The Beyhive Attacks: How Beyonce’ Stans Have Stung Rachel Roy, Rita Ora, and W Magazine in the wake of ‘Lemonade’

It seems the latest irritant under the attack of the Beyhive (the infamously known collective of Beyonce fans) is W Magazine. First we saw the attacks against Rachel Roy and Rita Ora (both presumed to be the ‘Becky with the Good Hair’ alluded to in Beyonce’s song “Sorry”) and then on Mya for her (seemingly careless) commentary on Beyonce and #BlackLivesMatter.
Rita Ora became the point of contention (and possibly Becky) when she posted a photo of herself wearing a Lemonade bra on her snapchat, while also wearing a ‘J’ necklace. Hmm…not necessarily a smart move to make when the Beyhive is checking for you:

Ever since the racy photo, Ora’s been the subject of a ton of cyber-bullying, with the BeyHive all up in her comments, ESPECIALLY after she was spotted wearing the same Gucci dress as Bey in ‘Formation’….why would you do that.  

Rachel Roy was inherently deemed the ‘Becky with the Good Hair’ after posting a photo on her IG with the caption, “Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. 🏽 live in the light #nodramaqueens“, posting it the same night that the visual album dropped.
Considering Roy has a longstanding relationship with Jay-Z (both as a close friend of his and at one point married to Damon Dash who was close friends with Jay), it made sense why the BeyHive speculated that Roy was, in fact, Becky. So the attacks began: Is the BeyHive getting a little too out of hand? Roy even told People Magazine, “Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother — and I know many mothers would agree — I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media sees the real issue here — the issue of cyber bullying — and how it should not be tolerated by anyone.”  Threats, really?
Well on Monday, the fashion publication got a little piece of the rowdy Beyhive when a photo posted to their Instagram to celebrate the release of “Lemonade” (btw, have you watched it at least 20 times by now?) caused major controversy.
The caption read, “God she might not be, but #Lemonade proves that it’s still @Beyonce’s world, and we just live in it. See more on wmag.com. #Beyonce photographed by @PatrickDemarchelier, styled by @AlexWhiteEdits; W Magazine July 2011.”
However, fans quickly took to the IG page to cite anger with the fact that it appeared Beyonce’s image had, once again, been distorted and photoshopped.
In the defense of the magazine, others noted that this was, in fact, from her shoot back in 2011 when Beyonce may have actually been a tad bit thinner.

While we can’t declaratively say 100% whether the photo was photoshopped or not, one can never be too careful with the influx of photoshopping happening in our communities (remember the piece i did on Kerry Washington’s latest AdWeek photo?). Nonetheless, what are your thoughts?
Is the BeyHive going insane or is there some truth to all the buzzing?
