Jay Z & Solange Move Past Fight, Issue Statement: "We Love Each Other & Above All We're Family" Video




Jay Z and Solange Knowles are ready to put their embarrassing fight and the rumors that have followed behind them. The two released a joint statement today via the Associated Press. Details of what led to Solange attacking her brother-in-law were understandably kept private.




"As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family. The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false," the statement continued. "At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."







Footage of the incident was released on Monday, May 12. by TMZ. Since then media and fans around the world have speculated as to why it happened. We may never know and perhaps it's better that way, but the release of this statement signifies that all parties involved felt compelled to address it.



Jay is known to be a very private person and has rarely commented publicly on situations involving his family.



The Standard Hotel has fired the person who sold the surveillance video to TMZ for$250,000.

Report: Solange Has A History Of Melting Down. Beyonce & Jay Z See It Often "She Can Take A Small Thing & It Triggers Her"





The video of Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z has everyone in shock, but according to US Weekly it isn't something new.



A report this morning suggests that the singer often becomes unhinged during fits of anger and Jay Z and Beyonce are used to it by now.



Prior to the May 5 elevator meltdown at the Standard Hotel in New York City, Solange yelled at designer Rachel Roy and others at the Boom Boom Room earlier in the evening before her sister, Beyonce, "got in the middle of it."








"Solange has flipped her lid like that before," an insider told Us Weekly. "She is genuinely a sweet and nice person but she also keeps sh*t real. She can take a small thing and it triggers her. This is not the first time this has happened. That's why Bey and Jay were so calm. They are used to this from Solange. It has definitely happened before."



"It is a testament to Beyonce's calm nature how she kept back and played the peacekeeper here," a second source says. "She is so calm and always the peacekeeper."







TMZ is also reporting that a tweet supposedly from Solange that circulated around social media on Monday, May 12, following the release of the fight video is fake. The fraudulent tweet claimed the fight was a result of Jay hitting Beyonce. It's complete nonsense and didn't originate from Solange's account.

Solange Knowles Physically Attacks Jay Z In Front Of Her Sister Beyonce!, Full Fight Video Added. Possible Reason For Altercation Revealed





Video of a bizarre altercation between Solange Knowles and Jay Z has just emerged. According to TMZ, the incident occurred at a Met Gala after party last Monday, May 5, at the Standard Hotel in New York City.


Jay, Solange, a bodyguard and Beyonce can be seen entering an elevator. Solange immediately approaches Jay and appears to be yelling at him before starting to punch and swing wildly at him. The bodyguard grabs the singer and pulls her away as she continues to try to kick Jay.


Jay pushes her away and never throws a punch of any kind. Throughout the altercation, Beyonce, who is Solange's sister stands next to her husband and doesn't try to intervene.



There is no way to tell what is being said because there is no audio on the surveillance footage. So far there has been no public comment regarding the fight from anyone involved.



It's interesting to note that Beyonce and Solange left the event in the same vehicle, while Jay was led to a different car.

TMZ has added the full fight video between Solange and Jay Z. One thing is clear, Solange is in an uncontrollable rage and her sister Beyonce doesn't seem to want any part of it.

While nobody knows for sure why the singer is so mad at her brother-in-law, US Weekly is reporting that it has to do with something Jay said.

According to their source: 

"Solange flipped out over something Jay had said, that she took the wrong way. She took it too hard or too far. Not sure what it was, but she greatly overreacted."
