I have to say that I disagree that House of Dereon should not be held responsible IF they are not sizing ALL customers (#3). From what Beyonce has been tellin, this line of clothing can be described as when the “sidewalk meets the catwalk”. That sounds like a lot of sizes to me. On any given day, you’ll probably meet more 12s than 4s on the sidewalk. And if there is a customer service issue, then that’s something the Knowles have to deal with, after all, this is their family business. Mama Mama Knowles was a designer. It would be an extreme DISservice if they didn’t try to fit the wide range of sizes out there. Mama Knowles lost weight, but she’s still thick! I bet she rocks some of that Dereon. My 50 Cents!

That was the most awful interview i have ever seen! tina seems very ignorant. she should have used that chance to address the problem that some of the stores are having with their line. i am a fan of Bey and her music but after that interview and actually going to the website to view their clothing, i know that i would never buy something from them. i probably wouldnt wear it if is was free, because from what i saw, they wouldnt fit! beyonce should know better than to have skinny-minny chicks modeling some clothes that are meant to include all of us. there are no thick chicks, no booty, no hips, on itty-bitty b****es. its ridiculous! i wouldnt dare try to fit my booty in those clothes!

Baby Phat is better! they have black models with booty! Real chicks!

I just watched the video. First off, the Knowles family is a lying family. Their imagae is very important to them. For all ya’ll waiting on Bee to show her true colors..Good Luck! If we found out who she really is she would go bankrupt. Just look any thing that is a “behind-the-scene” taping of her..She’s a controlling Bitch just like her moma. They have both forgotten that they are just fat women on a diet. One burger away from a size 18. Tina sat her phat azz on Oprah and said that clothing line didn’t make clothes bigger than a 16 and she was clearly larger than that. But appeared on Tyra Banks looking anorexic. Let that girl and her mother do what they don’t. If you don’t like it don’t invest in it. One day they will wake up.

Correction: “image” and Tina stated that line doesn’t go any bigger that a 14.

I am a stunning black woman, a Stock Broker, and an Investment Guidance Counselor. In addition, I teach young Black men and women how to invest their money. It makes me sick to my stomach to see a black woman bow down like that. She’s like “he he let’s put some make-up on and a weave and bake some cookies for the boys…he he he he” I’ll give B a run for her money–all of it! LaToyia

I feel yall are makin it more complicated than it is.

Beyonce is there because the whole clothing line exists to celebrate three generations of a love of fashion and design. (Hence the motto, couture, kick soul) Three generations obviously including Beyonce, i agree she obviously is helping the line massively because of her fame but thats not the only reason she is there.
The reason she is seen as fake is because she is protecting herself from the cruelty of the press that have ruined the careers and lives of so many talented stars before her. She does this by holding back. The way she is professionally is no doubt different to what she’s like in private, just like the way everyone else is at they job-they different when they round friends and family.
I do agree that it is quite expensive and restricted to certain sizes but that may all be for a reason.
Beyonce is beautiful, talented, elegant, classy, humble and one of the few women who are using their position to empower women in a positive way.
show some love!!!!

mama knowles does have a bit of an unecesarry attitude goin on in the interview though i hav to say!

Yall need to stop hating! The girl is from Texas. That’s why she’s so country! You don’t expect new yorkers to lose their accents so don’t expect ALL the southerners to lose their country! I think Tina was just being protective of her baby and her clothing line.My momma woulda done the same thing times two!

Beyonce sounds sooo slow when she talks I am convinced dhe is a dingbat.The moms looks like a witch and I can’t stand her.

Now that lady was just bein dirty….she aint need to say all of that, especially not on air. just bein spiteful

and it sounded like she was sayin the clothes were not fitting certain people…hmmm, well sound like a personal problem for those who couldn’t get in the clothes! weight issues maybe??

I simply believe that black women should be taking movie roles that do not just show our big butts. If you have something to say about them then make some suggestions. I truly believe in supporting African-American women in their career endeavors. I purposely purchase products from the House of Dereon to support African-American business. I am also in the process of seeking out African-American investment firms to manage my hard-earned cash. I think that Gabrielle Union was coooold blooooded when she came out with the UCLA degree. She’s so articulate and intelligent. Angela Bassett is another cold blooded lady. I shock people all day long in my corporate office with how smart I am. That bothers me. I ask: “why are you so surprised?”. They proceed to tell me that all they see is black girls with big booties on music videos. Well, those women are career models/actresses, not prostitutes–many, articulate and well-educated. Come to think of it, one of the only intelligent black women they will allow to speak intelligently in public is on TV from 3PM to 4PM-OPRAH. In addition, It doesn’t help that the media focuses its attention on ONLY a pretty face. If you are black and you use a word that exceeds 5 letters, its “CUT!!” time. Can’t outshine the blonde-haried and blue-eyed! It happens in CORPORATE AMERICA…IT HAPPENS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY TOO!! The men do not want to be challenged by us and the women do not want to be outsmarted by us. This is the New Plantation…The New Racism…Our New Battle has been presented to us. I highly doubt that we will fail.

CORPORATE AMERICA & AMERICAN ENTERTAINMENT: THE NEW SLAVE PLANTATIONS.

think about it.

That family is soooooooooooooooooo fake.
