Lori Loughlin Expresses Gratitude 5 Years After College Scandal
Cameras are strictly forbidden at Anna Wintour‘s annual Met Gala, but even the most star-studded snap couldn’t have topped the footage that was released from Jay-Z, Beyoncé and sister Solange‘s post-afterparty elevator ride at NYC’s Standard Hotel.
Although the 2014 surveillance video was rather explicit, showing Solange more or less losing her cool on her brother-in-law as Bey stood motionless, and speculations arose (he’d been flirtatious with designer Rachel Roy; they’d set up the whole thing to promote their upcoming tour), for a while it seemed we’d never truly know what happened in that elevator.
Then Queen B dropped Lemonade and suddenly everyone was speculating about Becky with the good hair. Although that particular mystery remains, Jay directly addressed infidelity rumors with his 4:44 album, making reference to Halle Berry‘s cheating ex: “You egged Solange on / Knowin’ all along / All you had to say you were wrong / You almost went Eric Benét / Let the baddest girl in the world get away.”
Nevertheless, he maintained their power couple status and his relationship with Solange. “We had one disagreement ever,” he said in a 2017 podcast interview. “Before and after, we’ve been cool.”
