Here’s the scenario. While on the 7th Annual Essence Magazine ‘Women In Hollywood’ red carpet, a reporter for ‘Hollywood Today’ mentioned that she looked flawless like Beyonce’s song. It appears that she may have mumbled something under her breath (that we can’t make out, but folk are speculating it rhymes with a female dog) while rolling her eyes. Ouch!

She also discussed how discipline has played a role in her successful career sharing:

It’s everything..discipline is everything and work ethic. Discipline, work ethic all that. It’s monumental, its fundamental its gotta be there.
