Beyonce’s Delivery Didn’t Disrupt Or Harm Other Patients, Hospital Says
Contrary to what you might have heard, New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital says the long-awaited birth of Beyonce and Jay-Z‘s daughter Blue Ivy Carter on Saturday night didn’t inconvenience any of its other maternity patients, or put their babies at risk of being snatched.

The statement comes in response to a number of newspaper articles in which patients and guests at the hospital claim that they weren’t allowed to move about the maternity ward freely, and in some cases got into confrontations with the singers’ security detail. The New York Times quoted one man as saying the guards kept him out of the neonatal care unit where his wife and newborn were waiting for him. Another woman and her husband were trying to leave when a guard told her she couldn’t go down a particular hallway — one she claims she could see people going down.
But if that wasn’t enough, other patients and people in the hospital at the time of the newest Carter’s delivery say that security cameras were taped over. “The security of our children is at risk when you cover security cameras,” said one woman.

For its part, Lenox Hill says it has done everything in its power to make sure that all of its patients have been treated well — and it took pains in a statement to clarify that Beyonce and Jay-Z didn’t pay $1.3 million for their birthing suite, either.
The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family.
The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days. No security plan that we or the Carters’ security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU.
So who’s in the right here? If people are complaining, there must be something happening that’s worth complaining about. But if you had a child in a maternity ward, and someone told you you couldn’t go and see it, wouldn’t you kick, scream, yell and threaten whoever was standing between you and your child until they moved out of your way? Even if it was Beyonce?
