Beyoncé’s Mom Gives Her Interpretation Of The Drama Behind ‘Lemonade’

Beyoncé‘s father Matthew Knowles recently gave his input on Lemonade and dodged the question of whether it’s based on his daughter’s actual marriage. And now the star’s mother has done the same.

In an interview with Houston’s KTRK, Tina Knowles-Lawson highlighted Lemonade‘s message of healing and discussed how her experience with ex-husband Matthew’s infidelity played into that.

“People make it all about the cheating and betrayal and, yes, that’s a part of it because that is something you have to heal from,” she said about her daughter’s latest project. “But the overall film, if you really listen to the poetry, it is one of hope and redemption and hopefully that can be healing for people.”

But of course, she stopped short of revealing whether or not the relationship issues depicted in Lemonade are based on the real-life marriage of Beyoncé and Jay Z.

“It could be about anyone’s marriage,” Tina explained. “I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed, lied to, it’s about the pain – and it’s about the healing process – and it’s about how do you get past that and move on.”
