- The new book Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story claims to give a comprehensive look inside power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé’s lives, but it doesn’t even scratch the surface when it comes to the scandals, cheating and violence in their secret world.
In the new issue of In Touch magazine — on newsstands now — sources reveal explosive new details about Beyoncé and husband Jay Z’s private world and the real bombshell secrets they’ve tried to bury.
“The image the public sees of Beyoncé is not the real Beyoncé,” a source tells In Touch. “There’s a side to her and Jay Z’s world that involves drugs, violence and cheating.”

There have been a number of unsavory accusations of infidelity directed toward not only Beyoncé’s husband, Jay Z, but her father, Mathew, as well.
“One day while Jay and Mathew were at the Beverly Wilshire hotel [in Beverly Hills], a prostitute showed up and caused a huge scene out front,” an insider tells In Touchmagazine. “She was screaming wildly that they needed to pay her for [sleeping with] them both.”

“There were endless women around,” adds the insider, “for both Jay Z and Mathew.” And it wasn’t just infidelity. The family also had to deal with Mathew’s abusive behavior. In October 2008, Mathew “lost it” with Beyoncé’s younger sister Solange. “During a sound check and rehearsal in New York, Mathew said that he snapped and threw Solange against a wall, punched her and knocked her out cold,” the insider tells In Touch. (A rep for Solange declined to comment.)

That was the beginning of the end. The insider says that around this time, Mathew secretly drugged his wife and Beyoncé’s mom, Tina, with sleeping pills in an attempt to keep her under his control. Finally, when Mathew’s mistress Alexsandra Wrightrevealed that she was pregnant with his love child in 2009, says the insider, “their marriage was over for good.” The divorce was finalized in 2011, the same year Beyoncé severed business ties with her dad.

Publicist owns up to Rihanna and Jay Z’s cheating rumor that reportedly drove Beyoncé away from rapper
The flack who concocted the bogus Rihanna rumor that nearly sank Jay Z’s romance with Beyoncé apologized publicly Friday to the “Single Ladies” singer.
“I apologized to her … this whole thing is very awkward,” Jonathan Hay said in an email to The Daily News.
Awkward indeed.
Hay, who said he apologized earlier to Jay Z, has branched out from being a publicist to producing his own music.
BIOGRAPHY SPILLS ON MET GALA ELEVATOR FIGHT, JAY Z’S INFIDELITY
He recently uploaded his project, “When Worlds Collide,” to the fledgling music streaming service Tidal, which is owned by Jay Z and Beyoncé.
The cheating rumor is touched on in the tell-all biography ‘Becoming Beyoncé.’
Hay, who was hired by Rihanna’s producer Vada Nobles, issued his belated apology on Inside Edition came after The Daily News obtained a copy of celebrity biographer J. Randy Taraborelli’s tell-all “Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story,” which — among other things — told how he fanned a rumor that Jay Z was cheating with RiRi to give her first single “Pon de Replay” a boost.
“I was blindsided by the news of ‘Becoming Beyoncé’ coming out and it couldn’t come at a worse time for me,” Hay said in a statement. “I’m currently releasing projects with my label Urban Hitchcock through Tidal, a company that is owned by Jay Z and Beyoncé … Hopefully this news hasn’t ruined that relationship for me.”
Hay did not deny pushing what turned out to be a lie.
“The pr stunt that I did was out of desperation to help break ‘Pon de Replay’,” he wrote. “It was reckless and I didn’t think it was going to work. I was just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what would stick.”
But stick it did. And Beyoncé was so upset she split with Jay Z for a “lonely year” in 2005, Taraborelli wrote.
Hay said he never met Taraborelli but spoke with his researcher.
“I didn’t think it would be this big story,” Hay wrote. “But now, seeing Beyoncé on the cover of this book and knowing that people are profiting from speculations and opinions about her really turns my stomach.”
“I’m ashamed that I’m even talking about this. I just want to put this rumor to rest once and for all.”
Rihanna was just 17 and low on the Def Jam totem pole when Hay pulled the “stunt.”
Taraborelli wrote that Jay Z’s had just one complaint when the bogus story about him bedding the Barbadian beauty was being spun out.
“Dude, she’s a minor,” he reportedly said.
