LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Beyonce, reeling from the embarrassment of her husband Jay-Z facing a serious lawsuit, has found comfort in the support of her former Destiny’s Child bandmate and Grammy-winning singer, Michelle Williams.

The 'Cowboy Carter' has turned to Williams for emotional support as she deals with the legal turmoil surrounding her husband. 

The legal issues stem from an incident that occurred at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, 2000. In the wake of the serious allegations against Jay-Z, Beyonce has been spending the past few days in tears, struggling with the weight of the situation.

One source revealed that Williams has been “praying with her (Beyonce) everyday as she considers all of her options.”

They added, “She has always been Beyonce's most spiritual friend, and she helped her get through the Beyonce-hate train in the early 2000s when LeToya and LaTavia left the group.”

The source then recollected, “Michelle was one of the first people Bey confided in and they have been speaking every evening when Michelle has time away from her Broadway show.”

An insider further shared details about the spiritual connection between both of them. “Michelle is often joked about as the "third wheel" but the truth is that she really holds things together because of her love for God. She is Beyonce's rock right now.”

Due to concerns over her husband’s allegations, Beyonce has "canceled some surprise promotional appearances".

The insider added, “Jay has reassured her that he isn't guilty of anything and is infuriated that his friendship with Diddy has dragged him into this.”

In addition, Beyonce also canceled an interview promoting her Christmas Day halftime show. The source explained, “Beyonce is embarrassed, devastated and horrified with the allegations against her husband.”

The insider went on to say, “He is in no way a saint and has cheated on Beyonce in the past and she hoped that was the worst they would have to go through.”

According to a source, Jay-Z is currently staying elsewhere to focus on his legal case without disrupting his children's routine.

In a strongly worded statement, he vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "heinous". 

The rapper further expressed how "unfair" it was that his family would also be impacted by the accusations. 

He said, “My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people. I mourn yet another loss of innocence.”

He went on to say, “Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.”

Concluding his statement, he added, “Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable.”
