Beyoncé And Jay-Z Were Reported Over The Birth Of Blue Ivy Carter
When Beyoncé and Jay-Z's first child was born, it should have been a joyous experience for the couple. On top of that, the couple should have been able to focus on this new stage in their lives and Beyoncé's physical recovery. Unfortunately for them, however, Jay-Z and Beyoncé were the subject of controversy after they were reported to the authorities.
Before Blue Ivy Carter was even a week old, CBS News published a report focused on the birth of the child. According to the outlet, it was alleged that other patients at the hospital where Carter was born were mistreated because of Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Who are Beyoncé and Jay-Z's kids, according to Today?
| Child's Name: | Child's Birth Date: |
|---|---|
| Blue Ivy Carter | January 7, 2012 |
| Rumi Carter | June 13, 2017 |
| Sir Carter | June 13, 2017 |
If the other patients solely went to the media to complain about Beyoncé and Jay-Z, that would have been an interesting story. However, two people reported the hospital where Blue Ivy Carter was born for how they allegedly treated patients because of Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
When asked about the controversy, a health department spokesperson named Michael Moran confirmed that New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital had been reported. That said, the spokesperson revealed that only two people reported the hospital.
If that wasn't amazing enough, the spokesperson stated that only one of the two people who reported the hospital had been a patient. According to the spokesperson, the other person who reported the hospital did so after reading reports in the media about the situation.
CBS News also quoted The Associated Press who spoke to Rozz Nash-Coulon, a new mother who gave birth at the hospital around the same time Beyoncé did. According to what Nash-Coulon told the outlet, her experience definitely was affected by the fact that Jay-Z and Beyoncé showed up.
"Once they checked in there was high security everywhere. It looked like the president was on our floor. The hospital's security cameras were taped over. Internal windows from the hallways into the ward were blacked out."
On top of including that quote in their report, CBS News summarized Nash-Coulon's other comments. According to what Nash-Coulon, she'd given birth to twins in the same hospital where Blue Ivy Carter was born.
Nash-Coulon's twins were placed in the neonatal unit. Nash-Coulon told The Associated Press that visiting her twins in the neonatal unit was a struggle after the hospital added security measures due to the celebrity couple.
Even though two reports may not seem like a big deal, the health authorities pledged to take action. Their spokesperson promised that an investigation into whether any regulations were broken would be conducted.
Simultaneously, the people in charge of Lenox Hill Hospital also stated that they would investigate what did or didn't happen. According to the people in charge, the hospital's executive director would lead the investigation.
By the time CBS News published their report, the hospital had already looked into the situation enough to release a statement. According to that statement, the hospital had already spoken to several of the patients who gave birth around the same time Blue Ivy Carter was born.
"We have spoken to seven out of the 10. None have reported being stopped from seeing their babies."
Even though the hospital disputed the claim about parents accessing their babies, they confirmed some aspects of the complaints that had been made.
First off, the hospital confirmed that the cameras were briefly taped over when Beyoncé and her people were being moved in the hall. The hospital also confirmed that the patients they spoke to noticed "enhanced security".
CBS News' report revealed that around the same time as the controversy, Blue Ivy Carter broke a record. Since Jay-Z included audio of his daughter crying in his song "Glory", Blue Ivy Carter became the youngest person ever to appear on the Billboard charts.
CBS News report about the complaints against the hospital included another detail. It was alleged that Beyoncé and Jay-Z paid the hospital $1 million to get VIP treatment. However, the hospital insisted the couple paid the normal fees.
The Complaints Against The Hospital Where Beyoncé Gave Birth To Blue Ivy Carter Were Dismissed
When New York's health officials confirmed that the hospital where Blue Ivy Carter had been reported, the media likely didn't expect to get an update soon. As it would turn out, however, health officials gave a huge update the same day CBS News' report was published.
According to a report that CTV News published at 10:56 PM, health officials dismissed the complaints.
Aside from revealing that an investigation had been conducted and the complaints had been dismissed, no other details were provided. As a result, there is no way to know what the authorities learned aside from their belief that no further actions were warranted.
