Filmmaker sues Beyonce and her Record label

Fans of Beyonce Knowles have hit out at news anchor Tomi Lahren for berating the pop star for her black power halftime show at a recently staged event.

The social media account of Lahren has been inundated with invectives by fans of Beyonce calling her a “redneck ass bitch” and “racist cracker” since her harsh critic went viral.

But the online anchor for TheBlaze thinks Beyonce’s fans completely missed her message.

Viewers missed the real point in my eyes; “Beyonce used a violent civil rights group to provoke racial tensions,” she said.

Lahren insists she’s not racist and wants all her haters to know this — “Don’t you dare come at me with your hate and your call to violence and your threats on my life and tell me racism is a one-way street.”
