« Elle savait ce qui était attendu » : des images de Beyoncé assise sur les genoux d’un producteur refont surface, la chanteuse critiquée
A video showing the American pop star, aged 19 at the time, on a producer's lap while they discussed a possible duet with Michael Jackson, has been circulating on social media in recent days, where many internet users are accusing her of being opportunistic.
"She could have stayed standing," "I always suspected there was something fishy about Beyoncé," "She looks like a professional," "Damn, so Beyoncé is an escort"... On social media, especially X, internet users are not kind to the American singer.
A video of the singer of "Crazy in Love" has resurfaced in recent days, first reported by the Daily Mail on August 15th. She is 19 years old at the time, and is seen sitting on the lap of producer Marc Schaffel, while he discusses a possible duet between the two artists with Michael Jackson on the phone—a collaboration that never materialized.
"Come on, here we are, come here," Marc Schaffel asks in the slightly more than two-minute sequence, stepping back from his desk with his rolling chair. "Do you want to sit down? If you want to make it easier, you can sit on my lap," he says to the singer.
The young woman complies, a forced smile on her lips. "I've got Beyoncé on my lap," Marc Schaffel jokes to Michael Jackson, before putting the artist on speakerphone. Aware of being filmed, the pop star looks at the camera and says, looking embarrassed, "I'm sorry." "You're shaking," the producer teases.
As soon as her exchange with the king of pop ended, Beyoncé left Marc Schaffel's lap.
I'm not even being funny, the industry is weird and predatory. Yikes. https://t.co/SiwNDwJUVt pic.twitter.com/Xrf7nXQdM7

These rather unsettling images were perceived by some as evidence of ambition on the part of Beyoncé, the lead singer of Destiny's Child, whose solo career was about to take off. "You have to pay a toll to get him to facilitate your meeting with the King of Pop. She knew what was expected... she goes straight to him and leans against him," wrote one user on X.
But for others they reveal a "bizarre and predatory industry". "To make it easier, instead of staying seated on her lap, he could have stood up and let her sit down", "These perverts are never punished", "She didn't look comfortable", we can read on the same social network.
A new documentary about Michael Jackson is in the works.
The Daily Mail claims that these images are "never before seen" and were provided by Marc Schaffel himself. The tabloid explains that it obtained excerpts from a documentary, commissioned by the King of Pop in 2001 when he was facing persistent accusations of child abuse, in order to provide an immersion into his "real" life.
In November 2003, while filming for the new documentary was still underway, deputies from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department raided the star's Neverland Ranch in California as part of a criminal investigation into sexual abuse. Two years later, Michael Jackson was acquitted, but television networks lost interest in the documentary, leaving the artist's friend and producer, Marc Schaffel, with a mountain of unseen footage.
The producer now believes that his own footage — one of the last in-depth portraits ever made of Jackson — is regaining its relevance, and he plans to release a new portrait film, tentatively titled "The Real Michael".
