Beyonce's Dad: I Didn't Steal from My Daughter!

21 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Beyonce's dad has filed legal papers which now explain why the singer fired him as her manager -- he claims she's under the impression he stole lots of money from her, and say it's a bad rap.



In the documents -- obtained by TMZ -- Mathew Knowles claims Live Nation Entertainment wanted desperately to sink its fangs into Beyonce's 2011 world tour. According to the docs, Mathew claims Live Nation told Beyonce that Mathew "had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to."

Mathew claims Live Nation was effective, because Beyonce had her law firm conduct an audit, and the law firm concluded Mathew had indeed pilfered money from her. Beyonce then fired him.

Mathew claims after he was canned, Beyonce hired a manager who had worked as a former exec at Live Nation and maintained a relationship with the company.

Mathew insists the theft accusations by Live Nation are false, and he wants the judge to give him the right to take depositions of various people at Live Nation, to determine just how they concluded he was a thief.

We could not reach Beyonce's rep for comment.

I hope that TMZ is somehow caught in the Scandal that is going to send Rupert Murdoch and others to jail, i dont know how, but i do know that TMZ has tapped phonecalls and messages from answering machines so if there is a god, TMZ will go down in flames like Murdoch and others are days away from doing.

Are you on my Facebook? We've been chatting about the Murdoch situation all day. I gotta admit, I have a softspot for the TMZ show. I don't watch it for their snooping (which they really don't do on the tv show). The cast is just off the way silly. It's like watching someone's office antics on TV. And I gotta a crush on the blond surfer idiot.

What is in the dark will come 2 the light..............

Poor Mathew. It's a shame when you raise a child to be a powerthristy ruthless diva and then she turns around and goes all diva on you.

i havent had a kind word for TMZ pretty much, well ever, they are shady in a more "Kardashian" kind of way, kind of like a reality show type deal, But they did scumbag Alec Baldwin with "stolen" messages of him yelling at his kid, like no parent ever yelled at their kid and some other shady stuff too

yeah i mean so far people have only been fired and not the one behind it all of course but news is that there is gonna be some major major charges lawsuits etc...alot of shit is gonna crash. But like someone said, in London this shit is nonstop the USA is nothing compared to what their celebs go through

I bet he's been stealing money from her for years.Doesn't he have a mistress and an illegitimate child to support?

I smell Joseph

Please dont turn this into a thread about TMZ, although I too am interested in how they get their stories/sources, but thats another thread. I wanna know what people think about this story-whether or not papa Knowles actually took $$ from his daughter. If its true (which may be since a law firm conducted an audit and concluded that he did take some $$), I wonder why he's pull that, thought he was already well paid as Bey's manager.

And this is why business and family don't mix

Even with my dislike of TMZ, this is troubling. I always thought Mathew was suspicious but this is going to become a big mess.

Matthew is a rogue Freemason. Any bad news with his name on it will never surprise me.

Take note of a family whose name I shouldn't mention in fear it may get fans and haters on here making it more about them than the Knowles.

This will never see the inside of a court room. Illuminati anyone?

This is terrible. I mean not to us.... for them. Father and daughter fighting about money. Terrible.

he needed more money for his love children

did she really think he wouldn't do this to her, when he was being shady with the other group members in Destiny's Child.

I don't feel sorry for beyonce, she got screwed over just like the rest of them

That too. It'll be interesting to see how this all unfolds, if Mathew and Bey's dirty laundry gets aired out in public or not.

The Osmonds never had any business problems with each other or their parents.

That's because the Osmonds actually practice what they preach.

Quote:

Interviewer: Was it worth it? I mean, I don't know anything about how much you were paid while you were in the group, but was it worth it financially? Did it help you pay your bills? Farrah: Yeah, it was worth it financially. I was making more, of course, than I was making before. So the money wasn't really an issue. It was just an issue of being unhappy. And there's no amount of money that could make me stay anywhere if I'm miserable. So when I got off the phone I went to Houston. Mathew said hi to me the next morning and I'm really upset still. I'm sick and I'm upset and I don't want to speak to him because I don't want to say the wrong thing. And Beyonc remarked "Did you hear my dad say hi?" And I said,"Yeah, I heard him say hi and I didn't speak to him for a reason." So she said,"Well if you don't want to speak to him you don't gotta speak to me either." So I started clapping and I said "Good, well my day is gonna go much easier." That was another thing. You couldn't say anything or have a conversation without the daughter being there. Then it was too personal. I mean, you should be able to have discussion with your group, you should be able to have a discussion with your manager. I mean, you're gonna have disputes. Thats gonna happen but if you can't even do that, then nothing is gonna get solved. I mean, we could not even talk about anythng. We were paying her sister, Solange Knowles, to come with us. We were paying for her flights, we were paying for her hotel rooms. Interviewer: How old is her sister? Farrah: She's 14. We were paying for her flights, her airline tickets, and we were giving her per diem. Interviewer: Who? The group? Farrah: Yes. This was coming out of my check and she wasn't doing anything. She was supposed to be a dancer, but she never danced for us until I left the group. So when I asked why we were paying her, my manager was like,"Why do you care about where $300 is going when you're getting paid this?" And I'm like I don't care if I'm getting paid 1 million, if I want to know where five of my dollars are going there shouldn't be a problem with me asking. When I asked about money there was a problem. When I asked why our expenses were so high there was a problem. I mean, I asked a lot of questions. I am and independent person. I've been on my own since I was 15 years old, so I'm gonna ask questions. It seemed like whenever I asked questions about anything it was a problem and it was always me. It got a to a point where when I saw Mathew coming I knew did something. And I was like, why me? But I ean, I asked too many questions. I flew home on our days off and they told me that I went home too much. Now mind you, we only get four days off. We were supposed to get eight, but it went down to four. So they told me I flew home too much. Now pat for my own flights home and I pay for my own flights back. I get my own car pick-ups and everything. I don't ask anybody to do anything for me. All I ask is when do I need to be back for work. I think pretty much I was just too independent. Mathew is a controlling person and everything was under his control. I had control over what I was doing in my life and I don't think he liked that.

Quote:

Farrah: Oh, she's going solo. That's a known fact. Also, another thing is she told us she was going solo about a month ago. I have friends in the industry and I know that she's been working on her album. She's been telling everybody she's not going solo and she's not doing anything but she has been working on her album. She's supposed to have her album out in December. So that means Destiny's Child is only going to be able to put out two more albums. All you see now is Beyonc. so I don't think her solo album is going to be much different than Destiny's Child. All you hear now is her. All you see is her. It's just gonna be two less people, and they'll probably be singing background for her, which is what they're doing now.

I remembered that article. Farrah Franklin, Letoya Luckett and Latavia Roberson seems to be the only ones to really tell the truth about what was going on at the time with Destiny's Child. Farrah knew Beyonce was gonna go solo before Beyonce herself confirmed it.

I hope he does get to question LiveNation...I'm not willing to dismiss his allegations so quickly. Could be something to what he says.
