Tina Knowles Says Beyoncé Can 'Get Mean' Backstage During Tour
Tina Knowles, affectionately known as 'Mama Tina', stopped by the “Sherri” show on Oct 31 where she spilled the backstage Renaissance Tour tea.
Knowles appeared on Sherri Shepherd’s “Sherri’s Halloween Renaissance” episode, where the talk show host recreated several stunning looks from Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour.
Mama Tina, 69, wore a custom sparkling red Telfar bodysuit with thigh-high boots, recreating one of Beyonce's tour outfits.
During the segment, Sherri asked about behind-the-scenes affairs at Beyoncé’s shows. Knowles then revealed that her daughter would sometimes get “mean” during costume changes backstage.
Sherri asked Tina, "When Beyoncé disappears backstage, what's some of the things she goes through?"
"We laughed about this recently because I was saying, 'Girl you get really mean back there,'' replied Knowles. “And I am really happy that I don’t have to be back there anymore, because I used to do the quick change, she added.”
The fashion designer said they used to laugh about it, especially when referring to Beyoncé’s 2006 song, “Flaws and All,” where she sang, “I’m a train wreck in the morning,
I’m a b—h in the afternoon.”
“And I’d be like, ‘in the evening, too,” added Knowles. She said her firstborn would always apologize after the show and would sometimes be in tears.
“She crying ‘cuz she knows she done said some crazy stuff to us,” added Knowles.
