Celestine Knowles (Finally) Files For Divorce
When word of Matthew Knowles transgressions with his female office staff hit the blogs, Celestine Knowles, aka Tina, stayed quiet. When rumors of Matthew Knowles’ alleged drug use and embezzlement of funds hit the nets, Celestine — like that other famous Tina — staunchly stood by her man.
And when it became publicly known that Matthew got another woman pregnant, Celestine swallowed her pride and held her family together for the sake of the children (Beyonce and Solange).
Rumor has it that her daughter Beyonce was so distraught upon hearing the news of her father’s whoring that she drowns her sorrows in any bottle of hard liquor that she can find.
Now comes word that Celestine has finally found the courage to divorce that man. Friends say it was Elin Nordegren — estranged wife of Tiger Woods — who gave Celestine the strength to find her voice and finally walk away from a dysfunctional marriage.
According to online reports, …documents were actually filed last month and Mathew was officially served his walking papers on the 16th of November.
We applaud Celestine, Elin and all strong women everywhere who take a stand against these dogs who do not respect their vows.

She is a grown azz woman. I am sure she has known long ago about her dadagers disgressions. No child wants their parents to be married if they are not happy.
Good for her. Matthew has been cheating on her for years. Glad she finally decided to kick him to the curb.
How did Tina find strength in Elin when she filed for divorce last month before the whole Tiger shis hit the fan?

Sad to hear.. divorce always sucks. Sugabrown.. your pic is cracking me up today.
I wanna see if there are gonna candids and snapshots of bey with ther new sibling…hehehe
i think they wanted to divorce for years but wanted to wait until Beyonce completed taking over the world, that is their cash cow
Old sorry azz mofo. Good for Miss Tina, a woman can only take so much…
I am sorry that she had to experience this, Divorce is not easy. You can only try so hard and so long (without the other person giving a dayum) before you begin to implode.
I applaud her for finding the strength the do what she needs to do for her mental and physical health.
Well I think the baby was the last straw. From what’s been said, they’ve been seperated for a long time. Divorce is always hard on a family…good but sad news!

DITTO! SANDRA JUST REALLY GOES OVERBOARD AT TIMES!
What pisses me off about some men is that…when they are doing the dirt they forget who they are hurting, etc.
I know Ms. Tina was strong to stay with Matthew. I am really starting to think that all men do cheat some way some how. Plain greed!
Well about time Tacky Tina. Good for you. I mean much longer can you stand by your grimy azz cheating husband? He obviously didn’t give a damn about you to continue on with his cheating ways and got nerve to get a chick preggos! Shew you like it, I love it. You’s (Florina) a survivor. You’s get through it.
Good morning all.
I imagine Beyonce knows thather ma and pa were having problems.
I HOPE they were not pulling the wool over her eyes to ‘protect’ her…shes too damn grown for that
That picture, them 2 pimples that just says look at me, that make up, that wig, that lip stick, that foundation, those eyebrows, Lawyd Lawyd Lawdy……
Why do Bey allow here mama to step out like this.
Why do her lips look like they’re nonexistent? Looks like she just took the lipstick and drew lips on her face
We applaud Celestine, Elin and all strong women everywhere who take a stand against these dogs who do not respect their vows.

The same reason Diddy allows his Mama to step outta the house lookin far beyond tacky. I guess they figure because they’re rich off of their children, then they are allowed to look a mess.

Good for you Mz. Tina let the fun begin. When millions are the compensation for divorcing a cheater who you were unhappily married with; moving on is easy. She doesn’t need to pretend anymore.
On topic:
Good for her. Can’t say I never say this coming even before those rumors started about him impregnating another woman.
Papa Knowles just looks sleazy…
Ya’ll know most ppl cant tell their mommas shyt. I know I dare not tell my momma wearing her church hat all tilted to the side makes her look like zorro. I just keep some ish to myself…I like my lips attached to my face.
matt is kellys dad…they look just alike
That is good she is finally leaving the devil. But for the love of all things named holy,(in my cop voice) “MOMMA TINA!!! BACK AWAY SLOWLY FROM THE RED LIPSTICK NOW!!!!! PUT IT DOWN RIGHT NOW!!! EASY….EASY…” Lawd I dont think I ever seen her in anything but that dang color.

Sorry, I was “mind-boggled” (see Ray-J for definition)….I’m thinking red is not her color
Mrs. Tina Knowles, you tried. Keep your head up.
Is it hereditary for these Knowles women (Bey and Tina) to walk around straight and silky weaves with their roots looking like untrimmed hedges
@mirsmommy…I think in their mind that makes their hair look real. I’m just not buying it and
@ untrimmed hedges!!
good for mama knowles, her red lipstick, cousin IT looking weave, count choc-ula eyebrows, and the whole knowles clan.
happy holidays to them.
@VI
I tell my mama about her church hats (she wants to be buried in a hat) but she keeps right on rocking them and swears she passed her “hat face” on to me NO MA’AM!
She should have already filed.
Why do I feel like I want to play connect the dots.
wow. well, good for her
Celestine?
i cant imagine beyonce drowing her sorrows in bottles of hard liquor
Good. It took a loooong time!
NOW IF WE COULD JUST GET KATHERINE TO FOLLOW HER FOOTSTEPS AND DUMP JOE’S “I THINK BECAUSE I WEAR A GOLD LINK ON MY TIE WITH MY SUITS I GET FROM THE CHEAP LOCAL IRANIAN/INDIAN STORE AND I LIVE OFF OF MY SON’S NAME DESPITE THE FACT HE HATED MY GUTS AND YOUNG CHICKEN HEAD’S THINK I GOT MONEY” TRIFLIN AZZ THEN ALL WOULD BE RIGHT WITH THE WORLD!
Tina and Matthew Knowles remind me of Kathryn and Joe Jackson.
Divorce wasn’t part of the master plan, but God wouldn’t suffer a woman or man to stay in a marriage with a cheating spouse ( a spouse who hardened their heart against God ), therefore God gave Moses permission to include ‘ divorce ‘ in the laws.
Men and Women need to walk with God in order to overcome all sin. Jesus commanded ” Be ye perfect even as your father in heaven is perfect. ” This is a COMMANDMENT not an opinion.
Whatever
She shoulda been left that azz..

Don’t let the image fool you.
Overdue!
And I am really tired of you calling these women strong Sandra. They are not strong because Elin stayed and got cheated on for how many years before she FINALLY decided to leave. Come on now, you know damn well she knew Tiger was cheating! And Celestine, please, she took one of Matty’s indiscretions into her home and raised her as her own. He has cheated on this woman for how many years? Let’s be real, they ain’t strong, they’re TIRED
It is possible to walk perfectly on this earth contrary to popular belief.
People cheat because they do not know God.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
I don’t think it’s because they don’t know God. I think it’s because they don’t have the type of relationship with him that they’re supposed to because if your relationship is like it should be with God and you’d be spending time in prayer with God and you would be able to avoid these situations and as I have said on here before that doesn’t mean you wont get tempted
Elin and Bey’s mama….That’s a little blogger move called storycombining…loves it! SR goes in…..
Good for her. That’s what you gotta do when they start acting up. Get your stuff straight and be out. Yay momma tina.

Celestine?
************************************************************Dayum, this is what I was most surprised about too
Good for Ms. Tina and Elin!
“We applaud Celestine, Elin and all strong women everywhere who take a stand against these dogs who do not respect their vows.” Sandra, this statement boldly contradicts your statement about Tuscan Sam (as you call him) saying a Real Man stays with his family! To which statement do you concur, you can’t have it both ways!
As someone stated they have been separated for a while, they weren’t together when J and Bey were married. It was only a matter of time
God bless her in her journey. Just wish she would’ve ended this mess sooner. There’s always been rumors going on about Matt’s behavior. But they tried; she stayed (for appearance’s sake and for the chirren), but that’s not enough. You gotta be happy and you gotta do what’s right. Divorce his bum; shoulda done it years ago.
I think Kelly is Matt’s daughter too!
Celestine?I didn’t know that was her real name.Tina should have done that a long time ago.She’s a foxy lady, she’ll find another man.You know it makes me think You give your whole life to a man, birth his kids, wash his dirty “draws”,cook and clean when don’t you feel like it and your back hurts,rub coco butter on his ashy back,greet and smile in his momma face when you don’t like her and you KNOW she don’t like you and this is how that MOFO treats you?mad1: I bet Matthew told that trick “have a baby by me baby be a millionaire”…..you know and not that it matters i just wonder if the trick he got pregnant is black? or looks remotely black.I would love to see what she looks like…..
Friends say it was Elin Nordegren — estranged wife of Tiger Woods — who gave Celestine the strength to find her voice and finally walk away from a dysfunctional marriage.
********************
How is that when Miss Tina filed for divorce BEFORE Elin clobbered Cheetah with a golf club?
Mama Tina is going to get her a white man. Watch. lol
Well I hope that Mrs. Knowles find solace now. It hard enough for regular people to work through a divorce and it’s even harder for high profile people. God bless them.
And Sandra please stop speculating on Beyonce being an alcoholic. I won’t believe it unless I see her falling down drunk on stage.
Sandra—you are a mess.
Well, good for Mama Tina. She can move on now. I have always thought Ol Matty was an abuser. Beyonce & her Mom always seemed to act like there were abused (emotionally or verbally) by him. I am a Beyonce STAN…will ride all day erry day for my girl, but it seems like her Dad bullied and controlled the family.
so if papers were filed last month, Elin had nothing to do with her decision. good one though, SR.
I believe Tina remained quiet and dealt with so much for as long as any person could. You could already tell she and Matthew weren’t together or separated at best. She’d be with the kids, he wouldn’t. He’d be at an awards show, she wouldn’t. I think they can both walk away and say they’ve had some great years together, have a great family, and just admit people grow apart and want different things. People who know me also know that I dont believe in marriage. Times are completely different and our morals arent what they once were, hence all the cheating and other extracurricular activities that take place within a marriage. Spice it up my ass, ur married. Respect it.
Best to Tina. She probably has a generic man on the side anyways. She’s not a bad looking lady at all.
@4,5 &16 or anybody else that caught that lie. POW!!!! SMMFH.
@Brownsugarpoet, careful Bey claims to have been raised better than the Jackson’s…………
@ spongebobfan
matt is kellys dad…they look just alike
Kelly look more like the man than the two he is claiming publicly
________
this situation reminds me of my parents’ marriage. i think tina decided to stay until both daughters were independent. Solonge has Wale and Beyonce has Jay … Tina prolly feels now is the best time.
I wonder if this will lead to Bey finally leaving daddy’s record label.
Happens everyday. Nothing new here. Why would you think Elin, a white woman, has that much power over anyone. Especially since you already knew Tiger’s situation happen after her filing
I guess she’s doing what she gotta do….more power to her, she took it for a long time, this is her opportunity to find her happiness.
Tina put in a 29 year bid. Her children are grown ass women she stayed beyond the expiration date I believe out of fear and appearances but damn it ENOUGH is ENOUGH and I say FREE Yo MuthaF-g SELF!!! It’s a pathetic sight seeing old men trying hella hard to have young’n swag. Holding on to young girls in photos with pained smiles that read ” you doing it for the money, you’re doing it for the money!” as they try to refrain from hurling at the thought of granpa huffing and sweating on top of them cuz they willing to do something strange for a piece of change. Ick! Good riddance I say
Oh….Emmm….Gee… Could this be the end of the stand-by-your-man after he’s humiliated stance by women married to powerful/political/wealthy/celebrity men? Mark Sanford wife: Filed for Divorce, Elin Nordergen working out the details for her divorce and Now Tina Knowles? Hey they say it comes in threes! Hmmmph, Bill Clinton may not have any more free BJ passes left after this!
Sandra, Beyonce married a man-whore same way her mother did. She must be drowning more than just her father’s philandering ways, in liquor.
Meanwhile, good for you, Tina. In my book, you should have left his sorry time a long time ago.
His sorry azz*
.
Sandra, the Tiger and Elin drama is bad but it is NOT comparable to the Knowles. Mama Knowles is one of them old fashioned women, who dealt with infidelity for 20 or 30 years. She has definitely fulfilled her vows of “for better or worse” and she’s choosing divorce over “til DEATH do us part”. If you know what I mean.
People get divorced e’rrday.
