No One Is Safe: 13 Celebs Who Fired Their Parents
Beyoncé
After Matthew Knowles’ affair came to light Beyoncé booted her father from his long held position as her manager. Although we all assumed the firing had everything to do with his indiscretion (and still kind of do), Bey claims it was never personal. She told Oprah in 2013:
“…we had our issues. I’d say ‘No’ to something, and he’d book it anyway. Then I’d have to do it because I’d look bad if I didn’t. We would fight sometimes, and it took about two years, to when I was 20, for him to realize, ‘Oh, she is an adult now, and if she doesn’t wanna do something, I can’t make her do it.”
