Beyonce had a normal and peaceful labor and birth with her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
DETAILS: Jay-Z And Beyonce Issue A Joint Statement On Blue Ivy
At first there were widespread reports that the “Love On Top” singer had a C-section last Saturday night, and that she dropped $1.3 million bucks to rent out the entire maternity floor of the Lenox Hill Hospital, with a security team so thick that it rivaled Barack Obama’s!
Well, it turns out that all of that is not true.
The hospital released a statement to fight back the allegations of neglect it is facing from other patients and to address the hoopla surrounding the birth of little Blue Ivy Carter:
DETAILS: Jay-Z Reveals Beyonce Suffered A Miscarriage Before Birthing Blue Ivy
Lenox Hill Hospital and its staff were delighted to welcome the Carter family for the birth of their firstborn on Saturday evening, but we are troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports. The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family.
The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days. No security plan that we or the Carters’ security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU.
Lenox Hill Hospital takes patient privacy and safety very seriously. And while we congratulate the Carter family on the birth of their child, we value the loyalty of ALL of our patients and always strive to ensure a positive experience, knowing that the birth of a child is a wonderful moment producing memories that last a lifetime.
Well there you have it! They set the record straight. Beyonce birthed Jay-Z‘s baby just like most mothers: naturally!
