Earlier this year Beyonce released a statement stating that her father was going to no longer be her manager. This came as a shock as many people (including me) credit Mathew for Beyonce's successful career. The surprising part of ways left many wondering what caused Bey to give her dad the boot. Well now we have our answer.
In exclusive documents obtained by TMZ, Mathew was fired because because was told that he had stolen money from her. Bey had her law firm perform an audit and they too had come to the conclusion that Mathew had stolen money. Mathew of course denies it.
Here' s what TMZ reports:
In the documents -- obtained by TMZ -- Mathew Knowles claims Live Nation Entertainment wanted desperately to sink its fangs into Beyonce's 2011 world tour. According to the docs, Mathew claims Live Nation told Beyonce that Mathew "had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to."
Mathew claims Live Nation was effective, because Beyonce had her law firm conduct an audit, and the law firm concluded Mathew had indeed pilfered money from her. Beyonce then fired him.
Mathew claims after he was canned, Beyonce hired a manager who had worked as a former exec at Live Nation and maintained a relationship with the company.
Mathew insists the theft accusations by Live Nation are false, and he wants the judge to give him the right to take depositions of various people at Live Nation, to determine just how they concluded he was a thief.
Hmmm interesting. I hope for Mathew's sake it's not true.
