They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.

The statement also disputed reports that Solange was intoxicated:

The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.

    what ever….. they know how to get ppl to stop talking about them. they don’t want any negative talk so they put that well plan speech. I don’t believe them.. they don’t want to loose money on their tour. They are trying to keep up that good image they are feeding the public.. I don’t buy it.. i’m just saying…

      Agree! They got caught & now its about cleaning up their image, although they really didn’t say much. Clearly, they have family problems…who doesn’t. @M.Dot, it has been very entertaining tho! We all now know that Solange is little cray-cray, that’s for sure.
