Tina Knowles’ Mea Culpa
Plunged into controversy because of her like, Tina Knowles finally spoke up to make her mea culpa. Indeed, the 70-year-old woman indicated that she accidentally added a “like” to publications without reading them before specifying that she would “never make” this mistake again.
Furthermore, Tina Knowles was keen to certify that she considered the Jacksons as “her first musical family”. “I love them and I respect them,” she wrote via her social networks. And to add: “I am saddened by this. Janet Jackson is an icon and I will never question another artist. I took Destiny’s Child to see Janet when they were 15. They always looked up to her and she opened doors to Beyoncé. Why would I hate her? I know now not to be in a hurry and to be very careful. (I learned my lessonnot) ! Especially when there’s so much going on…I just wanted to clarify.”
