Beyonce’s Unflattering Pictures Won’t Be Taken Down

Even the queen of all divas takes some not-so Bey-utiful pictures. 

You heard it right: there are bad (like, seriously embarrassing) photos of Beyonce spreading like wildfire throughout cyberspace.

After her phenomenal Super Bowl half time performance (true or false: she was so amazing that she caused the blackout in the third quarter?), Buzzfeed collected 33 of the superstar’s fiercest moments, showcasing Bey at her absolute best, and, well, her not-so-best. 

So what’s a girl to do when there are unBEYlievably unflattering pictures of herself floating around on the Internet? Request to take them down, of course.  But since this isn’t Facebook and there’s no untag feature, Beyonce sent her publicist out to handle the situation.

“I’m certain that you will be able to find some better photos,” Yvette, her publicist wrote in an email to Buzzfeed, asking them to “respectfully change” seven of the pictures on their site. 

But apparently, Beyonce doesn’t run the world (not yet, at least) and Buzzfeed has kept the singer’s pictures up for all to see.  

So collegiettes, the next time you crouch over your computer ferociously untagging Facebook photos and reporting the really bad ones (everyone does that, right?), just be thankful that you can hide them from your profile.  Better luck next time, Bey.
