Chile! It’s been less than 48 hours since Jane Doe refiled a sexual assault lawsuit and named Jay-Z as a defendant. But the internet has been on its head ever since, looking for responses from the Carters and their extended family. Beyoncé has yet to speak on the lawsuit, but her mother, Tina Knowles, caused a frenzy with what seemed like some shady social media moves.
After addressing the incident, Tina popped out alongside Beyoncé and Jay-Z to support her granddaughter Blue Ivy at the ‘Mufasa’ movie premiere.

As mentioned, a screenshot put Tina in the viral bucket with her son-in-law on Monday (December 9. Her Instagram account was caught liking a post ABC7Chicago shared about the lawsuit against Jay-Z. The headline read: “Breaking News Jay-Z, Diddy Named in Lawsuit Alleging Rape Of Girl, 13.” One screenshot reposted by The Shade Room shows the post had 341 comments and over 2,400 likes, including Tina Knowles’.
On Monday, Knowles cleared the air with an Instagram feed post. Her note was timestamped: “December 9, 2024, at 1:47 PM” and 1:49 PM. Unlike her son-in-law’s response to the lawsuit, Mama Tina kept her statement short and straightforward.
“I was hacked! As you all know I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me, just know that it is not me!”
In the caption of her post, the X-year-old added, “Please stop playing with me !!!! “No weapon formed against my family shall prosper.”
Hours after shutting down the trolls, Tina Knowles popped out with the Carters to Los Angeles for the Disney film premiere. Mama T wore a matching long-sleeved black top with black slacks. She accessorized with gold bangles, a large gold buckle belt, and her signature red lip. Beyoncé rocked a Balmain gown from their Lion King collection, while Jay-Z wore a dark brown Fendi suit. The star of the night, Blue Ivy, had on a stunning, strapless dark gold gown by Christian Siriano.
The family was all smiles for their celebration of Blue, and Tina Knowles and Jay-Z even posed next to each other on the carpet. Blue, who is 12 now, voices Kiara in ‘Mufasa.’ Swipe below to see the family photos!
In an interview with ‘Good Morning America,’ fans got a lil’ behind-the-scenes look at Blue Ivy and Bey working on ‘Mufasa.’ The singer opened up about how proud she is of her daughter’s first role and even got teary-eyed. Meanwhile, Blue shared that it’s unbelievable that she’s in a movie. Swipe below to see their comments.
Diddy, the first defendant in Jane Doe’s lawsuit, also claims he’s innocent of the rape allegations. A statement from his legal team called the lawsuit and other similar ones from Jane Doe’s lawyer “shameless publicity stunts.”
Jane Doe’s lawsuit marks one of more than ten filed against the super producer in the last year alone. It also follows his latest legal blow regarding his arrest for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.
Last month, Diddy received his third bail denial, which means he will likely spend the holidays inside Brooklyn’s Metro Detention Center. He’s been there since his detainment in September, and his trial isn’t expected to begin until May 2025.
