In a interview with the PEOPLE, she said: “My family is so precious to me and babies are so sacred. So to hear people say the most horrendous things and call my whole family a lie, because we would all have to be part of that conspiracy and lie about something so sacred.”
“It was the worst because I couldn’t say anything. My daughter was saying, ‘No, you’re going to make the story bigger.’ But it didn’t go away for a long time. It’s one of the most painful things for me, that people could be that disgusting.”
This came after rumors started swirling online, fueled by a viral video that appeared to show fabric beneath Beyoncé’s baby bump.
The speculation led some to believe that she wasn’t actually pregnant at the time. Some even went as far as to claim that she didn’t give birth to Blue Ivy, who was born on January 7, 2012.
Adding, Tina said: “is that people feel they can dog you out any kind of way and you’re not supposed to get upset……..but we’re still humans, and it hurts.”
“I deal with lies all the time. I’m dealing with lies now, that I’m having, like, an invisible zipper at my mouth to talk about things now because there’s always these crazy rumors that are out there and, people just get to lie and they don’t have to suffer any consequences, you know, it is very sad.”
