Maybe this release was timed to take the focus away from another video showing Jay Z being beaten in an elevator by his sister-in-law Solange, who knows?
What we do know however, is that this video/movie will never be released.

In an exclusive statement to The Associated Press, Jay Z, Beyonce and apparently Solange, have all agreed to put the infamous elevator incident behind them and move on.
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” the statement said. “Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”
The statement continued;
“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”
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.

Boy, something must have really pissed off Beyoncé’s sister. As soon as the elevator door closed, the 27-year old Solange lunged at Jay Z, swinging legs, arms, fists and feet at her 44-year-old billionaire brother-in-law. The entire episode was caught on surveillance camera as the group left the Met Gala after party in New York last Monday.
As the younger sister of Beyoncé is finally restrained, Beyoncé is seen standing next to her battered husband while Solange continued trying to get more of the Jay!
The group finally exits the elevator, Jay Z captured holding the side of his face.
