Beyoncé was forced into therapy: Tina Knowles

Beyoncé was not a supportive older sister who grew up.

Her mother Tina Knowles, 71, took a walk down her memory lane in a recent conversation with CNN News Central When she promoted her new memoir Matriarch.

The author, the mother of the Queen of Pop, 43, and Solange, 38, remembered in the interview how she was scared at a time when her daughters grew apart when Beyonce turned 10 years old.

“I was scared when Beyoncé turned to ten,” she admitted first before she remembered, “she could have been ten or eleven and she was in the singing group.”

“And the kids would say that Solange every day, ‘Be quiet, Solange,’ because she wanted to try to choreograph and you know she would be involved. She bossed it too. And they didn’t want her involved.”

“Then I started to note that Beyonce would allow them to talk to her like that. Or she would say, ‘Ok, Mom, can you get Solange out of here? Because she is,'” Tina remembered.

However, Tina immediately corrected Beyoncé about it when she talked about telling her oldest daughter, ” Wait for a moment, this is her house and you have to be good to her. ‘And I told her all the things, you know how important it was to her. “

“Finally, I realized they didn’t listen, and I saw a wall between them coming, and that’s why I got them in therapy,” she told the publication as she revealed her next move: Therapy.

Tina’s then man did not favor the decision when in the early 90s therapy was “really taboo.”

“‘I don’t ask. I find anyone.’ And I found this wonderful therapist, children’s therapist, ”she remembered, telling her then husband as she continued.

“It’s funny because he told Beyoncé all the things I had told her, but she listened from him even though she hated therapy. She hated going. Solange loved therapy. She loved talking and you know, expressed herself.”

“The result was great,” Tina revealed at last.
