Remember how back in the day Tiger Woods traded cover stories so that his infidelities could be hidden? Well, an A++ list celebrity has reached a similar deal and is appearing on a cover that she would have laughed at a year ago until she passed out from laughing so hard. The thing is, the parent company of the magazine was offered some information about the celebrity. Disturbing information. About a long time employee. About the employee being caught pleasuring himself to photos of our celebrity and her infant daughter. Yeah, it is pretty sick. There is video of the incident that was taken by a woman he paid to have sex with. They are both drunk in the video but he talks about how he works for the celebrity and was her very first employee and has been with her forever and the hooker went to sell the story and the publishing company loved it. Was going to buy it and reached out to the people of the celebrity and they traded. Cover stories for a block on the publication of the photos and video. The celebrity also got together with her A++ list husband and they paid the hooker a great deal of money to go away. So, in the next couple of months when you see a cover and go wtf, now you know why.
Beyonce & Jay-Z (shortly after this blind, Beyonce showed up on the cover of Shape)
Score one for @FSP!
ReplyDeleteDammit FSP!
DeleteIck Nast.
ReplyDeleteSick. Would the long time employee be her dad?
ReplyDeleteThat would make it pretty effing scandalous. Ugh.
DeleteWhile it is ick-nasty I didn't even think of him being the employee. It would explain why they didn't go to his wedding, the parents divorce (on top of that little love-child) & her cover (maybe). It just seems like an AWFULLY strange story to hit Shape. Wouldn't it be something like Redbook or Marie Claire? Who is the parent company? Related mags??
DeleteThat's what I thought too. My god. Gross.
DeleteEwwww.
ReplyDeleteThat is all, just eww
For some reason, I thought this was Cindy Crawford. There are a couple of story about her and the way she presents her child.
ReplyDeleteThe extortion that hooker got away with is the most troubling part of this story imo.
ReplyDeleteAnother Beyonce WTF cover this month -- she is on Ms. magazine. Urgh
ReplyDeleteI really hope he is now a former employee.
ReplyDeleteLucas was the first to mention about Beys father being the "employee".. that's gotta be the story, right??
ReplyDeleteI do not blame them for resorting to this to keep it out of the press. This is why there should always be a parent at home with the child. Seriously.
ReplyDelete@phoenix: the hooker didnt extort anyone. She sold a story. The story was squashed and she was given money to keep quiet about it. It would have been extortion or blackmail if she appraoched Beyonce and said "gimme $ x or I'm gonna go public with it."
ReplyDeleteYes Count, it's not 'technically' extortion, but extortion just the same. She wanted money regardless of who it hurt and got it.
ReplyDeleteDid she sell that many covers? Humiliation really doesn't have a price.
ReplyDelete@pink picklegoo I'm guessing the staffer is her bodyguard Julius. He has been working for her forever, there have been rumors of some innapropiate flirtation between the two and more over the years and I know for a fact he is a fan of the ladies of the night.
ReplyDelete@Seachica, what amazes me is that Ms Magazine is still around. I had no idea, and I actually wrote for them at one point.
ReplyDelete@G, do you mean the humiliation of being on 'Shape' magazine or the humiliation that might result from the original story?
I actually mentioned this Blind when Bey first appeared on the cover of Shape.
ReplyDeleteI actually mentioned this Blind when Bey first appeared on the cover of Shape.
ReplyDeleteBut Bey & Mr Bey are Illuminati. They killed Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, why are these people such a problem to get rid of?
ReplyDeletehmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI just went back to look for this blind a few weeks ago to see if Angelina Jolie would fit after the mastectomy. Once I realized she didn't I was trying to figure out who it was. Yeah for reveals!
ReplyDeleteI seriously hope that when her husband found out about this employee he went back to his roots and took care of it the way Shawn Carter would've.
ReplyDelete@Jacq Shape is owned by American Media, who also owns the NE, Star mag, Radar online, and the Globe, among other US tabs.
ReplyDeleteThis was clearly about Beyonce I think several guessed it correctly. The "original employee" I'm certain was her dad, raising the ick factor thru the roof and explaining why Bey & JayZ would take such extreme measures - for them anyways, such as agreeing to a deal with the tabs and paying a hooker a huge sum - to make the story go away.
Pleasuring himself to pictures of the celebrity and HER INFANT DAUGHTER.??? WTF
ReplyDeleteI feel its her dad, otherwise they would have just fired the employee and not give a damn, but the fact that they went ahead to pay for the woman to shut her mouth speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteUgh.
ReplyDeleteOh, please don't let it be her father. The story is horrible enough without adding that level of depravity to it.
ReplyDeleteHas her bodyguard Julius been seen with her lately?
ReplyDeleteAnd if this was Matthew Knowles, I wonder if one of the reasons they went so hard to keep it out of the press was to stave off those pesky rumors that he's not really her father in the first place. Hmmmmmmm
Please God, let is not be about her Dad doing this.
ReplyDeleteJulius is still pretty much on the picture. I always thought Bey was banging Julius, or hoped she was!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I don't think the "employee" was her father. Her bad blood with him began years ago with him cheating on her mom. The "Shape" covers are recent.
