In a bizarre incident at Jay Z’s Radio 1 Hackney Weekend concert, Beyonce reportedly ordered her bodyguards to rough up some racist hecklers who had verbally attacked her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Eyewitnesses claimed the hecklers were making racial remarks about the child’s appearance and what she’ll look like when she grows up. Ouch.
“Jay-Z’s bodyguards weren’t going to have any of it,” recalls an insider. “They waded in and there was a massive ruckus. It got pretty ugly and Beyonce was whisked away so she wouldn’t get caught in the middle of it.”
Oh well, while there are as yet no reports of injuries or hospitalizations, it’s probably safe to assume that the bodyguards won. Interestingly, most of the fan sites reporting the sordid story felt no sympathy for them–not that they deserved any.
“Those dumb asses had it coming,” one site opined. “They knew what they were saying and they knew she could hear. People are gross. Good for Bey for not turning the other cheek. Sometimes people need to get smacked!”
Hey, what goes around comes around, and sometimes it comes around painfully. While everyone has a right to his own opinion, no one has a right to belittle or bully others in public with racist, sexist, or homophobic slurs. And why would racists go to a Jay Z concert anyway? Obviously, they were looking for trouble.
Looks like they found it. Duh.
