When this episode passed, he was as “normal” (?!) as the rest of us, until the mania took over again. He stayed holed up in his room for weeks on end and had no contact with anyone. When he crashed into depression, he retreated to his room, avoiding absolutely everyone, declined meals or invitations for even a simple cup of coffee.

When he was manic, he was full of positivity, energetic, uproariously funny adored everybody and wanted to make everyone happy. There was a distinct pattern in his behaviour: At rare times, he was unidentifiable as being bi-polar.

He’d often go off his meds, and whether he’d smoked weed or not, there was never a violent outburst, even though he was going through serious personal and professional issues. Despite being a “passionate and hot-headed Italian”, he never once exhibited violence. My adult, bi-polar nephew lived with me for two years. And I won’t get over it because it affects the way I live my life. And part of that is because people use the term to describe behavior that isn’t due to a diagnosed mental illness. Not trying to be PC, but the stigma attached to being bipolar is tough.

(Yes, I get that this is a gossip site and a lot of what we do is speculation, but this bothers me). But the automatic attribution of the episode to “bipolar issues” is unfair speculation. If Solange is indeed bipolar then that needs to be addressed and treated. My version of the disorder presents differently than the next person’s (for instance, people have mentioned weed having a bad effect on bipolar people, I am the opposite – it is wonderful to me).īut as someone who struggles with bipolar disorder and is managing it quite well (at the moment) and living a “normal” life, I am quite offended by how fast and loose people are with that label.

Some of Bey’s Instagram posts from the Met Gala: She assaulted him repeatedly within the span of less than four minutes. It doesn’t matter than she’s a woman and he’s a man, it doesn’t matter if she had a “reason” to be mad at him. Incidentally, as I thought I made clear yesterday… what Solange did was straight-up assault.

Radar also has a breakdown of Bey and Jay’s marriage, which they claim involves a lot of fights and name-calling. Us Weekly says Solange also got into an argument with designer Rachel Roy at the Met Gala, so it seems like Solange was already in a pissy mood, I think.

Meanwhile, Radar points out that Solange has a history of “erratic behavior” and that she canceled her tour last summer “amid rumors of drug use.” Solange has always maintained she smokes the weed, but I get the feeling she uses harder stuff than the occasional joint. The hotel is pissed that someone on the security staff leaked a second hand copy of the tape (TMZ’s video is clearly someone making a copy of the surveillance footage on their phone or something). Page Six has a lengthy analysis of the tape (they didn’t get any further with it than we did), but they did speak to The Standard Hotel (which is where this took place, after the Met Gala). Like he was about to get smacked or kicked again. She was telling him off for something, and Beyonce looked uncomfortable and Jay looked… well, on guard, I guess. Even when the security guard put her in the corner, as far away from Jay as possible, she kept creeping in with that finger waving around. It’s now clear that Beyonce really did try to act as a buffer between her sister and her husband several times during the fight and it’s clear that whatever was happening, Solange was not going to let it go. Here’s the full-length video (again, there’s no sound, curse the heavens!). It also gives more insight into the dynamics of what is going on between Jay, Solange and Beyonce. Shortly after TMZ released the bombshell elevator security clip of Solange Knowles attacking Jay-Z, TMZ dropped the “full-length” three-minute version, which pretty much shows the whole elevator ride in real time.
