Yesterday MTV published an article on Beyonce that read like a diss pretending to be a logical explanation for why she pushed her reported due date up by 2 months (so she can give birth in peace).
The article, titled “Does Beyonce Have A Smoke And Mirrors Plan To Have Her Baby In Peace?“, was a long overdue, disguised attack on Beyonce’s credibility and narcissism.
We told you last month that the national media weren’t all that thrilled that Bey tricked them by showing up pregnant one day, when she had been in the public eye all along. We told you that there would be some form of retaliation from the tabloids in response to Beyonce’s blatant manipulation tactics.
But this all-out attack on Beyonce’s credibility by a national music network seems bizarre when you consider their usual ersatz approach to Beyonce coverage in the past.
The article starts off innocently enough — “Beyonce is one smart cookie”. But then the writer launches into an SR-worthy critical analysis of Beyonce’s baby bump — complete with images showing the bump’s ridiculous progression from zero to 5 months.
*(We highlighted the particularly biting comments for emphasis!)
Yes, pregnancy hits everyone a little differently, every lady gains different amounts of weight and begins to show at different times, but does Beyonce look five months pregnant in the first image [above] (from August 18)?
Which brings us to the second and third pictures in the above image. Again, a lot can happen in three weeks in the life of a pregnant woman, and we hold degrees in English and communications and not obstetrics so we are not experts in pregnancy, but the middle image is from Beyonce’s performance at the MTV Video Music awards on August 28 and the third image is from the “Countdown” set video on Sept. 23. It’s a dramatic difference.
It’s also worth pointing out that the first image and the third image in the above photo were taken one month and five days apart.
It warmed the cockles of our hearts to see a national media outlet going IN on Beyonce. We only hope that more journalists will continue to expose her for the fraud that she is.
Special thanks to loyal reader Shani for the tip!
