TimeAmpala Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 https://www.foxella.com/the-truth-is-that-she-is-functionally-illiterate/ Quote This singer is writing a screenplay. So she says. Only… she’s not. “The truth is that [she] is functionally illiterate. I don’t think that people realize that about her. She didn’t graduate from high school, not because she was busy, but because she can’t read or write beyond a second-grade level. When I receive emails or texts from her, it’s like they were written by a child whose native language is not English. It’s just a jumble of words, some bigger than others (as if she is trying to sound intelligent). She does not understand the concepts of grammar or spelling or sentence structure. I sometimes have to ask other people to read the messages and then we piece together what she is trying to say! The thought of her writing a screenplay is laughable. I have never even seen her read a book (although she will pose with one for a photo shoot if required). Never. Not even to [her child/ren]. What she is going to do is lay out the broad strokes of the story and let a ghostwriter handle it. Of course she’ll take all the credit though! She wants that Oscar!!! That’s why she is going to name herself the writer/ producer/star/composer/everything on this project.
Machete Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 This is clearly meant to be written about Beyoncé That being said it is obviously bullshit. She would never even dare to write a screenplay. By the way the Beyoncé “illiterate” accusations come off straight racist at a certain point. It’s one thing to say “she doesn’t write her own music and fakes credits” but to say she can’t read or write beyond a 2nd grade level gives pure microaggression.

PopKills Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 My first thought was Madonna ngl but I don’t think she’s that demented yet I can’t see Beyoncé trying to do a screenplay ngl
WildAmerican Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Baffling that this person thinks the easiest way to an Oscar is to write a screenplay, arguably the snobbiest categories

Blue Monday Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 The only person with a current connection to a screenplay is Taylor (I thought?) and it's pretty clear she's not illiterate, so...

GlamSlam Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Madonna was a straight-A student, so it's definitely not her.
SinnerCity Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Am I missing something? Why are you guys calling Beyoncé illiterate? One thing is to come for her stolen writing credits but something very different is to say someone is illiterate.
sourtwink Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 The narrative that celebrities who didn’t graduate from high school are illiterate is offensive and painfully unfunny. 1. Celebrities who don’t graduate from high school often still get their credits elsewhere, usually through homeschool or “set school.” 2. The vast majority of people are literate long before they graduate from high school. It’s not like people suddenly gain literacy on their graduation day

Klein Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 The way this is clearly about Beyoncé but why tf are people acting like she is illiterate just because she doesn't write her lyrics exactly? This is tiring. Each artists have their own strength, that doesn't mean they're just completely stupid/incompetent in every other area. The only other person I could see this be about is Taylor because of the screenplay comment but at the same time she doesn't have a child (that we know of, and I think we would know about it tbh) and calling her illiterate when she is the main writer in every single one of her song would be plain stupid.

Mirtilo Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 It's Blind Gossip, so obviously they meant to be Beyoncé. They love to spread lies about her. The "blind" was from 2016, and 7 years later Beyoncé never alluded the intention of writing a screenplay https://blindgossip.com/ghostly-illiterate-singer/

She sure loves a film or a story ( Lemonade and Black Is King). I think she has that itch. Anyway that was written to make it sound like Bey or maybe Madge because of her recent IG. Either way, it’s always such a high compliment when people call strategic successful people dumb for not finishing HS. With all their ability to write and read perfectly, why are they not where they should be and writing to blogs about stuff for a penny ? It reminds me of all the illiterate accusations people use to throw at Henry Ford.

I don't think it has to do with her writing her lyrics or not. I think it started with Wendy Williams calling her illiterate because of the way she speaks. Edited March 13, 2023 by Axelios
