The first casualty of the Jay Z, Beyonce, Solange Knowles incident has now been announced. According to reports, the hotel employee who released the video showing Jay Z getting his assets punched, kicked and scratched to TMZ has been fired.
According to the hotel, the person was fired for “breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video.”
Celebrity website TMZ shared the video on Monday, which appears to be from the night of the Met Gala and shows Solange attacking Jay Z while Beyoncé watches. There is no audio, but many theories have been floated for why the fight happened.
The Standard Hotel said after the video aired Monday that it was “shocked and disappointed.” On Wednesday, the hotel added that it would turn over “all available information to criminal authorities.”
Neither Jay Z, Beyoncé, or Solange have publicly commented on the video, but Beyoncé posted a slew of Instagram photos with her and her sister showing affection for one another.
