Umm no boo. If I just had a baby I wouldn’t care who else was in that hospital, I would want to see my child. Their baby is a baby like any other. The special treatment should not have come at the expense of other parents.

I agree. Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby is no more precious than any other couple’s.

But having the hospital put tape over the security camera is extremely dangerous as well as any baby could have been kidnapped from that hospital and if i had a baby in that unit i would not care if prince william and kate were having a baby in that hospital i would knee the guard in the nutz and walk around them and how is it britney spears christina aguilera celebs like them can go in and give birth without these problems!

Why even bring up racial discrimination? That’s ridiculous!

Those other people’s babies are in NICU, which means they’re pretty sick or preemies or whatever. If this is true then they had EVERY right to see their babies. Beyonce is no better and shouldn’t have had her baby in a hospital if they were so worried. My youngest spent 8 days in the NICU and it’s one of the hardest things I have ever been through. It’s not easy seeing your baby hooked up to machines and not being able to hold her any time you want. I don’t care if it’s Beyonce, the president or anybody else, they had no right.

youre obviously one of those crazy ass delusional beyonce fans, keep that shit on youtube.

For all the money they spent making modifications to the hospital (bullet proof glass wtf?) they could have just converted a room in their mansion into a make shift hospital and she could have given birth there instead of inconveniencing other parents.. Just because they’re famous doesn’t make their baby any more special than any other baby born there at the same time. And to prevent other parents from seeing their babies or even taking pictures of their own babies is incredibly selfish.. Honestly I wish those 2 would just fade into oblivion.. They’re so annoying!

Race is an issue. Stop running from the truth.

As a matter of fact I am not a DELUSIONAL Beyonce fan. I know the truth when I see it. The USA is a prejudice place to live. Be Black and find out.

They haven’t done anything to you. Blacks have rights just as anybody else in the USA, even though, they don’t want them to have it.

This is sick. It’s disrespectful and completely unfair. Who the hell do they think they are. Not even angelina and brad pitt made a big spectacle of their baby, and their more famous. Jay-Z and Beyonce have no class and definitely could care less about other people. SHAME

How is it racial discrimination when the woman who complained was also Black?

You don’t know what happened. That might be another story like MIchael Jackson’s, someone who wants money for the sake of a LIE. She probably figures that her word would be better than any Black anyway. People are saying to me how do I know this woman is White. Then I say to them, how do you know that this actually happened. If I don’t know the color of this woman’s skin, then you don’t know that this happened. You are probably one of those people who started hating on her before she had the baby. I hope you are not one of those who thinks that it’s too good for her to take time off from dancing and singing to have a baby. Her child has a place in this life like anyone else. That baby is here and was meant to be here. You people don’t have any control of that.

How can you doubt anything? You don’t know that this happened. It is under investigation now. I bet this woman is a prejudice RAT. I consider your statement STUPID.

That was awhile back. People did Beyonce really bad before she went to the hospital. The way she was treated, I would do the same. People are more hateful and destructive nowadays. They don’t want to see a Black have or do anything in authority. I am speaking the truth.

No matter who the Black is, Whites think that they have no class. In hospitals and everywhere they would overlook you if you are Black. They always think that Blacks no matter who they are have no class. They are just like Whites, some have class and some don’t. Beyonce is a very nice person. I say she does have CLASS..

I am not a hater! Grow up a little before you start a conversation you really know nothing about, outside of your little world. You think black people are the only ones who went through the torture that was going on when the Europeans first came to America? Indians were slaughtered by the MILLIONS, Hispanics were punished for speaking in the native tongue. Hispanics and Indians were not allowed to eat where whites did, or anything else for that matter. I am a member of BOTH of those races. Maybe you should find out a little more about the person you are attempting to call a hater or racist before you open your big mouth. My Native American ancestors were wiped off the face of this earth a long time ago, so don’t you dare try to paint me as a hater or racist when you know nothing about me. You are very ignorant and I will respond to you no longer!

I mean, I get why she might’ve needed the extra security, but have them stand at your door and not anywhere else. Shoot–I would’ve brought hell and fire if someone kept me from my child!!!

@Trusty – Talk about racist. Your probably the biggest of them all. The hospital is at fault.

whats up miggas?

WTF, who cares, they are just singers, this makes them no better than we are, and their child is just as special as ours, and they shouldn’t get special treatment. Again just like government and politics, money talks! Shame on the hospital, I’d take the hospital for all I could.

true that!!they should have some privacy so they can make it safe for their newborn.

Trusty, I am starting to think you are the ONLY person on this thread who is racist. Can you please step back a moment and look at what is being said by everyone? No one is talking about race except in response to YOU. I have no idea what race you are, and you know what? I don’t care. Not because I’m racist, but because I’m NOT racist. Your race is IRRELEVANT to me. Because RACE does not define an individual. You also have no idea what my race is, and that also does not matter. NO one here is saying that racism isn’t sadly alive, and all too common still on American soil. It is. BUT it has nothing to do with this particular case. Do bring it in where it doesn’t belong, if you truly want racism to DIE in America, it needs to stop being perpetuated on BOTH sides. God help this country!

I’m black, and I think you’re stiring up rascism issues that don’t exsist. It’s people like you that make this world a hateful racist place to live. Grow up!!

You think they are lying about what? About not being able to see their baby? Or about taping the cameras?
Besides, they didn’t sue Beyonce, did they? As you said, it was hospital’s fault and they made a complaint against the hospital!
(Unless it was literally Beyonce hired security who denied the access, then they might have a case against her, but it looks like it was hospital staff)

It’s special time for anybody to have a baby, and for those woman to be treated like they are nothing? Like they and their babies don’t matter? It would leave a bitter taste into my mouth!

Honey,
I do not know what has happened to you in your life, but I will say that I am sorry! I am Black. I am a professional. I never thought of race being the issue. I have a two year old son. Thank God he was born healthy and happy. But if he were in the NICU I would have been in jail if they did not let me see my son. As to the Black/White issue, I have not heard of any White Celebrities going to these measures. Maybe you belive they needed it because they are Black. I really don’t know. I do know I wouldn’t have cared if the Pope had a baby. I would want to see mine.

If they were that concerned about their privacy they should have set up a maternity ward in their own mansion. God knows they can afford it.

This has nothing to do about race. So let me give other examples, Mary J Blige, Alicia keys, Halle Berry. They never made such a spectacle of their baby. And I may also add that I am married to an African american and he also agrees. It’s just a note that jay-z and beyonce forget about the regular people who are not rich and are the ones that made them famous. This isn’t about racism. People just add that as an excuse to defend jay-z and beyonce’s actions.

Hospital Should Be Shut Down For Closing Off a Whole Floor & Turning away people… needs some new management or something.

Jealous??? Please!!! They covered the security cameras to accommodate her. That is a security risk and should have NOT been done. Beyonce went over the top with her diva crap. If YOU don’t understand, then you must not have children. I don’t care who in the hell is in the hospital having a child but MY child is JUST as important as theirs. If she had the money to blow on her special treatment at the hospital then she should have set up a birthing camp at HER house!

Damn right Janet!!!!

RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST RACIST

and a whiney ass racist at that! Man up and stop trying to blame sheet where it does NOT belong!

Truth???? Lol! You wouldn’t know truth if it slapped you upside the head.

Damn right Rob!!!! And helllloooo….the Africans sold off their own people for rocks and marbles! Yeah, slavery is/was VERY wrong! Racism is disgusting…but you know what….it goes both ways and the blame isn’t solely on the white man! There were many many whites that risked their own lives and the lives of their families to help the slaves. I’m not saying, hey give the whites a cookie…no. What I AM saying is that not everyone cares about color….something that everyone should remember. Instead of accusing others of being racist they need to face reality and see the truth.

LoL! You go Janet! =:o)

I’m a fair weather fan of Beyonce, enjoying her music when I happen to hear it. (Had to go back to the story to see how Jay-Z spells his name)

Yet I understand why they hired private security. To protect their baby and themselves from the kooks that stalk celebrities, as well as the paparazzi who hound them. I would not be surprised if they tried to sneak in, posing as new fathers, visiting family…

The hospital should have stepped in and coordinated an ID system for the other patients and visitors or had some plan in place where the private security had to answer to the hospital’s security. Seems the private security acted over-zealously with no oversight.

Taping the security cameras was an outrage. The hospital should be fined heavily for bowing to that pressure.

I couldn’t agree more Emma!

I have read alot of the complaints-and they were legitimate. I doubt if the majority of the patients there could give a rats a$$ that they were there. IF-the security cameras were taped over-I hope the Hospital gets a nice big fine-the reason why they installed security cameras in the nursery area was because of outsiders coming in and stealing someone else’s baby. IDIOTS. If this couple wanted so much security and privacy-they should have GONE TO A HOSPITAL where they could get a wing to themselves. And though I left nursing 10 years ago, all the hospitals in NY were closing down wings, etc. Better yet, Mayor Bloomberg said they were paying good money, SO THEY SHOULD HAVE LEEWAY with their actions. He was saying that they paid ‘full price’ while others do not (medicaid???) So, according to BLOOMBERG -the richer you are the better treatment you get.

you are speaking as an ignorant person. not the truth. please remove that chip off your shoulder and get a clue.

Look at how your president is being treated. He did what they couldn’t do. Now they have gotten what they wanted and ready to throw him out. He got Ben Laden and brought the troops home from Iraq. I bet they won’t give him credit for that. He did a BIG deed and they HATE him. You need to read Black history and in the area of the Reconstruction Days after the Civil War.

What!!!!!

you moron.

I am non-angry also, but brave enough to face and tell the truth. I don’t live in a “fantasy land”. Race to me is not “THE” issue, but is “A” issue in the USA and always will be. Look at how the president of the USA was called all kinds of racist names while being president. Blacks are not the so- called “superior” race in the USA but the so called “inferior” race here because the population is so few. If this man named Romney so have a way to “cure” the economy, then why does he have to run for president to cure it? Why didn’t he help the president before when he was asking for help? If Romney would make such a great president, then why didn’t he help to restore the economy so that people would have jobs before and now, etc? I know politics is a dirty game, but it’s the American people that are at stake here, not some political party. You think of the country first, collectively. I am not a so called angry person but concerned about how people, not so much Blacks are treated. I am speaking of Beyonce because she happens to be a very nice Black person.

I think that Beyonce needed security because she went through so much before having the baby. She was treated awful while she was pregnant. I think it’s awful to treat any woman bad while she is pregnant. A baby in it’s prenatal stage is very real and a mother needs to be calm and relaxed, so that the baby wouldn’t be disturbed. How would they like for someone to treat their relative like that while pregnant? Well, she is human just like anyone else. People at one time use to honor women when they were pregnant because they believed they were very close to death. I have a sister who gave birth and hemorrhaged almost to death. People had no regards for Beyonce being pregnant. Where were these organizations when she needed them that could help the situation?

I read the complaints and no complaint was about not being able to see their baby in the NICU. The complaints were about being delayed for a minute or two because a hallway was blocked off for a minute while Beyonce and Jay Z passed through. I still see that as a legitimate complaint, but not anywhere near the level of seriousness as being barred from seeing ones child.

You and I are on the same wavelength here. I would think any loving parent would want to see if their kid in the hospital was okay. I know I would

Every child anywhere is important to their parents, parent

he’s not my president i’m Canadian and he did do a big deed and alot of people appreciate what he did because he did something bush could not do and he’s been given alot of credit for that if he didnt people would not have piled outside the white house when bin laden was killed alot of people respect him and alot has changed since the civil war area the point is in this situation when it comes to a child espeically a newborn it dont matter who you are no one has the right to stop you from seeing them and look at when johnny depps daughter was in the hospital a couple years ago with blood posioning HE is a hell of alot bigger and richer then those two did he stop parents from seeing there children while his child was in the childrens ward no instead he had his jack sparrow costume flown in and went to the hospital to entertain the other children as a thank you for what the doctors did for his daughter but he didnt have goons block off the whole floor if jz and beyonce are that worried they have the money have your child in your home what they did is just plain mean its not about race it has nothing in the world to do with race its about thinkin your better then an average person and deserve more it was cruel and mean simple as that

People probably treat you that way but not because you’re black. Because you’re ignorant.

We have a black President in case you’re too delusional to figure that out who was elected by MANY white people as well as black. Find something else to whine about.

Everyone is missing one main thing. The hospital should be held responsible for allowing any of this to happen. I am aware that due to their star status private security should have been their. But renting a floor and transferring patients (if its true) is not fair. Isn’t there private delivery rooms there. Why not hire a midwife or have a Dr do a housecall at there home. I would be upset also to be moved and unable to see my child. As far as the tape over the camaras why is their safety more important then others. But any amount of money should not have persuaded the hospital to allow this to happen. Just my opinion….

PLEASE DON’T FEED THE TROLL ANYMORE!!

What!!! LOL

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A Cincinnati landlord who claimed a black girl’s hair products clouded an apartment complex’s swimming pool discriminated against the child by posting a poolside “White Only” sign, an Ohio civil rights panel said Thursday in upholding a previous finding.

The Ohio Civil Rights Commission voted 4-0 against reconsidering its finding from last fall. There was no discussion.

The group found on Sept. 29 that Jamie Hein, who is white, violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act by posting the sign at a pool at the duplex where the teenage girl was visiting her parents.

The parents filed a discrimination charge with the commission and moved out of the duplex in the racially diverse city to “avoid subjecting their family to further humiliating treatment,” the commission said in a release announcing its finding.

An investigation revealed that Hein in May posted on the gated entrance to the pool an iron sign that stated “Public Swimming Pool, White Only,” the commission statement said.

Several witnesses confirmed that the sign was posted, and the landlord indicated that she posted it because the girl used chemicals in her hair that would make the pool “cloudy,” according to the commission.

Hein told the commission she received the sign from a friend, and Ronnell Tomlinson, the commission’s housing enforcement director, said at Thursday’s hearing it was an antique. The sign says “Selma, Ala.,” at the bottom, followed by the date “14 July 31.”

The girl’s father, Michael Gunn, in brief comments Thursday, described his shock last spring when venturing out for a lunch break by the pool.

“My initial reaction to seeing the sign was of shock, disgust and outrage,” Gunn said. He also told the commission that his daughter was saddened months later to learn the reason they moved from the apartment complex “was in a way related to the color of her skin.” Gunn declined to speak with reporters.

Did you see how she was treated by haters before she even went into the hospital?

I don’t believe you are Black. If so what are you running from? You are the idiot. Your behind is afraid. Who can you tell to shut up?

If I was those parents who couldn’t see their baby because of all the security I would be pissed too! Point blank. It has nothing to do with anything else. Become a parent first then you talk.

Pretty stupid comment and an ignorant, unnecessarily beligerent attitude. This is not about race. It’s about family members wanting to – having the RIGHT to – see their sick infants and being barred from the area.

I like Beyonce. Everyone I know likes Beyonce and admire the solid relationship she and JZ have. Personally, I’m thrilled she got her wish and hope she and JZ enjoy parenthood.

YOU are the one making such UGLY comments and taking it to places it didn’t need to go with your nasty imagination. Don’t put words in other people’s mouths and ugly thoughts in other people’s heads.

WHAT?????????

Actually, I (and I believe a vast mayority of the people posting) think that your comments are beyond stupid. You obviously have not had children yet or you wouldn’t write crap like you did. Please keep it that way and don’t procreate for the sake of humanity.

You need to lay off Law and Order. Beonce has the right to protect her baby just as much as other people have to right to get to their babies.
Why do you keep calling the other woman “old”? Do you know her age? Do you have the inside scoop? You seem quite ignorant to me, sorry!!!!! You should keep yor fingers from posting stupid crap.

It does not make anyone nerveous, it’s just annoying for you to keep riding on this shit. Shut the h$#l up.

I know….because not being allowed to see your sick baby in the NICU is not a good enough reason, they HAD to be prejudice to complain. Give me a break!

Candice means that we should not feed you our attention because then you just keep up the bullshit.
You need help.

I BET YOUR NOT EVEN BLACK. I suppose u find this very entertainig. When you bring up this kind of issues, it isn.t. Get a life.

I totally agree. They could have even gone to a private birthing center where they could’ve kept everything private and rented out the center instead of a hospital. What would’ve happened if one of those babies passed away during this time and the parents couldn’t be there? I would be upset. I already am considering I did have a baby that had to go into the NICU. I just think it’s selfish. They chose this career and profession, so they should have accounted for this happening.

I have always loved Beyonce. I thought she is a humble person but i guess not any more. I’m a mother myself and frankly speaking, why make such a big sin for giving birth. A hospital is for sick people and if you feel you want more privacy than what they have then go to some private center or do it at home. Even renting the whole floor for her self is wrong. its been inconsiderate of other people. SHE IS SELFISH AND INCONSIDERATE! the whole world knows that they have money and can do anything but do it right. Health is more important than money, they could have all the money but if they give birth to a mental case child so be it. God forbide! but they should know that are babies are as important as theirs, momey or no money.
It seems is was all a publicity thing and all about money. for some of us, we value life more.

Her baby is no more important or special than any other baby. The fact that there is a higher risk to her security is based on the life that she chose to live and in the career that she sought to pursue. When in the public arena, she has to play by the rules like everyone else. No other parents had a right to be denied access to their children and since several couples have come forward, then I’m inclined to believe that this is the case. She could come out and set the record straight, but like the allegations of her copying material from other artists (which turned out to be true), she habitually remains silent. I blame her fans for propping her up like she’s indestructible and can do no wrong. Her fans can’t deal with any truths about her, including her height (5’3 by her own admission), her flop albulm (aka ’4′), and her serial piracy. Yes, I’m a Rhianna fan. She’s proud and more realistic and definitely more authentic than Beyonce. Yes, her voice is not as good as “B”s but she’s not a thief!
