Solange is defending her behavior during a live satellite interview last week in which she reprimanded a local Fox anchor in Las Vegas over a question that was never asked.
As previously reported, Beyonce's little sister overheard a producer tell the reporter to ask about the drama surrounding the closing of 40/40 nightclub, which was run by her brother-in-law, Jay-Z. Believing the instructions were broadcast live, Solange began the actual live segment by lecturing the KVVU reporter about how her "introduction" was "not very professional."
"Please don't talk me into family and my brother-in-law's establishment," she said to the thoroughly confused anchor. Seconds later, Solange was informed that the part she overheard was not broadcast on TV.
Footage of the exchange hit the Internet, via TMZ.com, and has prompted Solange to respond � via video. She explained that her camp handed her an earpiece to hear the reporter's questions, and informed her that she was already live on the air. But in reality, the segment had yet to begin. Solange said she overheard the producer tell the anchor "in this really negative tone" to ask about Jay-Z's club closing down. And that's why she went off.
"I was furious," she said in her video. "I felt very disrespected. I felt very offended that someone would try to bring up something totally irrelevant."
Solange also put TMZ on blast by suggesting that Fox - which airs TMZ's TV show as well as the KVVU affiliate - was using her interview clip to cross-promote their shows.
"I stand by my reaction," Solange said. "I still say it was highly disrespectful and offensive. I'm always going to stand up and speak up for myself, and for my family as well. So either love me or leave me alone for that."
