Beyonce no longer speaking to her father

Reports suggest that Beyonce is no longer on speaking terms with her manager father. It is bad enough that there have been rumors for years about his soliciting and disrespectful behavior towards his marriage to Beyonce’s mother Tina. But the final straw for Beyonce came when the 60-year-old fathered new son Nixon with 38-year-old Alexsandra Wright, whilst he was still married to Tina. Earlier this year, a DNA test confirmed that little Nixon was in deed fathered by Knowles after an 18-month affair.
Beyonce has always been very close to her mother and is said to have been horrified about the public shame that Knowles inflicted on the rest of the family. Now the New York Post are claiming that executives at her label Columbia are very concerned about their dwindling relationship as they fear it could end up destroying her career.
Matthew guided Beyoncé’s career through her days with Destiny’s Child and is still her manager. According to a music industry insider: “Beyoncé was horrified to find out her dad cheated on her mom. She always looked up to him, and she is very close to her mom, so this has hit her really hard. She is refusing to speak to him, which is making things difficult where it comes to managing her career. Some people at Columbia now think it would be better to move him aside”.
Former “Scrubs” actress Wright filed a paternity suit last October, and a DNA test taken in March confirmed that Knowles was the father of Nixon, who was born on Feb. 4. A judge ordered him to pay $8,200 a month in child support on an interim basis.
Wright, a Los Angeles-based branding executive, claimed that Matthew Knowles, who was married to Tina for 29 years, had an affair with her for a year and a half. Tina filed for divorce last November. Wright and Matthew are now in the final stages of negotiating a child support settlement.
