These days, BeyonceÌ is very private about her personal life and instead of interviews, she chooses to write essays. Because of this, Kelly Rowland grew frustrated as she was constantly asked about her fellow Destiny's Child member during interviews. Looking back at past interviews, there might be signs as to why BeyonceÌ decided to avoid interviews. We'll take a look at one in particular, alongside Extra. Things went off the rails when Bey was asked personal questions, along with constantly being asked about Jay-Z. The interview might the reason as to why BeyonceÌ decided to keep to herself. We also have another example worth mentioning, featuring Bey and her bizarre interview alongside Tyra Banks.
BeyonceÌ Is Expressing Herself Through Music And Essays These Days
According to Nicki Swift, the day BeyonceÌ realized the impact of her interviews, was the day she decided to be a lot more selective with what she chooses to do.
"She has to be studying how effective her interviews have been so far. She may have decided that they do not contribute as dazzlingly to the portrait of Beyoncé as the other stuff. It's a perfectly reasonable decision."
It is also said that BeyonceÌ decided to scale things back when she became a mother, choosing to keep her family life private. BeyonceÌ seems to be comfortable detailing her life on her own terms, like through essays and music. Her recent Renaissance album was an example.
“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” Bey said about her album.
“It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”
Looking back at some of BeyonceÌ's past interview, one in particular might've made her rethink things, especially when it came to answering personal questions.
BeyonceÌ Grew Frustrated During Her Interview With Extra, Given All The Personal Questions She Was Being Asked
The interview has over 5 million views on YouTube. BeyonceÌ sat down with Extra's A.J. Calloway. It became evident early on in the interview that questions were going to be very personal.
"I know you can cook," the host said. BeyonceÌ would also be asked about having children, "Eventually, when it happens it happens," she said.
The interviewer was also adamant on constantly bringing up things about Jay-Z, even asking if he wanted to be a father. It was at that point when BeyonceÌ finally looked upset with the way the interview was going.
Despite the interview going off track, fans for the most part praised the way BeyonceÌ handled it.
One fan writes that there may have been a deeper reason behind BeyonceÌ's mood during the interview and questions.
"I feel bad for her. In her documentary she admitted of losing her child around that time, later 2009, 2010 yet at that time everyone was asking her about kids, she must have been really hurt by that. People can be so nosy and annoying."
Another fan praised BeyonceÌ for not giving in to the personal questions. "That was not even rude. The reporter kept asking her personal questions and then continued to ask questions that only her husband could answer. Men get asked questions about their work and women get asked questions about personal topics like babies and relationships. I would be pissed too."
The interview definitely didn't come across in a positive light - but fans also pointed the finger at another BeyonceÌ interview which went completely off the rails as well.
Beyonce's Interview With Tyra Banks Also Deserves An Honorable Mention As One Of The Worst
BeyonceÌ's interview with Tyra Banks wasn't cruel, but looking back, it was downright bizarre. Banks had a segment called, “Beyoncé My Name, Say My Name."
She also asked some awkward questions over the course of the interview, including is the artist could do a Russian accent... The footage, although edited, is truly hilarious looking back.
Yup, Bey underwent some awkward interviews, and she might be better off with her current circumstances.
