Video of Beyonce Sitting on Producer's Lap Explained

 

An old video of Beyonce from 2001 started going viral on the internet recently. The short clip shows her sitting on a producer lap while talking on the phone to Michael Jackson.

Social media users quickly began spreading rumors about the scene. People made up false statements and claimed she said controversial things about her past. None of those statements were true. She never made any public comments about the video.

The truth behind the clip is very simple. It was shot behind the scenes during the recording of a charity song. The studio room was crowded with staff and equipment.

The producer connected the phone call so she could speak with Michael Jackson directly. She sat on the chair armrest for a brief moment to reach the phone.

The moment was just an everyday studio interaction from decades ago. People online took a quick clip out of context to generate views and drama.
