Jay Z And Solange’s Elevator Brawl Inspired The Latest Episode Of ‘Law & Order: SVU’ — Seriously

Jay Z and Solange Knowleselevator brawl is one of the most iconic pop culture moments in recent memory. As such, it’s already been referenced in pop songs — Beyonce and Nicki Minaj‘s “***Flawless (Remix)” — and has now inspired an episode of Law & Order:SVU. My first reaction (after bye, Felicia) was what does Solo and Hov’s punch-up have to do with a show about sexually based offenses but it looks like producers found a way to weave it into a story line.

According to THE YBF, the episode, dramatically titled American Disgrace, revolves around: “fictional NBA player Shakir ‘The Shark’ Wilkins — played by Henry Simmons — who is accused of rape by a PR employee from his clothing line. The ish jumps off after a shocking elevator scene, captured via security cam, and goes public via the ‘LMZ’ gossip site. There’s no audio and only raw camera footage. Sound familiar?”

I can’t but I simultaneously can and will. There’s a preview of this Emmy-worthy piece of television, which airs next week (October 8), after the jump.

Will you watch the episode? Let us know in the comments below.
