Well, that was fast.
As reported here, Grammy winning diva Beyonce was rumored to be hard at work bringing the controversial story of Sarah Baartman, an enslaved South African woman put on display at freakshows in the 1800s, to life in a film. The rumored project, which would be Bey’s screenwriting debut, would also see her star as the historical figure.
The report was greeted with great backlash from South African dignitaries with one even claiming the songstress was ‘not worthy’ and ‘lacked the basic human dignity’ to play the part! Ouch!
Well, it looks like the singer’s camp has had enough. Tuck in below to read her rep’s weigh in on the hoopla around the rumors:
“Beyonce is in no way tied to this project,” her rep told Billboard in a statement (Jan. 5). “This is an important story that should be told, however.”
Looks like that’s cleared up.
Your thoughts?

She ain’t dumb! She knows where her name belongs and it’s not behind a story like that. She might be queen but she isn’t a representative of the black struggle unfortunately.
I think she’d be perfect for the role
LOL… poor Yoncé.. she need to stick to her routinous live shows cuz she’s a weak actress.. just in dreamgirls a second role none famous actresse over shadowed her
AND XTINA NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM BURGERS AND CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!
Child, when did already being famous make you better or more talented than someone on the rise? Yes beyonce got overshadowed but that doesn’t take away from her role! No she’s not the best actress but NO ONES CALLING CHRISTINA …
Xtina ‘ever got overshadowed by an oscar winner so please keep calmr and chill. Beyonce is just a real worker without talent.
Xtinas vocals have gone off track a few times. Beyonce has never given a bad performance.
Beyonce is known for her TALENT
Xtina is widely known for “tan” running down her legs on stage…oops! Looking like she shat herself wondering if her vocals would work that day or not. Let’s not come for the QUEEN.
What talent. Being a mediocre vocalist or what… with.. xtina’s vocal are raw. Unlike Beyoncé… alla she’s good at is rnd so please have a sit and jave
You’re delusional…
If all she’s good at is RnB, why has she successfully pulled off, pop, ballads, gospel, funk, rock, hip-hop, jazz… LOOOOL
her vocals are mediocre… If bey is mediocre than all these other chicks are tone death.
Coldplay requested Beyonce to jump on their track.. She’s been requested to join the Super Bowl for a SECOND time.. Everyone’s calling bey. Meanwhile everyone’s thinking Chritina who? Millian…???
Xtina #VoiceOfAGeneration. Queen of vocale 4,5Octave bey where ? Aside than atleast whe all know she carried her two kids in her womb. And does not make herself an imagery for people to worship or consider inhuman. Xtina is a human being and with a happiet life than that old yawner of a singer.. even rihanna got more émotion in her voice. #GrammyBuyer
FELICIA! You’re not convincing anyone. Go lie to someone else.
You’re thotatalicious… Stay out of my comments. The Critic now deems you irrelevant and pays you DUST! *waves wand* BE GONE
Shot your b**** ass smelling mouth. Xtina > Beyonce
This is not surprising!!!!!!! I knew it was obviously not true, that would have taken the whole year to make. She has music to RIHLEASE(AS OPPOSED TO SOME COKEHEAD), and probs a tour planned. However, id o think she is getting more serious about acting and just has not found the right role or maybe she has..WE NEVER KNOW WITH BEY!!!!!!!
DAMN U HAVE A SERIOUS OBSESSION WITH RIHANNA.
*waits for the NAZI to say, she only dropped out because of the negative press* LMAO
Stop begging attention… Get friends and get a life. Try a start Stan wars with your basic a**
Hahahahah….. rihoa… can’t waith for her ANTi though it seems to be an interesting album to get
Kiiiii!!!
We all know that’s the reason..Bey couldn’t take the heat so she got her a$$ out of the kitchen, no matter how many lessons you take some ppl just can’t act
I didn’t really see a problem with her sharing and portraying the story but whatever. I just need her to focus on her music. Her last era had so much potential but she let it go! I still bump that record like it just came out yesterday. I have a good feeling about this next one though. With Taylor’s recent success with 1989 and Adele’s success with 25, there is defiantly a lot expected out of Beyoncé with this new era… Same with Rihanna. I’m kind of afraid for Rihanna though because I really feel like people are losing interest as time goes by. Her team needs to get it together. Execution and timelines is everything.
So I’m guessing you missed the whole point of the album it wasn’t for sales or radio it was for the fans which Beyoncé said 28163728199362 times, she could have very well promoted that album to other genres and go on radio shows talk shows but choose not too, how did she let the era go lmfaoo
Good for her, she does not need such controversial role. Let south Africans tell the story however they like and use whom ever they like as the screenwriter or lead role. Like it or not it’s their story to tell so let them do what ever makes them happy and use anyone that will make them feel properly represented. It should not be so complicated. Beyonce will have other opportunity to do what she wants.
I thought I was hot, but they just make fun of my fourfive head. 🙁
That’s why I hate Rihanna, she’s hot with her’s, I’m not. WahHHHHH!!!!
Y’all need to give Slay Hive a break already
Hahahahahaha!
LMAOOOO You b****** are mad ass haters! The dedication to a b****(MOI) who wouldn’t care if you dropped dead tonight, is REAAALLL!!! You girls just can’t take me, even whehn ya’ll are paid DUSTTTTTTT!!! Get tf on my level. ALWAYS gone be #unbothered!!! #HBIC
SCREAMING
Hahaahhaaa! LmaOoooo! !!
SCREAMING!!!!!
That nose!!!!!! So ugly. I’m sorry, not hating, she really aged and messed up her face.
Homo Erectus. Hahahah
That picture is so offensive and i’m not even black, like why did she have to paint herself so dark to portray an african woman, african people varies in skin tone, from very dark to light without any contribution from europeans, this is Blackface, wake up people, she doesn’t see herself as one of you, here come the shut up racist replies, i love you all 😀
Ola Papi, I want you to shove that THICK juicy meat deep down my throat?
I appreciate the love 🙂
Because she and her dumb family think they’re French and this art style is very French.
The only dumb family here is yours, when they wouldn’t let your mom have an abortion while pregnant with you????
@Mark
😀
Being French isn’t a race you dumbass. Oh God. Please educate these bums.
Did I say it was a race? Such a barb tard.
We coul say that being french is part of a race, real french people are white, just like the rest of us real europeans, now if you say that Latinos aren’t a race then you’re right cuz they can be of every race, so in that sense Beyoncé or any other non-white people with little european blood, it’s not considered a real european since being white is part of our identity, i’m swedish and i don’t see nationalized arabs, african and asians as swedes, i just think of them as citizens, not ethnic europeans.
I see BeyIsQueen/Jose/RihNazi’s fat pompus ass is back and hiding from the hive, and her lazy lard-ass can’t be bothered to change her avi. I hope die b*tch.
Beyonce is a Black women of Cerole descent, like much of the black people in America. It all comes from black, if you want to be technical.
It’s not blackface when a black woman is doing it. She’s embracing her heritage through symbolism of the darker skin in Africa. Paying homage. It’s beauty. It’s only racist when white people do it because you know…
But does she identify herself as a black woman?…That’s the thing.
What kind of stupid question. If Beyonce doesn’t identify herself as black, why on earth did she marry a black man, produce a black child and have an all black inner circle?
Leave s****** blonde to its own devices! we can’t educate EVERY basic b****** on here…
Obviously. Beyonce wouldn’t be stupid enough to mess with her brand like that.
She is ooh she is stupid. Unlike Nicki and her parrot legs
Anyways it’s 2016… still no R8.
And still no PLATINUM plaque for the stink print????
Loool
OOP!
*Screams*
Mark stop Co signing yourself boo boo
Nicki should stop fooling herself with made up album sales. lol
Says the bum who inflates Graveliyahs success to the heavens.
LMAOOOO?????? cries in 3,3 million sold WW
KIIIII
One can sure decipher which individuals spend most of their time texting. Their English and writing skills are deplorable. If you read something you wrote back to yourself, and it sounds ridiculous, maybe a little editing might help.
Come on teacher crack face
Stop trying so hard to sound bout it! No one talks or writes like how you just demonstrated p. I AM THE BRAINIEST BISH IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. we all know this
U are a cougar brain washed b****
lol and that Chief was seething and throwing insults in ignorant vein. All the yolks in her villages chicken hut runneth down her face for not fact checking prior to seething. Lol
Beyonce doesn’t need this role anyway. Maybe it would draw to much negative attention to her brand. I still wouldn’t mind her producing, or playing a part inthe development of the project, if she chooses. Either way, she’ll succeed!!
.
P>S. I can’t at this sexually-confused bttm Ms. Markeisha dedicating a troll account to me, posted up on TGJ 24/7 seething because she is an insecure no-life ass b****, who can’t handle the daily beatings her self-esteem and spirit has endured from being a dumb b**** and causing drama. You are an insult to straight men everywhere. There is absolutely nothing about your effeminate persona that coincides with masculinity. I pray that you don’t die of a broken heart when Anti flops, you weak pressed ass insecure b****!!
Yeah girl, she gives very “Vers bottom butch queen”, who wears fitted hats with Jordan’s and an H&M outfit when she vogues.
You sound bothered. You ok?

LMAOOOOO NO b****, are you MF ok? Honey I close and open my eyes everyday without a thought of you crossing my mind. Where is your life outside of being mad on TGJ 24/7??
There is absolutely nothing about your effeminate persona that coincides with masculinity.
_______
U know how i feel abt you bìtch, but that read is everything.
🙂 🙂 🙂 😉 Thanks boo
These h*** are so desperate for my attention on this website. Do you h*** NOT have men, lives, jobs, happiness, dildosss ETC.?? lmaoo Some of you little weak links may need to take a break from TGJ land, find yourselves and learn to be happy outside of a Rihanna album. Specifically to Ms. Markeshia!
Lmao Mark is jealous of you babe… He wishes he could be a hot s*** proud open gay man like yourself.. Meanwhile his fat worthless ass is trapped in the closet stuffing his face with great vaule brand cheetos.
I know. I’m laughing at this insecure b****! She has lost her f****** mind. She clearly has no life outside of trolling TGJ and waiting on a flop ass rihanna album. I’m convinced Markeisha has a real pusssy between her legs. Too much estrogen hunny. I can smell it and the fumes through the screen. mad ass b****! lmaooo
Glad Yonce isn’t apart of this.
Beyonce just want’s to be a Whitney or a Diana Ross but it’s impossible..!!!
And Oinktine just wants to be a soprano again
https://youtu.be/iMFWNXoUYh8
I didn’t believe this s*** from the get go.
The Navy is a bunch of MF SORE LOSERS!!!! This s*** is so sad and pathetic lmaoooooooo I sincerely prays she flops, so majority of you hoess will end your lives! A MESS! Anyone this pressed and stressed out over entertainment doesn’t deserve to breathe!
Whe yawnce flops this era u will understand
LOl What makes you think she will flop?? Did her last era not show you girls that she is relevant, persistent, and stable in this industry, without uttering a word. A certified ICON!! Keep being delusional and jealous, waiting on her to fall, because she is more respected and talented than your fave. Some of you are too sensitive to participate in stan wars. Hating on me and Beyonce, will not do anything to save any of your fave’s careers! sowry
Adding LMFAO doesn’t make you look unbothered, it seals the fact that you are. 🙂
LMAOOOO Sweety I am laughing at YOU. It’s going to take a WHOOOLLLLEEEEEE lot more than a troll account, made by an anonymous insecure fat black ass thug bottom, to destroy my self-esteem. I’ve clearly already destroyed your self-esteem though, hence the dedication to me. I pray for your sanity and self-worth.
And Oinktina just wants a number 6 with a Diet Coke, super sized.
Leave Slay_Hive alone you hating ass b******?
“But does she identify herself as a black woman?…That’s the thing.”
…
What kind of stupidity? Lmao S****** Blonde gtfo with your racist ass?
Not surprised. I’m glad they cleared this up swiftly.
You can troll and hide behind Beyonce and a 3 year old all ya want. But THIS is the real you. What’s the matter? Can’t take your own face? You seem… upset. Hahahahahahahahaha
Bow down h**!

http://spesmagna.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/reflection.jpg
Hahahaha, bug killer. Lol
The desperation to make me mad! Honey I’m not the one dedicating a troll account to ME!! lmaooo The delusion spoiling these TGJ streets is REALLLL!!! Honey, I’m PAID and always laying in the SHADE! Get TF on my level!!!!!!
You seem so bothered for someone that does not care?
You’re confused boo! 😉 I just came to a post concerning my fave, not expecting to see that someone has clearly dedicating hours to cropping pics and creating emails just to gain my attention. Why should I be mad boo. My fave released her album AND i have a blog full of fans! I’m good. Get on my level hoee!!
*dedicated
The desperation from the navy tho????. Most of these troll accounts are navy members?
Reciepts?? TGJ has clocked many troll accounts coming from certain hive members on here so please don’t try act all holy.
@Kii Yeah I know that too but lately all these troll accounts are Rihanna fans. I can’t deal this is why I barely come on this site now.
I knew it was a lie from they said Beyonce is going to write the story
“Everybody hating, we just call em fans though” – The Genius known as Fetty Wap
Slay_hive is sexxxy af look at the punk ass haters… Atleast he was man enough to show his true self. Markeshia when you gonna show us ur face f****?
He hides his face when he bottoms for me so I doubt that will happen any time soon
STFU!!! LAVERNE????
Hiding behind troll accounts Hoilday heart? Ooops I mean Markeshia.
Mad ass b****!! Tell em why you mad B!!!!!!!
Well more time to finish B6 this bish is up to something she’s been tooo quiet
Not bothered, yet he’s steady commenting about it. Hahahahaha #GotEm
The Hive has officially broke the Navy! They doing the most with these 10000 troll accounts LMFAO
Her team was quick to damage control after she got dragged lol! She wouldn’t be dumb enough to cast herself, a lightskinned privileged American, in that role anyways.
Besides, we all know that Bey and writing of any sort don’t mix.
Like Katy and a Grammy don’t mix, oh ok.
After Thursday when he appears on lip sync battle & kill it , everyone will forget about this story. Let the haters hate & flock to her when she releases. I’m glad she isn’t apart of this project . 2016 should be all about the music & promo a movie can wait she has plenty of time for that
I think it’s true. I recall Wendy Williams saying that she was looking to do a n*** scene in a film. Sorry trick, you can’t buy an Oscar. Still laughing at Slave_HIVe, when Molly takes up for you, you know you lost. That tying always rooting for the losers. Hint Ciara and Iggy.
That h** Mariah the Legend, is nowhere to be found after I scalped her clean to the skull. I already told the Nazi h0es this was a RUMOUR but they were so quick to believe it (and yet they won’t admit that their fave is a coke-sniffing-loose-vadge-wh00re no matter how many receipts you provide them with). TISK TISK!
People were laughing at the comment that person made about her, we don’t give to crops about her role. It’ll flop just like $8 million Cadillac Records.
Morticia Addams, gurl shut your q**** ass up and go find some D*ck to satisfy your thirsty ass. The Chief made a statement about a rumor, and quite frankly they look distasteful for their arrogant and unfounded comments. As usual your gang of salty ass popcorn h*es were the first to comment on this , and now they look like a bunch of RIHt4rds. Proceed with caution!

LMFAO… CRIES @ GRAVEliyah… we are getting foil with these Nicknames.IM glad these rumors arent true even tho i wouldnt put it pass bey to do stuff like this behind the scenes… she knows shes music most valued artist of the now along the likes of Justin T & Adele. I actually think she should wait a year b4 realeasing new material. I hope shes working on 2 albums right now & releases 1 next year spring & the next on the following year winter & then tour in 2019 lol.
…Cuz unlike RIHFUNDED bey can afford long 3-4 yr gaps b/w albums.
DEATH!!! These K** SWALLOWERS calling The Queen a Flop! But if she a flop why Billboard Name her The Top Defining Pop Act of the 2010’s so Far!!!
Taylor, Lady Gaga, Adele and Katy Perry made the ! But what about Thotanna KIII

^^^ LOL i find it interesting that KANYE came at # 2 ahead of ADELE… & Kendrick Nikki & Drake all were on the list but NO RIHFUNDED?????? LMFAO even Katty & Gaga made the list. WHY NO RIFUND when LOUD was like the highest selling black album of the decade so far with 6-7 million sold. Lmao poor rihornes u cant win for LOSING.
KIIIII ????
Excellent news. Stay away from Saartjie’s story. If you want to know about her, read a book don’t expect a stupid movie.
Good. She’s trash. Stay away from the silver screen Beybøla.
All of you have missed the topic at hand about a woman who was exploited. Just to stan war??? Stupid. Who cares whether Beyonce is affiliated or not. I swear, some of you will kill your own self to defend someone who doesn’t know you.
