Kerry Washington is reportedly disappointed in Beyoncé, who is putting money ahead of her pride. The 37-year-old ‘Scandal’ actress roasted the 32-year-old singer for staying with aging rapper Jay Z, 45, despite mounting evidence of his rampant cheating.
From Dish Nation:
We know how to "stay" even when the men eff up!! Plus we don't intrude in people's marriages or relationships!!
Emmy nominated TV star Kerry Washington has privately ripped the singer for not doing enough to empower young African American girls.#Mrs Kerry Washington-Asomugha should remember that her hubby is a Nigerian! My point?
The 37-year-old star of the hit ABC show, who’s a political activist and outspoken feminist, “hates how Beyoncé relies on her body and sexual innuendo to sell records,” an insider told Dish Nation.
“Kerry thinks Beyoncé should spend less time shaking her booty and more time pushing other agendas, like the value of education and healthy eating, as well as promoting book reading.”
“To Kerry, it seems like Beyoncé is sending a message to young women that standing by your man, even if he cheats on you, is perfectly acceptable. While Kerry’s peers, like Beyoncé, exploit themselves for career advancement, she’s happy to keep her private life under wraps and let her talent do the talking Kerry wishes Beyoncé would do the same.”
Meanwhile, Beyoncé and Jay Z are desperate to put an end to the rumors of marital strife. Bey’s people are in constant touch with PR firms that specialize in damage control. Sources say certain blogs are doing all they can to shut down the rumors by publishing stories planted by Bey’s camp.

ReplyDeleteYou are so right! I actually wanted to write "That's if this story is true" but it must have skipped, thanx @Anon 19:37!!!
DeleteEven if the story is true, there's nothing wrong with her speaking her opinion and as the write up says, she shared it privately. having an opinion about a person, lifestyle or relationship choice is not intruding in other people's relationships.
ReplyDeleteI am a Nigerian woman, brought up, married and living in Nigeria and I agree with her! A woman's value is not tied to her looks or her ability (or lack therof) to snag a man or stay married to him no matter what!
In fact, its time our young women heard and understood that accepting and living with infidelity is wrong! it does not benefit anyone in or out of the relationship. And it is precisely the misguided belief that our men have of it being 'normal' or 'expected' for a woman to accept and live with infidelity that makes our marital relationships so full of heartache (and if you've lived with infidelity, you would understand this). It has to change! The more people speak up against it, the quicker that mindset will change (hopefully) so our daughters can look forward to better relationships.
I am so tired of this 'its their life' thing people pull once one speaks up against a negative but 'accepted' norm.
The fact that something is widely accepted, or everyone is doing it does not make it right. That same freedom that makes it ok for someone to appear half naked in public, sell his/her sexuality, be homosexual, accept infidelity, use profanity, is the same freedom I have to say it’s not right, refuse to live like that and encourage people to reject it!
Please, this liberalism has become bullying. Why should she or anyone else be afraid or hesitant to stand up for their belief? If you really believe everyone can do what they like cos it’s their life, then you should be able to tolerate her views as well. Abi doesn't tolerance work both ways?
@ Anon. 04:06 Thanks for the lovely response! Don't get me wrong there, I personally can't stand liars, gossips, infidelity, fake & all that jazz but who is perfect? And what happened to forgiveness? If she leaves Jay now and starts a new relationship, what is the guarantee that the next guy won't cheat on her (not being pessimistic there), will she move on too? And certainly NOT, a woman's value is not tied to her looks or being married, but.......!!! x
DeleteI think Kerry has a point that said, if the Jay&Bey story is real then that is ultimately their business. I dated and married a cheating-lying-battering-bastard from Akwa ibom state and was told to stand by my man, when i figured i couldn't live another day with the beast, i walked away and now i breathe easy.
ReplyDeleteThank God you did plus you are happier now.........cheating, lying & battering are vices one should dread in a relationship!!! Single or married, HAPPINESS IS PARAMOUNT!!!
