It’s widely known that Beyoncé and Bianca Lawson became stepsisters when their parents, Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson, tied the knot. Every morning, like clockwork, they rise at 5:45 for a dance workout at 7:00. But what many might not realize is the somewhat tangled history that initially kept Beyoncé and Bianca from forging a close bond. Curious about the details? Stick around for some piping hot gossip.
Given their shared spotlight and famous lineage, one might expect more interaction between Beyoncé and Bianca, especially post their parents’ marriage. Yet, such encounters have been rare. One notable moment occurred in 2021 when Bianca was among those gifted with Beyoncé’s Adidas X Ivy Park collection. Another instance was during a 2018 red carpet event when Bianca tactfully sidestepped favoritism between Beyoncé and Solange, emphasizing their distinctiveness while praising both as extraordinary and iconic. Apart from these glimpses, their connection remains relatively low-key.
So, what went down there? Well, one theory floating around about why Bianca and Beyoncé were seldom seen together was Bianca’s desire to step out of Beyoncé’s shadow. Take a look at poor Solange’s situation; she’s often overshadowed by Beyoncé, even though, truth be told, Solange has penned most of Beyoncé’s hits. “Solange wrote this, Beyoncé could never write this. Is a monster, all Beyoncé got, know is, be a better mother.” Ugh! Bianca, on her end, boasts an impressive resume in acting, having appeared in numerous productions. But once her dad got involved with Tina Knowles, Bianca suddenly became known as Beyoncé’s stepsister. There were even murmurs about Bianca looking more like Beyoncé’s sister than Solange, which likely didn’t sit well with her. Perhaps Bianca came to realize that distancing herself from Beyoncé was the only way to escape constant association with her. And supposedly, that’s not the sole reason behind Bianca’s decision to keep her distance from Beyoncé.
It might surprise you to discover that despite the lack of public news featuring both Beyoncé and Bianca, there was quite a bit transpiring behind the scenes, and it wasn’t all pleasant. Have you heard the latest gossip about Bianca allegedly biting Beyoncé? Here’s the scoop: Tiffany Haddish encountered Beyoncé and Jay-Z during a social gathering in 2018, where another actress seemed overly attentive to Jay-Z. Sensing trouble, Beyoncé intervened, but things didn’t go smoothly. According to Tiffany’s account to GQ, Beyoncé abruptly left, beckoned Jay-Z aside, and then, to Tiffany’s shock, it was revealed that Beyoncé had been bitten. Later, Tiffany approached Beyoncé at the bar and asked about the incident, to which Beyoncé confirmed it had indeed occurred. However, she urged Tiffany not to escalate the situation, implying that the actress in question was under the influence of drugs. Despite speculation implicating Solange in the biting incident, she vehemently denied it on Twitter, humorously remarking that if she had bitten Beyoncé, it would have been a “love bite.”
Interestingly, Richard Lawson addressed the biting incident, urging people to move on. His involvement was unexpected, sparking speculation that he was shielding someone, particularly his daughter Bianca. Although nothing was confirmed, many perceived Bianca as the likely culprit, earning her the playful nickname “vampire.” The strained relationship between Beyoncé and Bianca allegedly stemmed from Tina Knowles’ treatment of Richard Lawson. Rumors abound that Tina’s treatment of Bianca’s father took a toll, suggesting Bianca witnessed the strain. It’s speculated that after enduring humiliation, Bianca distanced herself from the family. Regarding disrespect, fans point to interviews where Tina seemingly lacked respect for Richard Lawson. While Tina’s comments about Richard being imperfect were misconstrued, it was the delivery that left him feeling disappointed and embarrassed.
And you know what? There’s a chance Bianca feels like Beyoncé’s mother is the one who disrupted her family. If you’re among those who believe Tina and Richard only got together after their divorces, think again, dear. Their history goes further back. Richard once confessed that Tina left him breathless the first time he saw her. He held onto those feelings for quite some time, admitting, “The thing that struck me was how your beauty was complemented by your incredible heart, compassion, empathy, generosity, and philanthropy. You were expecting Beyoncé and married at the time, so my attraction for you could only exist in my imagination.” In 2022, Tina revealed she’d known Richard for 40 years, suggesting they met in the ’80s when he was still married to Denise Gordy, Bianca’s mother. So, if Richard was captivated by Tina while still with Bianca’s mom, it suggests those feelings developed during that time. Imagine being in Bianca’s shoes. Would you cozy up to the daughter of someone your father loved when he was still married to your mother? Probably not. And if you’re seeking evidence of something brewing between Tina and Richard during Richard’s marriage to Bianca’s mom, look no further than David Lee Brewer’s revealing book “Beyoncé: Raising Genius, A Teacher, and His Prodigy.” He recounted Tina’s affair with Richard, recalling, “I stumbled upon Celestine kissing a man. I recognized him immediately: Richard Lawson, a famous actor.” Celestine, caught off guard, had to introduce Richard. Awkward, indeed. She was supposed to be at her salon. I greeted Richard, expressing my admiration for his work.” Mr. Matthew wasn’t the only one straying from the marriage. As David Lee disclosed, Tina was also involved with Bianca’s dad. Perhaps Bianca has been aware of this for some time. So, it’s understandable why she’d keep her distance from Beyoncé.
Let’s face it, folks. Beyoncé’s track record speaks volumes. She’s never recognized her half-siblings, her own flesh and blood. So why assume she’d suddenly embrace a stepsister? Take Nixon, her half-brother born to Alexandra Wright. When news broke, it wasn’t about warmth; it was about his mother struggling to get child support from Matthew. Their situation got so dire that they ended up in a homeless shelter. Then there’s Koy, another half-sibling from Taqoya Branscomb, whom Matthew also disowned. Remember when Taqoya confronted him about the pregnancy? His response was denial: “You can’t get pregnant by me.” Sure, some might argue Beyoncé shouldn’t be held responsible for her dad’s actions. But does that justify her complete disconnection from her half-siblings? They didn’t choose this mess either. Many have urged Beyoncé to acknowledge them because, well, family is family. If she can’t even recognize her own blood, what chance does Bianca, the stepsister, have? Not that Bianca necessarily craves it, but you catch my drift, right?
“There could have been numerous factors contributing to the strained relationship between Bianca and B. Do you reckon Bianca simply wanted to steer clear of the Knowles’ drama? Perhaps she harbors resentment, believing that B’s family somehow caused harm to her own? Could it be that Bianca felt uneasy knowing about her dad’s alleged affair with Tina, B’s mom? Or maybe Beyoncé deliberately excluded her, reminiscent of how she’s treated her half-siblings? I’m eager to hear your thoughts on this, so feel free to share in the comments section below.”
