Beyoncé Knowles-Carter allegedly confides in a former Destiny’s Child member amid the allegations against Jay-Z
After the allegations against Jay-Z hit the media in December 2024, he released a statement claiming his innocence. In his statement, the rapper alleged lawyers are attempting to “blackmail” him .
“I’m not from your world,” Jay-Z said, according to NBC News . “I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor.” He added that he aims to “protect children,” whereas the lawyers involved in the case “seem to exploit people for personal gain.”
Beyoncé has not made any public statements regarding the allegations. However, a source told DailyMail.com that she confides in former Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams. The source noted that Beyoncé “spent the last few days crying.”
As for Williams, she’s allegedly stood by her former bandmate’s side and prayed “with her every day as she considers all of her options.”
“She has always been Beyoncé’s most spiritual friend, and she helped her get through the Beyoncé-hate train in the early 2000s when LeToya and LaTavia left the group,” the insider continued. “Michelle was one of the first people Bey confided in and they have been speaking every evening when Michelle has time away from her Broadway show.”
The source added that Jay-Z “reassured” his wife that none of the allegations are true and feels “infuriated that his friendship with Diddy has dragged him into this.”
Another source told DailyMail.com that Beyoncé feels “embarrassed, devastated, and horrified with the allegations.”
Michelle Williams explained how she maintained a close friendship with Beyoncé through the years
Michelle Williams met Destiny’s Child members Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Kelly Rowland in 1999. In 2021, she spoke to Us Weekly about maintaining her friendship with her former bandmates.
“I would just say respect and keeping our friendship kind of between us,” Williams explained regarding how the women managed to stay close. “We don’t share.”
The star noted that she doesn’t share her best friends’ secrets whether they’re famous or not, keeping trust strong. “I don’t treat any of my friends any differently than Beyoncé and Kelly,” she continued. “We just honor each other’s hearts, really.”
Kelly Rowland says sharing ‘space’ with her former bandmates is ‘truly a gift’
Michelle Williams isn’t the only former Destiny’s Child member to open up about her lasting friendships. Kelly Rowland maintains a close relationship with Williams and Beyoncé. In February 2021, she told Entertainment Tonight that Williams and Beyoncé visited her home to meet her newborn son.
“The girls were literally over here at the house just recently and when they met the baby it was like another part of my heart just … being able to share space with Michelle and Bey is truly a gift,” she said. “It’s really a gift because we’ve known each other for so long and the industry doesn’t really make friendships …. It’s the nature of it, and we still have each other after all these years. And I’m just so grateful for them, and they are a highlight of my life.”
It’s unclear whether Beyoncé will choose to open up to Rowland about the allegations against Jay-Z. Given the close relationship between the three women, it seems likely.
