Rachel Roy Speaks Out: ‘There Is No Truth to the Rumors’

Rachel Roy, Jay Z

Rachel Roy is speaking out, days after making headlines for being at the center of the Jay Z cheating rumors – all which were triggered after Beyonce’s new album, Lemonade, was released.

She tells PEOPLE,

I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted, it was misunderstood as something other than that. There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors.

Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother – and I know many mothers would agree – I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media sees the real issue here – the issue of cyber bullying – and how it should not be tolerated by anyone.
