Designer Rachel Roy released a statement to People on Tuesday refuting reports that she is Jay Z’s side chick or “Becky with the good hair”. Below is the statement:
“I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted, it was misunderstood as something other than that,” she said.
“There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors. “Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother – and I know many mothers would agree – I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media sees the real issue here – the issue of cyber bullying – and how it should not be tolerated by anyone.
