Filmmaker Matthew Fulks filed a lawsuit saying that Beyoncé stole the inspiration for Lemonade from him, and Queen Bey just hit back that she doesn't give two fulks. (I had to.)
Perez Hilton reports Fulks claims Bey stole ideas for her visual album from his 2014 short film, Palinoia. Fulks says his film tells a story about a failed relationship, and that Beyoncé's Lemonade does the same. He also says they share similar visual elements, including images of "graffiti and persons with heads down," "red persons with eyes obscured," "parking garage," "black and white eyes," "the grass scene," and "side-lit ominous figures."
Interesting!
However, in new legal docs, Beyoncé calls bullshit. She says Lemonade is about "an African-American woman who progresses through stages of suspicion, denial, anger and, ultimately, reconciliation in her relationship," and that Palinoia is about a "white man who is distressed in the wake of a failed relationship."
And with that, she blew on hot sauce and stomped away into the night.
