A statement jointly released by Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange to the Associated Press reads thus:
"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.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.
