Hollywood thrives on drama, but rarely does a story cut this close to the heart of one of the industry’s most private and powerful families. This week, gossip personality Jason Lee dropped a bombshell that has sent shockwaves through the BeyHive, sparking intense debate, outrage, and concern. His claims? That Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s youngest children—twins Sir and Rumi Carter—are on the autism spectrum, and that he has video proof to back it up.
For years, Beyoncé has carefully controlled the public’s access to her family. While Blue Ivy has grown into a public figure in her own right, Sir and Rumi have remained largely out of sight, seen only in rare, tightly curated moments. Fans chalked it up to Beyoncé’s famous desire for privacy. But Jason Lee insists it’s not about privacy—it’s about keeping a secret.
Speaking on his platform, Jason claimed he has viewed footage that “confirms” the twins’ diagnoses and alleges that the Carter family has been working behind the scenes to keep the information from the public. He didn’t just make vague suggestions—he doubled down, saying he has “receipts” and has been approached by the family’s team in an attempt to keep him silent.
“They never called me for the Roc Nation brunch, never called me for the Renaissance tour, but now everyone’s calling me,” Jason said pointedly. “Why? Because they know what I have could burn it all down.”
If that weren’t enough, Jason claims Beyoncé’s camp offered incentives to keep him from speaking further. He even issued a bold ultimatum: arrange for Kelly Rowland to appear on his show, or he would release the videos he says confirm his claims.
The story took an even more dramatic turn when Beyoncé’s younger sister, Solange Knowles, reportedly went into full protection mode. Known for her fierce loyalty and zero-tolerance attitude toward those who come for her family, Solange allegedly reacted with fury, warning Jason in no uncertain terms to back off. Rumors have even swirled about her tapping into her more mystical side to send a message—a reference Jason himself made when recalling her past social media posts.
Jason’s allegations have also reignited discussions about comments Beyoncé made in a 2018 interview, where she revealed details about her difficult pregnancy with the twins. She described experiencing preeclampsia, being on bed rest, undergoing an emergency C-section, and the twins spending time in the NICU. Some have connected those health challenges with a higher risk of developmental conditions, while others dismiss the speculation as unfair and invasive.
Adding fuel to the fire, Jason suggested that the difference in public visibility between the twins—Rumi being seen more often than Sir—is due to Sir’s needs requiring a more controlled environment. He even went so far as to say the boy may spend significant time in a specialized facility, a claim that has deeply divided fans.
The Carters have not responded publicly, and it’s unlikely they will. Beyoncé’s entire career has been built on the ability to keep her private life sealed off from the noise of celebrity culture, allowing her to control her own narrative. But Jason’s willingness to play hardball, openly taunting the family with the threat of more leaks, has created a tension that can’t easily be ignored.
The backlash has been swift. While some believe the claims and accuse Beyoncé of hiding the truth, others are appalled at Jason for dragging young children into the spotlight, particularly when the allegations center on sensitive medical matters. Many fans point out that if the rumors are true, the Carters’ decision to keep it private may be less about image and more about protecting the twins from relentless public scrutiny.
In the middle of it all is Solange—sister, aunt, and fierce defender. If reports are to be believed, she’s pulling every string she can to shield Sir and Rumi from this unwanted attention, showing once again that in the Knowles family, loyalty comes above all else.
Whether Jason Lee is bluffing for attention or truly holding onto explosive footage remains to be seen. What is certain is that this standoff has the potential to get even messier. As long as the Carters remain silent and Jason keeps hinting at what’s in his vault, the speculation—and the drama—will only grow.
The question now is not just whether Jason will follow through on his threats, but how far both sides are willing to go to win this dangerous game of public pressure. For Beyoncé’s fans, the hope is that whatever happens next, the twins’ well-being remains the priority. For the gossip world, this is a saga that’s only just begun.
