Beyoncé Talks About Growing Up As A Celeb

Beyoncé Knowles recently spoke about what it was like to grow up as a celebrity. She mentioned that it was hard to handle all the gossip and rumors 81110P1 that people made up about her, considering her young age.

"The most difficult time for me in my career was definitely when I realized every single thing I did was under scrutiny.”

She says, "When you are 18 years old and everyone has 50 million things to say about what you are doing, things that are rumors or making up things about you, it was really difficult.

But don’t think she couldn’t handle the stress. Beyoncé says that it wasn’t anything to get too fussy about. “To make the transition from being a normal teenager into a young woman in that position is hard but I wouldn’t call that struggle a breakdown."

I think she’s done well. She’s been in the public eye for a little over a decade now, so I think all things considered she doesn’t seem to have let the fame affect her too much.

    Beyonce my dear. I am writing about your comments regarding the Jacksons in ELLe magazine. This is definitely not a rumor. Don’t get me wrong because I do like you, but when did a hairdresser such as your mother and a vacuum salesperson such as your father without the benefit of a college education were ever considered UPPER CLASS. You are a talented and lucky person. There are millions of talented people out there who never get a big break like you. I think its time for you to attend a university, get yourself an education. You made enough money. You need to develop your mind. Having said that, try not to make comments or belittle other blacks who have made it in a hostile society. Many doors that are opened to you were closed to them. Remember you married an ex-drug dealer who made it, how would you like people make comments about your marriage to him. Next time keep those comments to yourself mademoiselle OK. Au revoir. Get a private tutor if you do not wish to attend a university.
