Beyoncé's Mother Comes to Her Defense Over her Stunning Platinum 'Renaissance' Premiere Look
Tina Knowles passionately defends Beyoncé's stunning platinum 'Renaissance' premiere look, speaking out against derogatory, racially-charged remarks A powerful stand against ignorance and self-hate
Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, wants to remind online commenters that mothers will protect their children fiercely, no matter how powerful girls may be. Knowles defended her daughter against discriminatory and racist comments about her new look at the premiere of "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé."
Beyoncé made a stunning appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of her upcoming film, which will be released to theaters on December 1. She turned heads with a captivating head-to-toe look, featuring a custom silver gown from Versace and platinum hair. However, the Internet quickly sparked a debate ranging from glowing praise to unsettling criticism, leading to a discussion about colorism and ultimately resulting in Knowles defending her daughter.
On Instagram, Knowles expressed frustration with the accusations about the film "The Renaissance" and the suggestion that the actress was attempting to appear as a white woman by bleaching her skin. He lamented the perpetuation of such narratives within her own community and highlighted the long-standing tradition of Black women - including iconic figures like Etta James - sporting platinum hair.
Knowles expressed frustration about the pressure on black celebrities to change their hair color, questioning if it is a sign of trying to conform to white standards. She also shared a video that elaborated on her points.
"Beyoncé is described as a brown skin girl in the video, sometimes appearing lighter or darker. Being a brown skin girl is about more than just skin color - it's about culture, pride, and strength. Beyoncé is a representative and voice for brown skin girls."
Knowles acknowledged that her daughter, a well-known public figure, may be upset that she is speaking out on her behalf, but she expressed frustration and determination to do so.
Celebrities like Cynthia Erivo, Octavia Spencer, and Keke Palmer expressed their support for Knowles' words in the comments.
Spencer wrote, "You have raised beautiful, strong, intelligent black women who are proud to be black. Period. Anyone who says otherwise has their own issues to deal with. I'm sorry you've come across the negative comments that people don't realize reflect how they feel about themselves."
The lesson: Dont come for Beyoncé unless youre ready for everyone from her life-giver to an Oscar-winner to get in formation.
