Tina Knowles Responds to Critics Accusing Beyoncé of Trying to Look White
Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, reacted angrily to online critics who claimed that her daughter had lightened her skin tone and worn a platinum blonde wig. While some remarks implied that Beyoncé “was white now,” others asserted that “she’s not a Black woman.” In a video uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday, Tina, 69, responded to these criticisms.
In a caption accompanying her video, Knowles expressed frustration, stating she’s “sick and tired of people attacking” Beyoncé and denied the concerns raised by commenters. She also pointed out that her daughter’s outfit was in line with styles worn by Black entertainers, citing examples like Etta James.
Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,’ Knowles began her lengthy caption.
She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her Renaissance documentary, ‘where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’
‘How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,’ she seethed. ‘Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’

She also castigated Black commenters on social media who had accused her daughter of trying to lighten her skin, calling them ‘bozos.’
‘Lying and faking and acting like you’re so ignorant that you don’t understand That black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days,’ she wrote. ‘I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about everyone of them at one time or another. Are they all trying to be white?’
Knowles added that she was ‘sick and tired of people attacking her.’
‘Every time she does something that she works her a** off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork,’ she wrote.
She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
‘I am sick of you losers,’ she concluded while noting that the usually tight-lipped Beyoncé might not appreciate her mother speaking out on her behalf.
‘I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up!’ she added. ‘This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.’
