Tina Knowle, a popular businesswoman and mother of pop superstar Beyoncé had responded to speculation that she “liked” a social media post about rape allegations against Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z.
In an amended lawsuit filed Sunday, the billionaire music mogul was accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl alongside fellow hip-hop star Sean “Diddy” Combs at an after-party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000. The woman, identified anonymously as Jane Doe, brought a lawsuit against Combs in October for the alleged assault.
Not long after the news went viral, reports emerged that Knowles allegedly liked an Instagram post about Jay-Z’s legal trouble from ABC7 Chicago. The post’s caption read, “Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs are accused of raping a then-13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards, according to an amended civil lawsuit filed Sunday.”
In an Instagram post Monday, Knowles denied she liked the ABC News post, claiming her account was “hacked.”
