Rachel Roy has spoken out once again.
The fashion designer is prominently in the news these days, not due to any fashion she has recently designed, but due to an admission she appears to have made.
On Saturday night, Beyonce starred in an HBO special titled “Lemonade.”
It served as an hour-long promotion/visual album for her new record, which goes by the same name.
And multiple tracks on “Lemonade” contain lyrics that imply Jay Z cheated on her with a woman Beyonce dubs “Becky.”
How else should we interpret such lyrics as the following, from the track Hold Up:
Something don’t feel right because it ain’t right, especially coming up after midnight/I smell your secrets and I’m not too perfect to ever feel this worthless.
How did it come down to this, going through your call list?/ I don’t wanna lose my pride but I’ma f**k me up a bitch.
Just a few hours after Beyonce unveiled all this new music to the world, Rachel Roy jumped on Instagram (below) and made a reference to one of the songs, seemingly outing herself as Jay Z’s mistress.
Roy is the ex-wife of Jay Z’s former business partner and some believe Solange Knowles shoved Jay Z in that elevator in 2014 because she thought her brother-in-law was way too cozy with Roy.
Ever since Roy posted the above image, she has been harassed online by members of the Beyhive.
One fan of Beyonce’s even edited Roy’s Wikipedia page to say that she died… under a “Lemonade Stand.”
Wrote another misguided Internet user: “Rachel Roy won’t exist by the end of the day.”
Finally sick of all the hate, Roy went back on Instagram yesterday and shared the quote below:
I respect love, marriages, families and strength. What shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind.
Is Roy denying that she has ever slept with Jay Z here? Mostly, although one could read between the lines and argue otherwise.
More importantly, though, we must ask:
If Jay Z really did cheat on Beyonce, shouldn’t most of the hate be directed at Jay Z?
