EX-DESTINY’S CHURN MEMBERS ON E!

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE INTERVIEWS

Ok, so how long ago did the Destiny’s Child breakups happen? Well the media certainly doesn’t give up on digging into it and I guarantee as time progresses, more about the Knowles Clan & Friends will come to the light. That’s just how things work. One of these chicks are going to write a book about it in 30 years but, all of us will be too old to give a rat’s ass.

Former members LeToya Luckett, Latavia Robertson, and Farrah Franklin were featured on E!’s “Blvd Of Broken Dreams” documentary. LeToya is so cute, and she’s my favorite of the booted members with Tavia close behind. LaTavia seems the most scarred out of all three of them.

Much love to letoyaonline for capping the footage.

SMDH (shaking my d@mn Head)….I predict 500 Posts by tomorrow morning. LOL. If even HALF of that sh*t is true, I don’t care what NOBODY says, that’s PHUCKED UP. Just too much SHADY-NESS going around for me. I guess i’ll just say that i’m happy for Latoya and all her success with that album, because that album was OFF the CHAIN. And good luck to everyone else.

Damn, this should have nicknamed this show “WHEN BEYONCE ATTACKS!” haha…. I better be careful, she may get me kicked off this board, haha. Beyonce is really being exposed as a savage, maybe all that ANIMAL HAIR she’s been bonding to her scalp all these years has fucked up her DNA!

BEYONCE: BEASTLY BROAD!

Make sure you go and cop Letoya Lucketts album it is fiyah. I enjoyed the show even though it was very short. I am glad that Letoya got a brand new start still living her dream. Congrats to selling half a million records so far. Don’t forget to request her latest song OBVIOUS on your local radio stations.

Like Chuck D said

“Mathew Knowlea and Beyonce, Thats the root, thats the tree, dont get it twisted, everything else is a branch or a leaf”

LMAo so true and so right,

BUT Somebody gotta make that money and I GUARANTEE If Letoya and Latavia were to be the driving force behind the group…as in lead singers, and managing

We would be saying Destiny’s Child Who?

Beyone knew and Mathew knew what was best for the group

LOL # 5 “When Beyonce Attacks” That’s true. I still think it’s messed up that Beyonce said LeToya had no talent in Vibe that year. She wish she could say that about Jennifer, but instead all she can say is “I’m not jealous, I have 9 GRAMMYS, I mean I would have gained 20 pounds to play Effie!” She wants to Ring the Alarm on everyone but it ain’t going down like that. Somebody need to give her ass whoopin! I’m talking about one big uppercut to bring her big head and lace front back down. Her Mama look like the Joker and her Dad look like Shrek. I guess two ugly people can make a beautiful baby!

I think they made an agreement when the lawsuit first happened that this shit can’t be talked about anymore. L&L sued Matthew and Beyonce a second time when Survivor was released. Isn’t this like the same thing? LeToya just started getting paid again now she may end up broke and living out of that clothing store of her’s. Stupid.

I saw this today and I thought it was kinda funny how Beyawnce said “all the bad apples are finally gone and we have never been better”. She is definitely a character I guess that was Sasha! I crack myself up.

And is just me or did Latavia look like she was sick or smokin dat OOOOWWWEEEEE?

Poor Farrah we are going to put her Sasha,and Beyanwnce in the same adult classes.

They made wanna say “PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS SIT YO MUHTA FUC+++ ASS DOWN”! HA HA HA TO FUNNY.

You know what…i’m going to try to play Devils Advocate over here (which I never thought i’d do when it came to this chick, but now), has it ever occurred to anyone that B****** might be a cool CHICK, and it’s her PARENTS that are possibly CRAZY as HELL? I mean I can appreciate Mr. Knowles drive in that industry, but he just always strikes me as two steps away from CRAZY!! And Tina Knowles always looks like she giving somebody the side eye! Always looks like she about to go get her ROOT BOX and cast a CREOLE curse on somebody over her BABY.
I mean you can’t blame the girl; at this point she’s a D@MN ROBOT! And those are her PARENTS, so of course she’s going along with them. I just think it’s sad that a lot of stuff falls back on HER, because she’s the one in the public eye. Unfortunately sooner or later B****** is going to have to do some damage control and pull a JANET, get some CONTROL and FIRE that Daddy of her’s. Hell Latoya and Latavia knew what was up and you see they were ahead of the game by pulling the plug on MASTER MATHEW! I was watching Oprah’s Oscar special today and JHUDD was on there. Oprah brought up the whole B****** Feud that was supposedly going on between the two, and JHUDD said everything between HER and B****** was cool. And I was screaming at the t.v “YEAH, it’s HER d@mn DADDY that’s the D@MN LUNATIC”!! People always say, “this is a rumor” and “that is a rumor”, but I don’t care what no one says, EVERYTHING can’t be a rumor. There’s just ALWAYS TOO MUCH sh*t going on with that family. Not all those girls left Destiny’s Child JUST BECAUSE.

B******, if your reading this, FIRE the HELL out of your DADDY! SMH

They’ll keep talking about it forever because that is part of the story of Destiny’s Child. People talk about THE SUPREMES to THIS DAY. Matthew is the problem, always has been and always will be.

Why do you think Beyonce recorded her second album without her father’s permission? That was her first attempt to distance herself from her dad.

Beyonce if you read this, FIRE him.

I did find out something i didn’t know before. Mr. Knowles was DEAD wrong for replacing Latavia when the girl was in the DAMN Hospital, I bet he wouldn’t let that shit happen to his own daughter, so why would he treat her like that….talking about now he did so much for them. That was really foul, and it was just the beginning of the end for those two.

I can agree and say sumtin is definitely wrong with the knowles family.

When PETA ambushed Bee she didnt say nothin oh but her mama did I would not like to work around her. She looks like she is always plotting something.

And we all knew Matthew was crazy when he was going around saying he was JHUD’S manager when he wasnt.

I do kinda agree with 15 but come on we have all witnessed Bee come off bitchy and a little out of touch. She may not be behind everything but she definitely had a role to play in it as well as her parents.

And doesnt seem rather odd that Solange is never really around them? And she is always off doing her own thing????

Quote from Beyonce: “ALL THE BAD SEEDS ARE NOW GONE FROM THE GROUP AND WE’VE FINALLY GOT THE RIGHT RECIPE FOR DESTINY’S CHILD”.

I wonder if she would look at herself making that fucked up statement and regret saying that, especially if LaToya said that she and LaTavia didn’t have a problem with Beyonce and Kelly - the problem was with management.

I am happy for Letoya and all of her success after she was booted from DC. I think the girls have a right to say what happened. Who are we to judge for real. We don’t know what happened behind closed doors. People talk about groups that breakup all the time so what makes this any different. As long as they never give up on their dreams, anything is possible. Letoya did it and I am sure tavia and farrah will do the same at whatever it is they want to do. They might not be as big as beyonce but you can’t say they not trying to make it. Who knows what the future holds for them.

Damn…. I didn’t know this is how it all went down when those two other ladies disappeared.

This Matthew guy sounds ruthless…maybe Jamie Fox’s role on Dreamgirls should have been based on him, lol.

I think it’s good though that this came out. There are many other aspiring singers who need to learn from such experiences.

Wednesday, January 31, 2007 /

Though Matthew sacrificed a lot for the group, what he did to those girls( who he claimed earlier on in their careers to be his daughters) was wrong. Please, don’t put Beyonce in this, this is between management and the ex group members. I think LeToya handled everything in a classy way, especially to put Beyonce clothing line in her store, way before she even had an album. In conclusion, am I the only to notice that LaTavia had her nose contoured.

I’m sure this post will garner a response that will be heard by both Matthew, the label and the remaining memebers of DC.

I find it good that their[LeToya, Tavia, Farrah] story is finally being told because interviews after the breakup had the world assuming that the other 3 girls were the “bad seeds”. Furthermore, I find it amazing how Bey, Kelly and Moma Knowles can know that Matthew was wrong for what he did and still support that decision…are they that afraid of him? It’s true, to have a successful business one must run a tight ship, but kicking someone out a group that they started and then going to the media like they were just plain awful is horrible…and it’s crazy that they continue to say “The Lord this and God that” when they know they’ve done wrong.

I’ve typed all of this to say: Matthew, Tina, Beyonce and Kelly, you’re all gonna BURN IN HELL! This situation shows that MONEY IS TRULY THE ROOT TO ALL EVIL…and God said the last will be first and the first last…Karma is a hellava thing to deal with…can’t wait to see your demise!

Well I remain a true Beyonce fan. Thats my girl and YES no one can touch her right now…period. I love LeToya too, Farrah and Tavia are washed up and will never make an album. If they do, who is gonna take it seriously, esp with all the negative press those 2 are giving. Toya is more positive if u notice. Anyhoo yall kill me hatin on Beyonce. She is on top, therefore over exposed and yeah u may be tired of her pics and her recent crazy poses but its still my girl!!!

@ #22:

The REASON why Solange is doing her own thing is exactly that: She’s living for Solange & her son…not her moms, dad, and definately NOT BEE.

I mean, count how many interviews that Bee has said “I want to be more like my sister, she is more outspoken than me. She’s free-spirited.” Ummm Bee, take a cue from Janet and cut the umbilical cord and FOR REAL do your own thing.

Look at Kelly: She is FINALLY getting the right exposure that she rightfully deserves & why? Because SHE’S putting herself out there, and most likely tired of Matthew holding her back (I can see her cutting Matthew loose, but then again, don’t bite the hand that feeds you)…I mean, DC was just a spring-board for Beyonce anyways.

I think because of that comment is why she don’t really speak on certain issues now. It was very tacky of her to say that. That’s why that ass got sued and they still had to pay latoya and latavia

Well I was a fan of the old Destiny’s child not saying I didn’t like the new one but the Old Destiny’s child have this style that fit them and everything they said has been said for years, but that part about La’tavia being sick was in the sister 2 sister when they talk about how Matthew did them, which I can believe I mean people been saying that Matthew is a Asshole for years, I doubt very seriously that some rumour which half of Beyonce fans are going to try to say. Beyonce have a beautiful voice I will agree on that but she will died down rather fans want to believe it or not nobody can stay in the game for that long if that the case then all the great legend should come back out with a album and it should hit the chart. New and young people are coming in the game. But I do know one thing Karma is a bitch and when she hits, she hits hard. If beyonce and her father did all of that shit to those girls it will come back on them. I’m fan of Le’toya and beyonce but I’ma be a real fan instead of being one of those fans who feel their artist could do no wrong when I know better shit their human

P.S. if I’m consider a hater for this comment then what I said hit hard

Originally, I was a fan of Destiny’s Child back in the day, when it was 1998-2000. However, when they kicked LeToya and LaTavia out of the group, I stopped liking them. IMO, Michelle was the weak link and the group has never been the same. Also, for all of us who were fans of Destiny’s Child, before Michelle, knew the story about LeToya, LaTavia, and Farrah it is not a new one at all. This story was out way back in 2000 when all three young ladies were kicked out of the group.
Also, I think it’s a shame how on VH1’s Driven show about Beyonce, how they made LeToya, LaTavia, and Farrah look like the bad people. It’s a shame that four years later, the mainstream public is finally getting the real story about what happened.
However, I have to say this. If Matthew Knowles knew that Beyonce was going to be the star, how come he didn’t just promote her as a solo artist back when she was a teenager? That would have been so much better instead of wasting the time of Kelly, Farrah, LeToya and LaTavia.
Also, I have to give it to LeToya. She has a successful album which is very hot by the way and she seems like a cool person. I wish her all of the best in life.

I love how they don’t talk about Kelly’s reaction. Isn’t she apart of the group? It’s always about Ms. Beyonce. I guess Chuck D is right. Bee and her father are the root and the tree everything else is just branches and leaves.

Wednesday, January 31, 2007 /

If you notice their albums went downhill after Writings On The Wall so they should’ve kept LaTavia and LeToya cause they obviously brought some lyricism to the group instead of “Bootylicious” and “Soldier.”

You know what, if my friends and I had started a dance/singing group and were together 95% of the time, our families broke bread together at every single holiday, we as a group had overcome many obstacles that were in our way to finally finding some success and my father had fired two of the girls, I would’ve still continued the friendship, why throw away all those years over something that you as a member of the group had no control of?

I have heard Bey, Kells, Toya, and Lativa all say how they lost their best friends, how they were really like sisters, if that was true then why not a heads up? Why not call and let them know what’s going down? We spend all this time together, you knew what was going down and you didn’t have the integrity to even tell me before it hit the media first? I honestly think that would’ve hurt me more than being replaced. Matthew had an idea where this was going from jump because if he hadn’t, it wouldn’t have been a problem for them to find their own business managers.

I remember hearing things like:

Farrah being forces to tan so that B was the only light skin girl in the group

That B was the only one allowed to have hair like hers so she could stand out more

That Michelle wasn’t allowed to use her reall name because it was too ethnic ( I think her name is Tenetra) While B got to keep her name cause it was different. I actully remember Lala making a comment about it on MTV and telling Michelle she should use her real name and that it was pretty.

It was a lot of stuff being said back then. I think that people will really see what’s going on sooner or later. The only person I really feel sorry for is Kelly. She does have a nice voice and I’ve been told by several people who have seen DC3 up close that Kelly is the prettiest. Matthew keeps giving her BS producers to work with etc. She could be a huge star if she would stop following B. I think she really believes that if she is a good friend and supports B that good things will come to her. She needs to do her own thing and get better management. I know she real salty since LaToya had a #1 Album. She has access to tons of resources in the industry, there is no reason why she can’t put out a killa album.

Come on now, we all know how it feels to be rejected by people that are supposed to care about you.

Imagine if you are a singer and with a popular group and then someone tells you that your career is over and hands you a pink slip at 17 yo!

Even if you were “difficult”, still you’re a freakin’ teenager, what did Mr. Knowles expect. They never got a chance to vent except in news articles that nobody reads.

They’ll get past it, everybody does…

I’m so over this shit. Letoya you looked real dumb and desperate on that show you have an album and single out PROMOTE it, you are lazy as hell and I don’t think you have done nothing since the MJB tour. Stop talking about that old 7 year shit that happened when you were a teenager and grow the fuck up. POINT BLANK!!! Are you mad that Bey’s album is still in the TOP 10 after almost 5 months and your’s isn’t even on the charts? It’s something called HARD WORK!!! Now I see why Latavia and Farrah were on b/c they aint doing shit they trying to get some money but Letoya you did not belong on their. You are loooking real pathetic righ now.

Wednesday, January 31, 2007 /

@49 I agree w/ u 100%. Kelly will never be as succesful as Latoya if she continues to deal w/ Matthew, and that’s a d*** shame!!

I watched the special and I was shocked when Latoya said there were days when she couldn’t pay her cell phone bill and they were on their European tour. That’s crazy.

I don’t fault Beyonce for any of this, however, If they were so close as they claimed to be it seems like she would’ve been a bit more receptive to their claims instead of saying “we got all of the bad seeds out of the group…” She did loose a lot of respect from me and I am sure from others for the whole situation. But respect has nothing to do w/talent and I still love her music.

I knew we would finally get the truth. I found the show interesting. I know there’s truth in it because they have had time to settle down and calm their emotions and just speak the truth. Everybody knows that Matthew is shady but who isn’t in that industry? It was fucked up and gangsta at the same time that he MADE them sign management deals before they could ink the record deal. He’s a genius!

Yeah, old school Destiny’s Child fans know this story, nothing really new here. It does confirm that their side of the story is the more factual one, though.

Joe Jackso–I mean, Matthew Knowles can deny it all he wants, but Letoya and Letavia and Farrah’s stories match up, and other industry people who would know the truth are confirming it. And if even only HALF of what they say is true, Matthew Knowles is still a dirty dog and he should be ashamed of himself. He’s still shady and getting sued left and right to this day. One day he’s going to be held accountable for his actions, so if I were him I’d start making amends and stop pretending like I’ve been taking the moral highroad this whole time.

Then again, the hypocrisy of that whole family bothers me. You’ve got Tina’s crazy ass not paying the people who make her crappy-ass clothing line House of Da-RAYON (She is literally the joke of the fashion world and always has been), and getting into fights with anyone who even BLINKS at Beyonce the wrong way. You’ve got Matthew Knowles trying to cheat everyone out of everything. And then you’ve got Beyonce trying to get a song credit on everyone else’s shit, while everyone talks about how godly and humble she is when she’s dancing in an ass-skirt and bikini top with a wig that’s leaving three horses out there freezing to death. The only seemingly sane one is Solange.

Ok, I’m done hatin’.

I'm a regular Loop visitor... but I won't attach my name to this post

Wednesday, January 31, 2007 /

I didn’t get to see the show, but trust me when I tell you that there is a lot more that the girls can’t say that went on with this group. Matthew Knowles is DEFINITELY a shrewd businessman and he certainly sacrificed a lot by leaving his job and nearly losing his family as a result.(Tina had dumped his ass and had a new man until the girls started getting big and then she took him back) the problem is, the more he gave up, the more the group became HIS life and in that, the girls became “his”… he was determined to make Beyonce’ a star and if that meant the other girls were going to be pawns in his game to do that… then that’s the way it was/is going to be.

People don’t realize it, but Letoya and the other girls had been thrown out of the group SEVERAL times - but then, by then, they weren’t needed because if you listen to the first 3 Destiny’s Child cd’s all you heard was Beyonce - Tavia and Toya would show up and tracks would be completely FINISHED and they would be clueless so basically when they got on stage they were background singers singing words to songs that they didn’t have anything to do with.

The way their contracts were structured, Tavia and Toya were being paid as background singers and Beyonce got the bulk of the money while Kelly got a tinge more than the other girls - why did Kelly get more? Because Kelly’s mother was a maid in the city of Houston and she was living with her mother at the home of one of the rich families her mother cleaned for and when she lost her job, Kelly was spending a lot of time with Matthew and Tina to keep her from being house to house. Eventually, her mom was headed back to Atlanta and Matthew and Tina asked if they could keep her in Houston with them, her mother gave up custody and the rest is history.

The reason Matthew didn’t want Letoya in the group is because he was paying Tina, Solange and many of their friends and relatives (Solange) more than he was paying Tavia and Toya, Letoya’s mother is a CPA (Accountant) and it seemed that everytime she asked to see the books to do an audit, Matthew found a reason to kick them out and usually, when that happend, there were so many meetings and so much ruckus to get them BACK in the group, that the original “audit” request was forgotten because there was so much relief just to have them back in the group.

The final straw came when that new contract came and the girls were about to make it big and Matthew asked Letoya’s mom and Latavia’s mom to give him power of attorney over the girls so that he could sign contracts, etc on the girls behalf, Letoya’s mom was like HELL no! and suggested that Tavia’s mother do the same… next thing you know, here comes Farrah and Michelle.

Now, what most people don’t know is that, although Kelly comes across as the sweet one… SHE was the biggest problem in the group, everytime there was drama between the girls, usually Kelly was behind it.

Although I dont’ like how Matthew did things, he IS the reason for their success and you can’t blame Beyonce’ for taking his side during all of that drama, that was her daddy, he’s her hero and how CAN you convince a 17 year old that her daddy is not a good person? He was GREAT in HER eyes… so people BLAME Beyonce, but I agree with a lot of the posters above - this shit is about her parents.

F*%^ Beyonce and Matthew. You had to be real retarded back then if you thought that the Knowles weren’t D’boing that whole DC situation. She knew daddy was in full control and that she was going to get her way regardless. And to say ” the bad seeds are finally out of Destiny’s Child”. Dumbass.

The Knowles are just the new age Jacksons.

B’s fakeness is slowly but surely coming out. She trying so hard to keep that innocent look, but evetually that evil, backstabbing bull will emerge.

Guess that blonde dye does have side effects.

if beyonce was a true friend to those two, she could have stood up for them. all of that could have been squashed.

I’m with #15 Janee! I really want to give Bey the benefit of the doubt. I believe she might be cool but her parents are POWER hungy and are in control. If Bey couldn’t stand up to PETA, she probably didbn’t have much to do with the decision to dismiss, remove, drop, fire, replace, or whatever they did to Letoya, LaTavia and the other one! (Hell, she wasn’t there 5 mins so she don’t count!) LOL! (I’m mean, I know!) Moving on………….

Yea, there was a non-disclosure clause in the settlement but I’m sure they sought counsel prior to the interview. Or, at least I HOPE they did!

Boy, I tell ya, the more folx want Bey to be gone, she ain’t going anywhere no time soon!

When was this break up? 7 years ago right? It’s time to get over it.

Have any of you asked yourselves why this is just now coming out? Hello! It’s because they need publicity. Letoya knows that her hype is gone and her last two singles have flopped. She’s trying to get her name back out there. What better way than to use Beyonce? It worked for her this summer. She had everybody talking about how she was gonna shut Beyonce down. Please! No comment on Latavia. And Farrah needs to sit her behind down saying she didn’t know what was going on. How many ways can you interpret the word “audition?” She knew she was trying to be a member.

This segment is absolutely ridiculous and they look very bitter. Meanwhile, Beyonce and Matthew both are somewhere enjoying their success not giving a d**n.

Dayumm Justlistenpleez, “her last two singles flopped”… “Torn” reached number 2 on the billboard charts and “She Don’t” reached number 17… that’s better than many veteran cd’s, if you lookin at the BIG picture - or are you considering “flop” not going to number 1?

TANNA AKA NE-HO

I’m a Beyonce fan(she has a great voice and she’s a hell of a performer but I don’t buy into her public persona of this perfect angel) but I’m far from a stan. A stan will brush all this shit off as rumors or try to pretend it shouldn’t matter. Truthfully, I agree with 58. There is shade surrounding the whole Knowles family. Tina admitted she made Michelle and Farrah tan. She claims it was because they were replacing 2 darker girls but I’m sure it had more to do with making sure Beyonce stood out more. Beyonce and Kelly used to talk all kinds of shit about Letoya and Latavia in interview. When the backlash started catching up with them, PR stepped in and told them not so say shit. And that’s why to this day Beyonce is practically a robot in interviews. Can’t take the chance of saying anything that will rub the stans the wrong way, as if that’s possible.

I’m glad at least Letoya found some success after the drama. Kelly needs to get her ass up from under the Knowles is she ever wants a chance at being more than “that girl that used to be in Destiny’s Child.”

And, also, the girls have reconciled, so this is so old. LaTavia seems genuine, like Toya. I felt for them. Farrah knew she couldn’t sing, dance, or do anything in DC, so they kicked her out. (We all knew Farrah was talentless.) 64, LeToya’s hype is not gone, not to me. And Bee really needs to leave Mathew, because he is doing more harm than good. If yall want somebody to blame, blame Daddy Knowles.

wow. letoya sounds like such a genuine person. and so does latavia. i never paid much attention to destiny’s child back then, but hearing them share their stories gives me a sense of their genuineness. they’ll find their way for sure. God’s purpose for them is not limited by association with beyonce or matthew knowles. greater power to them.

@60 that bull has already emerged and her name is SASHA!

Truth be told we can sit here and say that it’s not Beyawnce’s fault I always got a saying “fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me”.

MORAL OF THE STORY IS BEE KNEW WUT THE FUCK IS AND WAS GOING ON BUT SHE DOESNT HAVE THE BALLS,INTELLIGENCE,AND WILLPOWER TO STAND UP TO WUT IS RIGHT!

AT THE END OF THE DAY I THINK YALL FORGET THAT BEE IS A GROWN ASS WOMAN! AND ALL THE GROWN ASS WOMEN I KNOW SPEAK UP!

YOU CAN NOT BE IN THE DARK ALL OF THE TIME YOU JUST CANT GOD WILL SHOW AND THEN IT’S TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH IT.

ALL IMA SAY IS KARMA INDEED IS NOTHIN TO PLAY WITH, AND ITS JUST A SHAME B/C THEIR TIME IS COMING AND I WANT TO SEE ALL OF OUR PEOPLE SUCCEDD BUT THEY ARE NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.SORRY.

I have to agree with JANEE and say that it’s Bey’s PARENTS and not her that causes so much drama. Bey seems like a sweet person, but Matthew and Tina…that’s another story. And I feel sorry for her, because she doesn’t have enough guts to tell her parents to STFU. I don’t think anybody has. I just wish Bey would grow a damn backbone and stand up for herself sometimes.

But anyways, I saw the episode and nothing really surprised me. Best of luck to all the DC rejects.

“Then again, the hypocrisy of that whole family bothers me. You’ve got Tina’s crazy ass not paying the people who make her crappy-ass clothing line House of Da-RAYON (She is literally the joke of the fashion world and always has been), and getting into fights with anyone who even BLINKS at Beyonce the wrong way. You’ve got Matthew Knowles trying to cheat everyone out of everything. And then you’ve got Beyonce trying to get a song credit on everyone else’s shit, while everyone talks about how godly and humble she is when she’s dancing in an ass-skirt and bikini top with a wig that’s leaving three horses out there freezing to death. The only seemingly sane one is Solange.”

Oh, how true to my ears. I totally agree esp. when Farrah talked about doing things you shouldn’t have to do…selling your soul.

I’m not taking B to morality court but if she came out to sing a song and was butt-naked, she has justified it some kinda way.. B is all about being successful no matter how hypocritical or conniving (in a nice way, of course) she has to be. It’s partialy her dad and the other half is her.

REMEMBER: The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

Also, Kelly always agrees with B and her dad and doesn’t comment at all because she has a fierce loyalty to them. She was taken in by the family and whatever they say goes. Honestly and simply, she trusts the heck out of Matt. If on a clear, beautiful summer day, Matt told Kelly, “the sky is falling so take cover”, she’d be the first to jump in some bomb shelter underground!

The two that have the most “behind the scenes info” on the Knowles are Kelly and Michelle and neither will EVER talk.

Finally, Matt may be ruthless and all about keeping B’s star shining, but DON”T FORGET she wants that too. She wants it all. That’s cool but not at the expense of selling your soul.

Anyway, that’s her dad. I’m sure whichever way she felt about her “sisters”, she lives by that “blood is thicker than water” saying PLUS she craves fame.
