Beyonce Knowles has finally brought out the kitty out of her bag. She has revealed how difficult the times were when she was the lead singer for Destiny’s Child. She insisted that she was not the one to blame. In 1999 LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson broke out of the band. Both of them filed suit against the band’s manager and Knowles’ father, Matthew, claiming favoritism.

The singer said that she was young then and was definitely an easy target. So everyone had blamed her for their departure. Knowles and band mate Kelly Rowland had already risen to superstardom with new member Michelle Williams. She said she and her father had tried to bring together the band which lived like a family all the time they were a band.

She said she was to be blamed because she was the lead singer : “…That was the first time I had to deal with rumors and people attacking me. I was an 18-year-old kid, so I didn’t understand it was just a part of this life and it wasn’t personal. I didn’t have a thick skin yet. I was so embarrassed and wanted to defend myself and please everybody.”

The Destiny’s Child trio eventually parted ways in 2005. And Beyonce is not the one to take the pain of all the “blame game”. Her opening up about the split proves her being on the denial side. Till then we can count on the other former band members’ reactions after they read about it all !
