11 Beyonce’s Depression
Beyonce has been struggling with depression since Destiny’s Child disbanded. She’s even admitted to creating an alter-ego named Sasha. Sasha is fearless, foxy, flirty, and confident. Beyonce doesn’t feel she is any of those things. She’s vulnerable, shy, and longs for a regular life without constantly being in the public’s eye. When Destiny’s Child split up, she didn’t know what to do with hersel
“I didn’t eat,” she said. “I stayed in my room. I was in a really bad place in life, going through that lonely period: ‘Who am I? Who are my friends?’ My life changed.”
It’s hard to imagine Beyonce as a shy, self-conscious girl, and she hasn’t brought it up in many years. More than likely that first period of depression was not the last, with everything she has been through with Jay-Z in the last decade.
10 They’ve Entertained Brutal Dictators
Back in 2009, Beyonce performed for brutal Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi’s New Year party in St. Barths. To be fair, she’s not the first celebrity to make an appearance for Gaddafi. Mariah Carey performed for him the previous year. Muammar Gaddafi isn’t well-liked over in the U.S. He leads with fear and has a long history of violence against women. If there was one smart decision Bey made in this mess, it was taking her husband along with her.
She tried to keep her performance in St. Barths under wraps, but clearly it didn’t work.
When she was caught, she donated all of the money to charity, which would be honorable if she didn’t turn around and perform for his son for $1 or $2 million the following year. Yikes!
