When we saw Beyonce standing by passively as her sister Solange attacked her husband Jay-Z in an elevator the night of the Met Gala, everyone wondered why Beyonce didn't bat an eye. Maybe it's because Bey had already reportedly intervened when her sister tangled with another celeb earlier that night.Solange supposedly yelled at designer Rachel Roy during the same after party at the Standard Hotel before her elevator incident with Jay, UsWeekly reports, causing her big sis to jump in. The "Drunk in Love" singer "got in the middle of it," a source says. Ironically, Solange accompanied the designer to the Met Gala back in 2012.
This isn't the first time that the 27-year-old singer and mother has allegedly let her temper get the best of her. "Solange has flipped her lid like that before," an insider tells the mag. "She can take a small thing and it triggers her. That's why Bey and Jay were so calm. They are used to this from Solange."
While no one has officially commented on what caused the scuffle, Solange's rep did clear up one rumor. The screenshot of a Tweet floating around the internet Solange supposedly sent then deleted accusing Jay-Z of hitting her sister is a total fake. "I can confirm that Solange did not tweet that; that is not a real tweet," her rep tells TMZ.
As for Beyonce, she's just trying to keep the peace...and keep up appearances. Blue Ivy's mom "does not approve of violence" and they're "trying to put the situation past them," the source says. Indeed. Last night, Jay and Bey looked perfectly happy cheering on the Nets court side.
