On the heels of The Standard Hotel claiming to have fired the employee guilty of leaking the footage of Solange physically attacking Jay Z, the family has released a statement of their own.
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,”
“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”
They did not go into detail about the reason behind the altercation. And in true Carter family form, we’ll likely never know. Unless audio from that now infamous elevator ride mysteriously becomes available.
