Very eye opening

David seems to be very honest. I just cant believe how beyonce parents are. And how she continuously let them rule her. If she let her parents do it I can only imagine what the industry do to her behind closed doors. After reading this beyonce ain't as sweet of a person as she put on. I do admire her work ethic. But karma is a mutha. Her folks are evil so she fit right in with the demonic music industry. This book is a page turner. And beyonce is a good liar. I really do believe now that she did have a surrogate pregnancy. Some of the past interviews from DC I felt her and kelly was telling lies and David exposed that in this book.

In depth look into family dysfunction

This book delves into the different forms of abuse and also interrogates why we are often drawn to abusive dynamics. To do this, David begins first with his own story and then the absolutely strange world of the Knowles’ family. His book asks us to consider how we willingly harm ourselves for people who are clearly wrong for us and will eventually hurt us in some way. I found his insight—not only into Beyonce and her family but also her surrounding band members—fascinating. A worthy read.

Juicy Tell-all

I couldn’t put this book down. Overly detailed at times but it brought to light the true story behind Beyoncé’s rise to fame. Her parents sound like truly diabolical people. I had heard rumors about their machinations to make their daughter famous and this book confirms that and more.

Amazing

This book should awaken awareness In people especially when thinking of celebrities what all glitter ain't gold be well aware they only humans

[Sabrina Dawkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this is a great book to read if you want to know the dysfunction in the households and minds of some of the biggest stars who influence countless impressionable people. You will see the formula for how Hollywood and the music industry pick celebrities. And desperation is a key ingredient for making a Hollywood star because the desperate will do anything; and the rulers need the celebrities as puppets to influence the masses.

The rulers are raising up these broken people to lead the masses to docility, stupidity, and self-destruction. And in order to tear down the idols, the false gods in your mind, you must see them for who they really are.
