Beyoncé Demanding Too Much From Her Crew For Her Next Tour

What do u guys think? 

 

[ElToxico]

I think that if those music videos are not out before she starts touring I AM GOING TO RIOT

[2K16NEY]

I’d go booze and drug free for a year to work with an artist like Beyoncé. That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. 

[PablitoXS]

I think people will drink hiddenly.

I have been wondering where the hell the tour announcement is. the album was released in July and we're mid December now and still no word. and i remember hearing like a few months ago she was auchioning tour tickets for charity and i thought aw well it must all be set in stone now and an announcement is imminent, but that was 3 or 4 months ago

Well, why not? The booze part might be a bit much, but do ppl complain about having to stick to a diet when they are going to compete in some sort of physical thing? No. So, if she sees her tour as a commitment it is ok to invite your staff to do the same. You can opt out too, if it overwhelms you. Normally, I dislike diva behavior, but this is not too much.

The thing the bothered me a little was the “me too” part. The booze and diet I agree because  you have to be in good shape for dancing routines or other choreography.

She has the right to demand such things.. She employs people and creates work for them, if it doesn't suit them then they should move to another job.

Yeah, it is an invasive policy but also if I am going to go on a multimillion dollar tour, I would like to avoid a headline that reads:  choreographer with long history of minor abuse is working with Beyoncé. Didn't something like that happen to Gaga?

I generally agree. If she's going to have certain rules, it's good to state them now. Better now than after the work starts.

Yeah another Hollyweird thing. I think Gaga did that too.

Explain to me what this has to do with the information given to you here?

[GlitterRain]

Listen, I am all for being professional, safe and ensuring that you’re doing your job properly. The no drugs? Absolutely. No questions asked. The no booze part though? That’s a bit much in my opinion. I fully agree with not drinking before the show and being responsible but like no drinking at all for the entire duration of the tour? I don’t know…

So you’re telling me that after a safe and successful show, nobody can celebrate with a drink or go out? Beyoncé, these are full grown adults. Calm down. I don’t even like to drink but I think requesting no drinking is a bit of a stretch. 

The Me Too part? I completely agree with that! Props to her for ensuring a safe work environment for herself, the crew, the band and the dancers!

 

[Midnights]

In what world do we live where creating a safe workenvironment is demanding too much?!

 

I am the first to say I dislike Beyonce and I fully hearted can say I think she's overrated but booze or drugs while working is never accepted at any job so why should it be any different on tours? Creating a safe environment where everybody feels safe should be the standard. 

If anything, I think she's handling it as everyone should.

These are normal things? I am not allowed to drink, do drugs or do #metoo things at my basic job as well?  Sorry, if you dont have your addictions under control, then that is a "you" problem.

Exactly. I work in a clothing store. I can’t show up intoxicated to work or intoxicate myself during working hours. I would also get myself in huge, huge trouble if I were to overstep boundaries related to #MeToo - but then again, where is this not written in black ink? I read it like this: Beyoncé wants to do regular check-ins with her crew and make sure everyone is still comfortable with each other and no misconduct happened among them. Sounds like she cares for her brand and for her crew. I ain’t no fan or stan of the gal, but c’mone, where’s the problem here? Like, for real?

This article does not specify whether her crew cannot drink alcohol or use drugs at all whilst under her employment (e.g. can’t have a glass of wine during Christmas dinner with your family) or only on the job (e.g. can’t do pot during prep for the show that evening). There’s a big difference there and a whole grey area surrounding that. We don’t know, so let’s not fill in.

Very interesting that the same was expected for Britney’s tours under the conservatorship (which is why Andre and Brian weren’t a part of TCSBS, etc) and none of you got upset with that, but when it’s Beyoncé, y’all are VERY vocal about it. Keep telling on yourselves 🤣

[LeavinExhaleByYearEnd]

Imagine your employer doing a background check in your life to see you weren’t involved in some misconduct from your past. The Me Too movement is only a Hollywood thing to attract attention and they already making movies about it. When I do an interview to a job nobody ask something like that.

It's funny... w33d is legal in many US states now but the federal government can take certain licenses from you if they drug test you and find it in your system. I think Beyonces tour rules are a non-issue as long as everyone is held to the same standard.
