Mathew Knowles plans to take a British tabloid to court after it printed what he called a mispresentation of his relationship with Beyonce and Blue Ivy. Read his statement inside….
Music World owner Mathew Knowles is suiting up for a fight now that he’s dropped a bombshell lawsuit on THE SUN, a UK tabloid for “knowingly and maliciously misrepresented [his] relationship with his daughter, Beyoncé, and with his granddaughter.”
The Sun painted the relationship between Beyonce and Mathew as “tense” and even insinuated that he had not met his granddaughter Blue Ivy. Of course, we found out that Mathew had indeed met Blue Ivy once Bey’s HBO documentary, Life Is But A Dream aired. And now, Mathew is suing for unspecified damages, defamation and breach of contract. In a statement to E! News he said,
“My daughters and my family mean the world to me,” he said. “The barrage of repeated falsehoods spawned by the British Sun’s defamatory article has been exhausting and personally damaging to me. No matter how many papers it sells or web hits it generates, The Sun, like any newspaper, needs to maintain a basic level of journalistic integrity. The Sun crossed the line when it went after my family. The Sun needs to be held responsible for its lies in a court of law. This happens too often to too many people, and it is simply unfair.”
News Corp., the owner of The Sun, has not responded to the lawsuit.
