Jay-Z, Beyonce and her sister Solange have spoken out for the first time since a video leaked of the latter attacking the rap mogul in a hotel elevator.
In a statement to The Associated Press on Thursday, the trio
said they have worked through their differences and moved on since the
video emerged this week showing Solange kicking Jay Z as Beyonce looked
on.
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage
from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about
what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is
that our family has worked through it,” the statement said.
“Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what
has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter
that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each
other and we have moved forward as a united family.”
Their statement comes days after TMZ posted surveillance
video of Solange yelling at, and kicking her brother-in-law in a
Standard Hotel elevator during a Met Gala afterparty. (The employee who
leaked the footage has since been fired.)
“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic
behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement
continued.
“At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different.
We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind
us and hope everyone else will do the same.”
The hotel said Wednesday it had fired the person who recorded the video.
Beyonce and Jay Z — who were married in 2008 — will kick off their co-headlining On the Run Tour on June 25 in Miami.
