Back in February, we reported that Alexsandra Wright, the mother of Matthew Knowles’ son Nixon, spoke to “Inside Edition” about the lack of child support she was receiving and the fact that he had completely turned his back on his child.
And even though she claimed then that Beyoncé shouldn’t be held responsible for her father’s actions or taking care of Nixon, like Matthew originally suggested, today she’s singing a different tune.
In a recent interview with In Touch, Wright claims that both she and Nixon are living in a homeless shelter in the LA area.
Wright told “Inside Edition” that she’s struggling financially and no one in the Knowles family has offered to help them find a home. She says, “Nixon deserves to know his family, and I hope one day he will meet his sister Beyoncé.”
Last month, a judge ruled that since the 63 year old Knowles lost his job as Beyoncé’s manager, his child support payments should be reduced from $12,000 to $2,400 per month.
The ruling means he won’t have to make another payment for another two years. Finally, Wright says, in a damning statement, “I can’t imagine how Beyoncé feels knowing she has a homeless brother. I know if I were in the same position, I would reach out. Maybe she is too busy.”
Sigh.
This is such a mess right. Can you imagine being held accountable for the child your father had while he was cheating on your mother? Geez.
I’m conflicted on this one. A large part of me thinks that Alexsandra Wright is a messy opportunist with questionable morals. But I can understand her point about Beyoncé and Solange at least meeting their baby brother. And if Wright is indeed homeless, it would only be right for someone to help.
But that’s just me. What do you make of the situation? How would you handle this if this were your family?
