This week has been dominated by talk and speculation surrounding the Solange, Jay Z and Beyonce incident that took place in an elevator after the Met Gala last week. The incident we're referring to, of course, occured when Solange's anger switch flipped into "beast mode" and she attacked her brother in law, Jay Z, while Solange's sister, Beyonce, stood and watched. There has been endless speculation over the reason behind Solange's lash-out; mainly surrounding things Jay Z could have said and done to incite this behaviour. 

We were expecting more explosions, some hectic interviews and the fall-out of the century; what we've woken up to this morning is a big anticlimax. It seems the siblings-in-law have buried the hatchet and it seems that all parties are keen to make as little of the incident as possible and move on. The Carter-Knowles family released a joint statement last night that seemed to end all speculation about the  fight as well as the rumors over the future of the Jay Z and Beyonce's relationship (Which continues to look strong). The first part of the statement read:

As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.

To an extent we feel some sympathy for all 3 individuals. Regardless of what was said or what went on (Or why it happened) nobody wants their dirty laundry aired as it was this week. The statement also went on to clarify that Solange was not drunk (As many had suspected) or in any way disorderly on the night. 

The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.

It's clear that this saga is well and truly over; in fact, Jay Z and Solange were seen shopping for jewellery together this week while Beyonce and Jay were also seen together watching the Nets and Heat game, as we reported earlier this week. It's good to see everybody happy and smiling again (Until the next incident, of course!)
