In an interview with Vlad TV, Mathew Knowles revealed that two members of the R&B group, Jagged Edge sexually assaulted the singers on a tour bus when they were minors.
The incident allegedly occurred in 1998 when Jagged Edge and Destiny’s Child were on tour with Jon B.
In the interview, however, Knowles didn’t name the perpetrators.
“Now, remember the girls are minors,” Knowles explains during the interview. “They’re 16-years-old… the guys are 21 and 22-years-old. I have a fiduciary duty with minors, by the law, there’s a certain way I have to manage that.”
“I got a call from Kelly and Beyoncé… saying that they were constantly being harassed by two of the members in Jagged Edge,” he continued. “I couldn’t have that. I literally had to put the guys off the bus in Baton Rouge, LA. That began all of this drama.”
At the end of the interview, Vlad asked Knowles how he felt as a father, not as a manager when he found out about the alleged assault.
“We won’t talk about that on camera,” he said.
