Rumors are circulating in the Big B camp that she is no longer speaking to her Father. If you have not heard, there were recent allegations that Papa Knowles fathered a child outside of his marriage. Well, those allegations have been confirmed via the good ole’ process of D. N. A. Yeah, folks. Beyonce’s Dad is a baby daddy to some woman who is at least ten times his junior. Beyonce is not a happy camper. This makes this whole situation if true a grim and sad one because Beyonce is a self certified Daddy’s girl.

This also brings another question to mind. Is it ever reasonable to not be on speaking terms with a parent due to infidelity? It is different to not speak to a parent because of how they treated you. That is one thing. It is your personal relationship with them. But to end your relationship with them because they cheated on the other parent adds an interesting dynamic to the situation itself. Not only is the other spouse pissed at the cheater but the kids are raising hell as well.

I understand Beyonce’s and any person who has experienced this, anger but shouldn’t her relationship with her Father be a separate entity in itself? The last time I even can recall her ever having a tiff with her Father was when she began dating rapper and once dope boy/ big pimpin Jay –Z. Papa Knowles was not too happy about Jay-Z’s reputation and did not want his baby girl associated with the likes of him. Funny how he now committed an act himself that casts him in an unflattering light. Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? Moving on.

Does any child have the right to ever be upset and completely cut off one parent because of infidelity? In Beyonce’s case, her Dad was the one who got her to superstar status, going as far as quitting his job to focus on her and is a part of the reason that she is the powerhouse brand she is today. Should his devotion to her in that way at least give him some lee-way when he screws up with her mother? Or should she not even get involved in the relationship between her mother and Father? I have freinds who are currently experiencing this with their parents and the magic line “stay out of what goes on between me and your mama” comes into usage often. Is that fair to the child though? Or should it only be considered if the child is young? Interestingly enough Solange Knowles, the more opinionated sister has been quiet as a church mouse since this news hit. I wonder is she taking the same stance as her big sister?

My opinion is that Beyonce has the right to be disappointed in her Father and if she feels she needs to take a break from him in order to maturely handle that disappointment on her own then she has the right to do so. What are your thoughts? Is it okay for a child to cut a cheating parent out of their lives if the other parent does as well? Should the relationships all stay completely separate?
