29, 2006
Beyonce and Mama Knowles introduced their clothing line “House of Dereon” at Macy’s in Chicago yesterday, and quickly cut off the interview when the reporter asked some questions about the sizing of the clothes.
The reporter quoted a boutique owner who said she couldn’t get any of her customers to fit the clothing and Tina asked, Why would you do that, when this is supposed to be a positive thing.. The fakeness of the whole interview is so annoying to me. Beyonce just smiles and looks to her Mom for everything, and Tina had to re-do a one word slip up. It wasn’t even that serious. But whatever, watch the video for yourself.

I THINK TINA GOT DEFENSIVE CAUSE SHE THROUGHT THE REPORTER WAS TRYNA START SHIT…I MEAN SHE COULDA HANDLED IT BETTER …BET SHE EVEN LAUGHED WHEN SHE WAS TLKIN I DONT THINK SHE ACTED LIKE A BITCH…SHE JUST SEEMED ANTSY ABOUT IT…IT’S BEING BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION…
DON’T SEE WHY ERRYONES TALKIN BOUT BEYONCE THIS BEYONCE THAT…SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE THAT KIND OF PERSONALITY AND ARE NOT CONFRONTATIONAL. DOESN’T MEANS YOU’RE DUMB. INFACT HALF OF THE PPL THROWIN STONES ON CL CAN BARELY CONSTRUCT A SENTENCE, LET ALONE ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION WITH MAD CAMERAS FLASHING WHILE DEALING WITH THE PRESSURE OF YOUR EVERY WORD BEING RIPPERD APART.
NOT EVERYONE CAN HANDLE THAT PRESSURE…AND I DONT SEE WHY PEOPLE KEEP SAYIN BEYONCE’S MOM WENT TO BATTLE FOR HER,I MEAN WHO WAS THE QUESTION DIRECTED TO ANYWAY?

Dang I was going to try to at least support the dereon line but since beyonce said whatever she said about the more affordable clothes, i think i’ll pass on the embarrassment of wearing “a LOWER line thats made for teens especially”, wuteva!

It was kind of humorous how tina pointed to beyonce when the reporter asked the second question. It seemed as if she was saying “Ok go on and say your lines beyonce, we just got finished rehearsing this answer so I know u can handle this one by yourself!”

The Knowles were just so busy grooming her for fame, they forgot to send that girl to school. She may be beautiful, sexy but she needs to go back to school. Her vocabulary is very limited: BILLS, BILLS, BILLS; NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. And I see she has a new word: Amazing. It used to be Crazy. I just wish other talents had the same opportunities she has to mix it up a bit. I call that family Pinky and The Brain and Beyonce. They really want to take over the world. Sexy is good, but after the sex and we get up, we need to be able to relate to each other and have some conversation using more words than crazy and amazing. Tina stopped the interview because Tina CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH. That’s typical for the Knowleses. If they don’t like what you’re saying, they cut you off.

See? That’s the problem I have with B and her machine. It’s all propaganda. We, the public, are supposed to just swallow B no matter when and how she’s served because cuz they been working with her since she’s 10? Not knocking her hustle, but the Bs propaganda machine is always in overdrive. It comes off as so fake and for every fan she acquires, she loses one with that shit! Keep it real. Some folk just don’t want to around looking overdone and over the top all the time. That’s what I think of their line. Over done and over the top, too small and too expensive for the average. JLo did the damn thing. Everybody was wearing her clothes.

I don’t think the interviewer was out of line. It was timely. They were IN the store where the complaint was first lodged. They weren’t ambushed like the PETA people did. They just need to quit lying. This line is not for run of the mill everyday fan. This is for the fan with money. Unlike BabyPhat, they need to know that the public is not some dummy you can feed everything. She needs to tell her fans, her younger fans, her teen fans that if they need affordable clothing, they need to check BabyPhat, AppleBottoms or J-Lo. Otherwise, just say it’s an upscale line. Shoot, I want to know who’s wearing this line anyway? If you are wearing this line, let a sista know. I didn’t say OWN A PIECE, I say wearing the line!! Inquiring minds wanna know.

My last comment: When is Solange gonna get equal time with her parents. I would love to know how she really feels about her parents putting all their efforts into one sister and the other sister gets no play. Maybe that’s why she felt she needed a baby so young. She’s got something that B doesn’t have. Can the sister get some equal time? Has anyone ever seen Tina or Matt on an interview with Solange? I mean, other than the Wal-mart commercial?

Whoops, sorry, I lied >. Daniel Boone wore fur. Man could have never withstood the elements without fur, especially when they came to this country from across the pond. But trust me, fur wasn’t a problem when only WHITE MEN with their cheating asses would buy them for their wives and/or mistresses. Remember Hollywood in its heyday? Everyone wore fur. Shoot, even little black women used to wear fur stoles to church. As soon as women started working and started buying things for themselves that only a man used to be able to provide — like furs — then wearing fur became an issue. However, they still don’t have a problem exploiting African people to get at the diamonds for the bling.

With as much money as their clothes cost she should have let me called in and asked a question,you can’t play when people are paying that kind of money. I dont know Tina got this mental thing going on and Bee she is just as lost half the time and WHY is Tina acting like she only have one DAUGHTER? I dont think it was fair not to include the other daughter but I think (my opinion) that the clothes are ugly as hell looks like something Dolly Parton (country singer)would wear or someone thats 50 yoa

I think, with the amount of time and work that was put into the line, it’s fair to ask for that amount of money. You can’t compare jlo’s stuff to HOD. As for the size thing, you can’t blame her for the sizes. Sure she said she would make sizes for the full figured woman, but how full figured are the women who are complaining? It was Tina’s right to not answer that question, and although the question wasn’t as negative as she made it seem, Bey and Tina thought the interview was to promote their line. They probably weren’t expecting to be attacked with complaints of store owners. You think they don’t know? If mama got upset it’s probly cuz she knows people are complaining. Her restarting her speech made her seemed rehearsed though. I’m a perfectionist too, so I can understand why she did it.
Just cut them some slack. All the work they have to do, all the crap people give them day in day out. If you were under those circumstances, interviews left and right while trying to look like nothing’s wrong, you would snap under pressure as well.

Tina is a plus size woman herself, she can’t wear one damn thing they make. Didn’t Tina look evil with that lil mole thing on her chin…i bet it had a lil hair coming out of it too.

That interview just proves how empty they both are. Furthermore, that was a legitimate question, and it should have been answered appropriately.
One of my friends tried on a pair of HOD jeans and it did not fit at all! And she only wears a size 8!
She had to try on a pair two sizes bigger and they still did not fit right!
The reporter was just doing her job, and it looks like Princess Bey and Queen Tina could not handle the pressure. Beyonce just sat there looking as dumb as a doorknob!

I agree with #7.
To respond in that way was very wrong.
I mean that’s a real issue.
Mama Knowles could’ve said, “Oh well, we had no idea that was an issue, we apologize, and that will definitely be taken care of.”
I mean, your clothing line is a product. If people have an issue with it, you should address it. To just not answer it makes it seem like you don’t care, or that there is something wrong going on that you want to cover up.
But, to just say, “Why would ask us that?”
Come on now. That’s not good business.

They act like no one is suppose to ask them any negative questions b/c they are too perfect. Bitch get over yourself and your family, you mess up just like everyone else and someone needs to knock all of them off of their high horse. If the clothes do not fit right then just say we are working on it or lie and say we were not aware of this but we will check on it.

I have read several messages from people on here saying the same thing. The clothes are not sized properly and even women who wear a size 8 can’t fit the jeans. I think Tina should thank the reporter for bringing that to her attention.
She seems like the kind of person who can’t take bad news, so this problem may have been noticed before, but her “yes men” where affraid to tell her.
In 2 years and can see Beyonce writing a “Mommy Dearest” type book.

I agree with #189. Their prices are ridiculous. The shirts are like $150, and so are the jeans, purses, and shoes. They can Kiss my PHAT ASS! Who can afford that? Baby Phat, Polo, and Tommy Hillfiger wasnt that expensive.

Interestingly enough, Beyonce and her mother were interviewed by the consumer reporter. If you watch TV news, consumer reporters almost exclusively report on scams and consumer problems. Usually for a 30 second soundbite, a general assignment reporter will report on something like a celebrity store opening. It looked to me like the reporter’s intent was to investigate complaints about sizing issues on some HOD clothes. The question wasn’t about sizes available, it was a question about clothing not fitting properly in the sizes already available.
Although Beyonce is a black celeb, when has she said this is a line for just black folks? Not everyone makes their clothing in plus sizes, though many of the “urban labels” do. Sean, the female line of Sean John does not. Diddy sold his line in upscale stores like Neiman Marcus, used white models and high price points and nobody paid it any mind. If you go to any department store, plus sizes are in a separate area altogether. Most brands catering to the young, hip audience that HOD does have the same size runs. Many lines are high-priced and jeans in particular outside of juniors are now going for upwards of $200. Even Lane Bryant Seven jeans are over $70. Most of the urban brands are “affordable” I guess if you think $70 jeans and $50 shirts are affordable for the teenagers that they appeal to. For grown women, HOD price points are not out of line with what similar non-urban brands offer in stores in women’s sizes.
Tina could have handled the question better, but it looks like they were expecting to do a generic publicity interview and got something else. Most artists, especially of Beyonce’s stature, are told precisely what the interview is going to be about beforehand. That’s why Tina looked back, probably at the publicist, like WTF? I guarantee you, the journalist had and agenda here. Tina and Matthew were running businesses before they had Beyonce. If that was Tina’s hair salon on the line, she might have learned to respond just that way to keep her business running.
As far as Beyonce, I’m sure at 25 she will eventually have her “Control” moment or just retire. She may like her family and friends shielding her from shit. Otherwise she’d have to deal with all of the negative energy instead of focusing on her craft. But also what do you expect? This is a girl who has been trained from a young age, who came through the pageant system and is trying to handle a huge career as well as live her life. This kind of scrutiny and negativity is what drove Lauryn Hill out of the business. On the Today show, when asked about her response to the Superbowl thing Janet said “I’m not a fighter.” Remember, she was the youngest child in a show business family. She added “We weren’t raised that way.” Neither Janet and Beyonce grew up with the typical stresses and struggle of the girls in the hood that make up their fan base. So why would they be fighters? They’ve been in show business damn near since they could walk. There is some ill energy around B, not because of her own actions it appears, but because of the jealousy and insecurity of those who watch and critique her every move. It seems that having restraint, class, success and not falling into the usual ghetto patterns is really hard for some folks to take. Why is it that this chick’s every move is scrutinized so throughly? Some of us need to look more closely at our own lives and pay attention to that.

#9, I totally agree with you! Beyonce is grown, but her mom speaks up for her all the time. Damn, I thought she had a back bone. You can kindly address a question without getting uptight about it, but B doesn’t even do that. Her mom needs an attitude make over before nobody wants to interview them anymore. If that happens, then B’s career would be over, because the media is needed in her type of career. They got to do something and fast!

(you seen MOMMA Knowles pulling down that tight black hooker looking dress?) LOL
& WHAT DOES SHE MEAN “WHY DID THEY BRING THAT UP” ? THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO BRING UP THAT QUESTION. PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS UP WITH THE “SIZING”. You would think PLUS & average sized women putting together a clothing line, would make clothing that FITS PLUS SIZED & AVERAGE SIZED WOMEN. Not STICK FIGURED WOMEN.
That MOMMA KNOWLES is a MEAN OLD WITCH! straight up & down. & BEYONCE—- GROW UP! The PUPPET routine is getting tired as hell!

NOT “STICK FIGURES” !!

quick question
Saturday, September 30, 2006 /
# mr. quite frankly said:
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.
——————————–
First off, what do you consider obese? Some African American women have to wear larger sizes, because they have hips, things, and butt, not because they are fat, and even beyonce does that sweetheart. And you must not have seen Beyonce before she lost weight, because I doubt that she would even be able to wear these clothes. Maybe thats why you never saw her wear Dereon BEFORE she lost weight. But I do agree with you that people make mistakes, and I do agree that some people arent as hard on other artists who arent articulate as well. But you have to be real, they said that this line was going to be for “curvy women as well, they even told Oprah she could be able to wear these clothes. Now if the sizes are running small, I seriously doubt that. Not to mention how expensive the items are. $150 for a pair of jeans? $138 for a shirt? Get out of here, who can afford that??

Beyonce’ is slow. The ONLY thing she ever says in interviews is.. “Its CRAZY” and.. ‘I feel so BLESSED” in every other sentence.

“I watched the video and I don’t understand what the big deal is. I don’t think that beyonce should talk about HOD at all, because I really don’t even view it as her clothing line. beyonce is a model. LOL. that line, you can tell, is tina’s baby because she’s the only one that ever really talks about it - you can tell that she’s invested a lot of time and energy into that clothing line.
I don’t blame tina for not wanting to discuss that in the interview, either. *shrug* I don’t really see what beyonce has to do with any of this at all. LOL.”
To Brian, I have to disagree. She models AND represents this line. This line is generations of her family, so she is apart of this just as much as her mother is. They’ve shared that they BOTH work on the designs and the “couture.kick.soul.” phrase or whatever is broken down to her mother=couture, Beyonce=the kick, and her grandmother=the soul. They shared this on Oprah a while ago and recently on Tyra. So my point here….as much as you state otherwise, Beyonce’ has everything to do with this line.
And no, this really isn’t a big deal because I didn’t see the question as negative. How will they know their flaws if no one ever tells you or mentions it. That’s part business. I would’ve actually appreciated someone bringing light to that (a flaw) so that I could improve my product/line/whatever for the people. Some people should just think before they speak and not be on the offensive all the time.

(prices,sizes,looks)I make good money but I’m not paying a $150 for a ugly ass shirt. That is on Tina because WHY? her name is on the shit and if beyonce should not have been talking then maybe she should not have said anything better just not come!!!

I went to purchase some of the clothing line when they first came out trying to support B and buy clothes that are made for cury women. I normally where about a size 7 . My waist is 28.5 inches and hips about 43 inches. I Could not fit any of the pants even the ones that strech. I was so dissapointed. I have my resevation about the line even with the re-launch, it seems that the price got jacked up by about 60 bucks or so, which is no big deal cause 7 for all man kinds cost about 150 or so. I looked on the website and the pants go up to a size 34. I will go buy her pants if they fit, of course B’s pants are going to fit, her momma made them for her .

Sometimes, the more pricey clothes are cut different; I DO think, however, that the build and shape of most women of color are not necessarily plus sized, but we are proportioned differently in the hips and backside areas, and that pushes up up at least a half a size, if not an entire one.
We usually come in sizes 5 to 16, and she should at least provide in that range.
As for her verbiage, I like Beyonce okay; I am not a zealot, but she’s doing her thing. But I do think she is more of a performer than a public speaker. And everyone can’t excel in everything, nor should we respect them to; however, I do think she is more passive and shy than her vixen persona, and that parlays into the way she reacts with the media as well. If she is not as well spoken as she could be, she could probably take a few toastmaster clases and be done with it.
As for her mother; she’s just being a mom. Could it have been handled more appropriately? Sure. But what uncomfortable situation couldn’t be handled differently?
They sell these at Macy’s? I haven’t even seen the wardrobe? Has anybody? what do you think of them?

#30…Curvy don’t mean plus sizes. Beyonce is not a plus size girl but she is curvy. I am 5′ 4” and weigh 123lbs and have a coke bottle figure

If you don’t want people to critize your work, don’t get famous and don’t go on TV surrounded by journalists during a PRESS CONFERENCE. If you think the journalist asked the question to make Tina feel bad, you don’t know what a press sonference is. It’s not a stupid talk show where the host pretends he/she likes you because you are famous. It’s information, not advertisment. Something the Knowles did not know; not because your famous that verybody is goinf to close your eyes on your mistakes.
As for Beyonce, I bet she did not do much in the creating process of the clothing line but if she insists to be given credit, she has to be held responsible when things go wrong too.
I don’t think Beyonce was confortable with the way her mum reacted. I think if she was slick enough she could have said something smart but I don’t think she had anything to respond to that unexpected question ans she did not want to cut off her mum.
I bet Tina regretted this too.

how her mother could resolve the issues of clothing sizes for thick women.

I believe that Tina answered the question instead of beating around the bush. It’s apparent that they made this clothing line for upscale people who have tons of $$$$…To me, Beyonce doesn’t do good in interviews. She not sharp at all with answering questions and when asked a question, she responds as if she’s not all that bright. I just think they’re trying to do too much and make alot of $$$$ real fast without carefully checking out the quality of the product. They should’ve apologized for the wardrobe malfunction…lol…and told them they would do fix the product and do anything to keep the customer satisfied…Oh well, not everybody thinks before they speak.

I think Tina has a right not to answer a particular question. Who knows?.. It may have been a few defects that were isolated incidents. Or problems with the manufacturers getting the sizes correct. Or big fat bitches gettin mad cause they cant fit into a size six. Who knows!? But to past judgement on these two…? Wake the fuck up. All Mama is guilty of is not having a publicist to show her how to handle situations like this or how to speak a lil more professionaly when confronted with obvios “hit job” questions.

And another thing…99.9% of interviews are edited. There are a crap load of outtakes of these things for every type of interview you can imagine. Whoever thinks all the other interviews they have seen, that went off without a hitch, is the way they were recorded(without any mistakes) is an idiot. point blank.

Well i’ve read most of allu’s comment and there’s something that all u seem to have forgotten: B is a very shy person!just watch interviews with Destiny’s child for example everyone might talk but her! When she’s alone she does the best she can because she has to, but when there’s anyone else with her she just tryna hide that’s why she created Sasha the girl on stage that’s never B herself!!!
