Reports surfaced last week claiming that Beyonce’s mom, Tina Lawson, threw shade at Stacey Dash via Instagram. Tina posted a photo of herself with Kelly Rowland, who was dressed as Dash’s Clueless character, Dione. Tina captioned the picture, “This is my baby as Dione last night of course she is prettier and more smart than the one from the movie, but I was confused cause she kept saying something about her page.” She later changed the caption to say, “Lord no shade intended!!!! It was a character in a movie!!!!”
Dash caught wind of Tina’s Instagram post and wrote on her personal blog this past weekend, “Well, you never know what you are going to wake up to, do you? This morning, I awakened to people telling me that Beyoncé’s mom was saying that I was ugly. Here’s the ‘controversy’ generated by Tina Lawson: If one thing runs in Queen Bey’s bloodline, it’s the ability to throw subtle shade and Tina demonstrated her acumen for the art of insult this Halloween, somehow managing to turn a cute costume into a caustic diss. Tina has managed to stay rather close with Kelly Rowland after all these post-Destiny’s Child years and the two apparently got together for Halloween, with Rowland dressed as Dione (the iconic character originally played by Stacey Dash in Clueless).”
She continued, “First of all, if you’re trying to throw shade about someone’s intelligence, maybe use ‘smarter’ instead of ‘more smart’; Here’s the thing — Kelly Rowland is a beautiful girl and I love the costume! Imitation is the best form of flattery. Order my Book, There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative!”
