DNC Showrunners Finally Explain What Went Down With That Beyoncé Rumor
HuffPost
Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, who directed and executive produced the four-day event, said Monday that their own staff didn't believe them.
Beyoncé fans are finally getting some answers after a rumored DNC appearance from the superstar never materialized.
Many online were speculating that the Grammy winner would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris with a performance Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, only for an enthusiastic Beyhive to go to bed disappointed.
Director Glenn Weiss and executive producer Ricky Kirshner, who were responsible for the entertainment during the convention, revealed Monday that Beyoncé was never scheduled to perform.
“This is the internet taking on a life of its own and people taking something as fact — literally to the point that people in my booth are saying, ‘Is she coming? You can tell me,’” Weiss told The Hollywood Reporter. “And I would say ‘I have no knowledge she’s coming.’”
“And they would say ‘No knowledge? So there’s something to know!’ It was pretty crazy,” he continued. “But she wasn’t coming. In the end even TMZ [which first reported it] had to issue an apology.”
