R&B superstar Beyonce had one the more difficult chapters of her life retold on television hours ago, when hit show ‘Law & Order: SVU‘ featured a story akin to “Elevator-Gate” in their new season.

Surprising news below…

Named ‘American Disgrace‘, the episode (which aired Wednesday) featured a storyline pulled from real life drama experienced by the ‘Crazy in Love‘ singer, reaching the public’s attention when footage emerged of her sister Solange attacking her husband Jay Z in an NYC elevator in the May of this year.

Also inspired by the Donald Sterling’s racist recording scandal, the episode’s Beyonce-driven storyline saw it pull in 7.73 million viewers, despite facing criticism from some fans of the star who blasted the show for pulling from the controversial story.

Did you catch the episode?

Weigh in on it below!

    I see how this site is still avoiding making that post about how the OTR HBO special flopped!

      guess i didnt have to wait

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. October 3, 2014

      Of course it flopped! I tried to tell Beyoncé that no good can come from association with a basic swagger-jacking b**** like Flopnika Garbaj! *sips tea*

      lol..who cares about how the HBO special flop?! no one..that’s why no one is talking about it but ya’ll…at least they had a special to flop. How many artist have their concert air on HBO these days? Life is about trying new things, which Jay and Bey did. Sometimes it doesn’t work out the way you’d hope, but at least you tried ya know. Please stop trying to magnify something that didn’t work out for them. It makes u seem like a major hater. Cuz at they end of the day they are work $1 Billion – ONE BILLION!!!!!! Soooooo i don’t think ur point matters. AT ALL!! #losers #geturlife #smh #yourejustmad #hahahahahahaha

        No mames. Now that she flopped, it shouldn’t be magnified, but this viewership will be blown outta proportion by you BeyHive like forever.

        The reach.

      • JazThatBoi October 3, 2014

        I wouldn’t say I’m part of the Beyhive. I don’t follow Bey like that. Im just saying its funny how ppl like to point out the negative in other ppl’s lives. Not realizing the negatives in their own lives. For anyone to say a freakin HBO special flopped means nothing because Bey’s career didnt end because of it. AT ALL. its like you have to try to find something to hate on to make yourself relevant. Its sad. (this goes for anyone being hated on not just Bey).

  2. Nicki is queen October 3, 2014

    Child y’all reaching for the stars. No shade but why y’all didn’t post on Bey HBO views but you post this. Stop with this bias crap right is right and wrong is wrong. This is one of the main reason people Hate on Bey, cause of stuff like this. Stop reaching for the stars and keep it cute and fair.

  10. Amy October 3, 2014

    Are you serious, so now everytime a Tv show or Film has a scene where ppl fight in the lift are we seriously going to praise Beyonce and say it’s because of Beyonce it’s a box office hit even tho it has nothing to do with her!!!

  18. blue October 3, 2014

    i sometimes wonder if the writers on this blog are ever really fans or hater of who they seem to hate and stan for… Cause they see, to enjoy inspiring their readers to hate on those they claim to stan for and defend those they hate.
    Take the case of the way they report on rihta and bey….as the reader you cant help but want to tear down the delusion and endless nonsensical praise and defend people like rihanna from their tiring hate.

  19. LiveLaughLove October 3, 2014

    IDKW but this show annoys me take inspiration from real life incidents/crimes/situations. I just wish they would make up their own types of crimes, maybe they wouldn’t be so obvious. And PS: I thought this was based off Ray Rice incident as well.

  20. LOL October 3, 2014

    LOL THIS ONE IS TOO EASY, I’M NOT EVEN GONNA LOL

  21. cmplxbeing October 3, 2014

    I find it absolutely HILARIOUS that this site can post about an “Beyoncé inspired” episode of Law & Order but someone fail to mention those numbers that the OTR Tour pulled in!! Shade much? Ms. Sam girl the tea is Law & Order ALWAYS pulls in these numbers so don’t for one single second that the “Beyoncé inspired” episode did this! Check your ratings boo!! #please & #thankyou

    • Iamdiego October 3, 2014

  23. Christobal26 October 3, 2014

    This is about Ray Rice… Not Beyonce! I swear they think everything revolves around Bey! Sam turn on the actual news instead of TMZ and you may learn something…

    • credits October 3, 2014

  24. madbrax October 3, 2014
