 The joint statement of Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange reads:

“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it, Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”

“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”

Also, the Standard Hotel has announced that they have fired the person who leaked the surveillance video of Solange Knowles physically attacking Jay Z in an elevator at the hotel. The person in question, recorded the live feed from the security office from their cell phone, and then forwarded it over to TMZ. The video was sold to TMZ for $250,000 after being shopped around for nearly five days to the highest bidder.

Solange & Beyonce both broke their silence and uploaded numerous old school pictures of themselves posing together on their instagram accounts.
