Tina Knowles says her Instagram account was ‘hacked’
Tina Knowles recently sparked attention after allegedly liking a social media post about serious rape allegations against her son-in-law, Jay-Z. The ABC7 Chicago post highlighted a federal lawsuit in which Jay-Z and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs have been accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at an awards after-party. The post quickly caught the public’s eye due to its controversial nature.
In response to the growing speculation, Knowles took to Instagram to clarify the situation. She denied that she had liked the post. She claimed her account had been “hacked.” In a Instagram post, Knowles wrote, “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, she added, “Please stop playing with me!!!! ‘No weapon formed against my family shall prosper.'”
The lawsuit, filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe, accuses Jay-Z and Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old. The accuser filed the case under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. Both Jay-Z and Combs have denied the allegations, with Jay-Z calling them “idiotic. Meanwhile, Jay-Z is taking legal action in response to the allegations. He requested that the court reveal the identity of the woman who filed the lawsuit. His attorneys argue that Jay-Z deserves to know who is making such severe claims against him.
