Beyone’s mom Tina Knowles appeared on ‘The Ellen Show’ yesterday to hawk her clothing line. She also took the opportunity to deny rampant rumors that her daughter is once again pregnant by Jay Z.
“The truth is that it’s not Beyonce that’s pregnant, it’s me,” Knowles joked. “I’m kidding y’all. I’m 56. No, it’s not true” she said in reference to the rumor that seems to pop up whenever someone in the Knowles family has something to promote, such as an album or clothing line.
US Weekly broke the fake news yesterday on its website. The magazine (probably with the blessings of the Knowles) manufactured a blatant lie, and even added an old quote from Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles to add legitimacy.
Every reliable major news outlet picked up the story and reported on it as fact, because US Weekly was once considered a legitimate news source.
“With all the rumors, I should have about 5 or 6 grandchildren by now,” said Knowles. The segment will air today. Check your local listings for times.
