Tina Knowles will not sit idly by while people online accuse Beyoncé of bleaching her skin to look "white" for the premiere of her Renaissance film.

At Saturday's premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, the star of the show sported platinum locks to match her Versace gown and silver gloves.


As photos made their rounds on the internet, people began to speculate that the singer had bleached her skin to appear white.





Well, Mama Knowles got fed up with all the "ignorant, self-hating racist" statements and took to Instagram to fire back at the "sad little haters."

She posted a video that first featured Bey in her premiere look overlayed with comments about the singer "being white."

The video then cut to various clips of the singer as her song "BROWN SKIN GIRL" plays.

In the caption, Knowles called out the fans accusing her daughter of lightening her skin.

She began:

"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."
"She does a film, called the Renaissance, 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. Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!"

Beyoncé famously sparkled in silver throughout the run of the tour, even asking fans to do the same for her birthday.

The singer took to her Instagram stories to ask concert attendees to wear their "most fabulous silver fashions" during "Virgo season" (August 23 to September 22).

Knowles then shared that a white woman "from TMZ" allegedly contacted Beyoncé's hairstylist to get a statement about her daughter "[wanting] to be white."

"What's really sad is that a white woman had the audacity to reach out to Neal, Beyoncé's hairstylist. She was from TMZ to say that the fans are saying that she wants to be white and she wanted to get a statement about it from Neal."
"Well that made my blood boil, that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness."

Bey's mother then addressed the "ignorance" surrounding the platinum hair.

"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."
"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?"

In the end, Knowles shared her exasperation over the constant scrutiny of her daughter who "lifts up and promotes Black women...at all times."

"I am sick and tired of people attacking her. Every time she does something that she works her ass off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience."
"Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards, you perpetuate those things. Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don't like her."

She added Beyoncé will likely not be too happy about her post, but she's "fed up."

"This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can."
"She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times."

Several famous ladies in the comments celebrated Knowles' message and expressed they have the singer's back, as well.

Woman Recounts 'Craziest' Experience At Restaurant While Reality TV Show Was Filming There—And Yikes

There's a saying about being a "jack of all trades" that's popular for a reason: basically, you cannot be the best at everything, and if you try to be the master of juggling too many plates, you're likely to drop some of them.

TikToker Hannah Revels went out for a double date, including her husband and a couple of friends, to a restaurant that she did not disclose. It's supposed to be a nicer restaurant that was recently renovated, and it's also located in Charleston, South Carolina, so celebrity sightings are fairly common.
