The Standard Hotel has fired a person who leaked a surveillance video of Solange Knowles attacking Jay-Z in one of its elevators to media. As reported by The Associated Press, the hotel has identified the employee. The person no longer works in the hotel for “breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video.”
On May 12, TMZ posted the 3-minute video showing a fight involving a man and a woman who presumably are Jay-Z and Solange. Solange lounged at the rapper while another woman who is presumably Beyonce Knowles did not meddle in their feud. Another man who apparently is their bodyguard tried to prevent Solange from attacking her brother-in-law.
Shortly after the video, which was recorded during the night of Met Gala, went viral, the hotel released a statement saying that they would investigate into the matter.
According to New York Daily News, the fight happened because Solange did not like the way the rapper acted around designer Rachel Roy at the Met Gala.
