In an interview with Elle, Tina Knowles openly admits to “slapping her daughter for acting like a diva” while at a promotional event. Does this make anyone else extremely uncomfortable?
“My husband came up and said, ‘Tina! She’s got the No. 1 record on the radio!’ I said, ‘I don’t care!’” Tina says. “I was terrified. I had seen people take your child and turn them into something you didn’t want them to be.”
If Tina said that Beyonce was acting like a diva, nobody’s going to argue with her. But seeing her get slapped in the face? That’s something I can’t imagine. In fact, in the same interview, Beyonce admits that she has a “power struggle” with husband Jay-Z, and that “if I didn’t respect someone, and they didn’t have that strength, then I would be bored.”
What would you bet that she learned that from her mother?

OMG, OMG, OMG, i bet it was because of her role of Etta James. She is so quiet, but her mom to slap a grown ass woman's face who is married is wrong! I bet she wasn't paying attention or something and she just slapped her to get her to shut up, great mom! Maybe she wanted Bey to feel how it felt since that weird fan slapped her. Tina seems like a bitch, not Beyonce, they never said what she said.

Okay, Ali…please pay attention to what you're reading. Read the comment made by sinker, “her mom slapped her when she was 18;….don't make it seem like it was yesterday” . So, how could it be for the role she played as Etta James? And, it really doesn't matter what she said, if her mother felt disrespected then she had every right to slap the crap out of her…no matter how old she is.
This is what Beyonce said about the slap, copied from a magazine article:
“She was asking me something and I started singing while she was talking to me. And there were some really cute guys in the store who were noticing me, and I was like, 'Oh yeah! I'm hot!' And my mom said, 'I'm talking to you'. And I kept singing. And so she smacked me – slapped me in my face, so hard.
“And my dad said, 'What are you doing?' Because I didn't get spankings growing up. They didn't believe in that. My mom says, 'She thinks she's hot stuff 'cos her single is out. Nobody cares about that! You are still my child. I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it! Now go sit in the car'. But it was the best thing she could have ever done to me because for the first time I realised I was losing sight of what was important.”
