: Michelle Williams reached out to MediaTakeOut.com, and told us that she's decided to FIRE Mathew Knowles as her manager.

After much prayer and consideration I have decided to part ways from my management team, Mathew Knowles and Music World Entertainment. From my time in Destiny's Child to my solo career, I am grateful for everything Mathew and his team has done for me.

We've shared great success together. However, as I move in a new direction in my career, I felt it was time.

I wish Mathew Knowles and the Music World Entertainment family all the best.

Of course everyone is now gonna say that this is GOOD NEWS for Michelle's career - and explain how it was MATTY that was holding back her career the whole time.

But we're not even gonna go there. You know, people keep BLAMING Mathew Knowles for all these chicks career’s flopping. But Matty ain't manage Ciara, Ashanti, Mya or Amerie . . . so what's their EXCUSE????

These ladies need to step up their game and put out GOOD MUSIC, and stop BLAMING SOMEBODY else for their floppiness . .

RandumChik

Once in a blue moon "they" let a real singer slip out there, like Jennifer Hudson. I wish her the best. She seems like a nice person. But I agree w/ MTO. I think most of these chicks just don't have it.

Felled?...lol uhmm Alrighty then



Karimah

I can't believe I agree with you MTO!


LadeeP

I kind of agree with MTO on this. Kelly and Michelle just don't have that great of music to me. Kelly had some good songs like 2 or maybe 3 but I though Amerie had some pretty good songs and even Monica. I feel they aren't being promoted good enough. Now that I think about it they weren't promoted that well. Like when Kelly or Michelle album first come out you see some promotion but they don't continue to get that promotion like Beyonce. Then again their music is not that great!


crescentcity

that's what managers are supposed to do...MANAGE THE CAREERS...His management interests are only with that HO daughter of his


Hustleman4

shoulda done that years ago!


Chinkilicious

She's a weirdo, and He got Issues


JBeast1

She's a gospel singer not a R&B singer, do ya thang.


JBeast1

NOH8ERS

MICHELLE, HERE'S AN IDEA....ONCE U GET A NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM & YOUR CAREER 'SOARS' {HA}, PLS PUT *** A GOOD WORD 4 KELLY...SHE NEEDS IT....


NOH8ERS

& THAT PHOTO IS FM HER ALTER EGO ***....


rainbowkiid

4 ONCE I HAVE 2 AGREE WITH MTO!!!!!! BCAS U ARENT SUCCESSFUL IS YOUR FOUGHT, IF U CAN LEAVE, U CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF DAMNIT. BEYONCE, HER DAD THE LABEL HAS NOTIN 2 DO WIT YOUR UNSUCCESSFULNESS, FURTHER MORE SHE WAS A BACK UP SINGER DC MADE A NAME 4 HER


ThisBarbieChick

Might as well.


customcalendars4u2

The only chance for success Michele ever had was with Destiny's Child and after that Trio split up and they all pursued solo careers, well guess who's career would get the most attention? That's right! Beyonce! So how she didn't know this herself is way beyond me. 4u2.com


iyiyimilky

wat ever made dat person take dude pic *** make it like dat any 1 care to share



WUTUPDOE313

cant blame him for this one. Her career is over. Nobody is checkin for her no more. Or Kelly


sex-and-chocolate

Michelle can't sing.....at all. That's not Matthew's fault.


OKC_405_GIRLJK

She will be okay and good luck on your success sweetie!!!


CherryBoo

Yall know Bey is my gurl BUT YEEESSS MATHEW IS TO BLAME!

I'M HAPPY FOR HER


bourgie_girl

no one cared about michelle. they cared about beyonce and kelly, even when latoya and latavia were in the group.


larhondbw

I DON'T KNOW WHAT MTO IS TALKING ABOUT MICHELLE WANTED TO BE A GOSPEL ARTIST AND HAD ONE OF THE BEST SELLING GOSPEL ALBUMS A FEW YEARS AGO.I THINK SHE IS DROPPING HIM BECAUSE HE REALLY AIN'T THAT GOOD OF A MANAGER.


angelaheiressnyc

about time however will this help her career though?...This is a start but she still needs the right group of ppl backing her up & working with her...right producers,writers,stylists,PR,etc


mazrules

@***-and-chocolate and all the people takin about how she can't sing. Every body doesn't sing the same way, and it is stupid to want every artist to sound the same!! According to you people beyonce is the only one in this world who can sing. The girl isn't big, but she is trying as is kelly.


angelaheiressnyc

Kelly was still the voice of DC regardless...she has the best voice of all of them,period!


imsickoftvnradio

The key to success in the entertainment business is getting a team of people who have YOU in their best interest.

Beyonce: her team is her family. Usher: his team is his family. Brandy: her team is her family. Mj: had a good team and when he didn't he got rid of them. These are just very few successful people.


KrucialKat

Kudos to Michelle for making a good choice. Mathews empire (MWE) is falling apart as we know it. 5 years ago they were ON TOP OF IT!! I though MWE was gonna be the next Jive Record...guess not


imsickoftvnradio

SHe did the right thing because of course he will think of his daughter first.

Anyone can be a star if they have a good team. It's all about looks and image. It's not about the music because people listen to and buy sh*tty music ever day. Listen to what's out there now and you will know what I'm talking about.


imsickoftvnradio

MTO...But Matty ain't manage Ciara, Ashanti, Mya or Amerie . . . so what's their EXCUSE???? ------------------------------ Their team sucked. Ashanti slept with Irv and when that was over so was her career.

Mya slept with the wrong people and did not have a good team. :-) Love her though.

Ameri is very talented but like Beyonce she is very boring. And again she has a bad team.


Aqueasgrl

am i the only one who remembers that this is a pic from a derick blanks alter-egp photoshoot. or just the only one who remembers that mto put the pics up? ya'll are slippin.....


ThinkPink5

sooo



Maria7532

I wouldn't have hired him in the first place.


affirmative-action

I didn't hear Michelle blame Matthew for anything. All she said was she wanted to move in a different direction. Lots of singers do that. Seems amicable to me. Why try to turn this into something ugly? Just like Tina said, if you're looking for an ugly divorce, you're going to be disappointed...she already knew.


BitterSweetSymphony

She shouldve fired a long time ago. The manangement team should be called ALL ABOUT BEYONCE MANAGEMENT


greenroses

I dont understand why mattew would want to become all these other singers managers when he doesnt give them the same amount of support or attention for their careers.All he cares for is BeYAWNce.Kelly and michele are too talented to be ignored


Iwontbebad

I AGREE BUT WHO WOULD ARGUE THAT MATTY'S DAUGHTER IS MORE TALENTED THEN MICHELLE OR KELLY FOR THAT MATTER AND VOCALS IS WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS YA NOT WHO YOUR FREAKIN MANAGER IS. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.


Iwontbebad

FOR THOSE WHO SAY KELLY AND MICHELLE ARE JUST AS GOOD AS BEYONCE GO TO THE STATS LIST FOR RECORDS SOLD ON THEIR SOLO CAREERS AND COMPARE AND SEE WHO IS BUYING THEIR S.HIT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.


Munk979

I THOUGHT SHE BEEN FIRED HIS ***......ANYWHO NEXXXXT!


sammyc59

totally disagree with mto...sometimes the ppl u have around u don't have the rite motives...


nene3

She needs to eat a biscuit or two and stick to gospel music cause the mainstream stuff aint what it used to be.


Baxby

To all those who have been misled and brainwashed...screaming on the mic, on every song, isn't singing. Michelle has a very nice voice and she uses it well. She made the right decision because her management only had one priority...Beyonce. When Kelly left, that was a wrap for ANY type of attention else where. It's obvious to anyone who cares to pay attention.


Maria121

Maybe she can go on Sesame Street and sing one of the kids songs...since her voice sounds like a childs.


BeReal

BOUT TIME!


donthateonthegreat

I thought her and Kelly been and fired Matthew as their manager?? Knowing how big of a star Beyonce is it's gonna be much harder for Kelly and michelle to be as successful. Not saying it's impossible, but let's face it, Bey stole all the shine out that group and she stands out more.People are more focused on Bey and Rihanna...


Nikki9Milli

who?!


Prettylady4life

BOTH HER AND KELLY ARE TWO STUPID BITACHES. WHEN DESTINY CHILD BROKE UP, THEY SHOULD HAVE GOT A NEW MANAGER THEN. MATTHEW ONLY LOOKS OUT FOR BEYONCE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN THAT. HE DON'T GIVE A *** ABOUT NOBODY ELSE!



uniqueSag

DIDNT SHE RELEASE A STATEMENT ABOUT A YEAR AGO STATING THAT HE WILL REMAIN HER MANAGER AND THAT SHE WAS HAPPY? PFFFFFFF!!!!!


Girlsluvgems

Everybody waking up to Sucha Farce and her slimy Dad! Better late than never...


BKLYNDIVA01

DAM GIRLFRIEND LOOKS LIKE AN OLD LADY WOW LOL....SO NON-TALENT....


TheRealBeYAWNce

I like how she waits to 2010 to fire him. She shoulda did that *** like 10 years ago...


BlueFairy

She looks so *** dumb.


NYSDIVA

MTO, BEYOTCHCE stole AMERIE'S "BOOTY-BOUNCING-GO GO" sound. FREAKUM' DRESS & GET ME BODIED rips of Amerie's sound.


NYSDIVA

CIARA fell off b/c she changed her whole "Queen of Crunk" style. She's riding on the Bey bandwagon.

ASHANTI stopped f*cking Irv Gotti, so he stopped promoting her music.

MYA is better at dancing than singing.


NYSDIVA

...As for Michelle, she sounds like she got something stuck in her throat.


Pink_TinkerBaby

Y wouldnt she blame him??he pay more attention to his daughter then da otha girls.....&&Ciara didnt not flop she still on her game


Mel7

Matthew Knowles is a demonic force that only cares about dollars and cents, and Beyonce has long sold her soul along with all the knowles clan, for money and fame. I am glad Kelly and Michelle could see that now!."Evil and greedy men will whither away and be no more says the lord." Selling your soul to the demons of the world for money and fame, really?


DaMixedBarbie

Dey went solo *** now c dey cant b successful as beyonce.. Her career wasnt gonna go anywhere anyways..she failed *** wanna blame anybody hun blame ya singin voice we neva heard u thanks 2 weaveonce!


Lockstress

Uhm...I very much doubt that Michelle "reached" out to any of you ignorant jackazzes!


kimpeach

In a strange way, I don't feel that sorry for Michelle or Kelly. People told them that Mathew didn't care about anyone BUT Beyonce. These two allowed themselves to be used in an effort to protect Beyonce. They should have fired him in 2004 after DC's last album. The only thing Kelly and Michelle can hope for is karma hitting the Knowles family back.


MYMINDISNAAASTY

BEYONCE IS THA *** AND MATTY LOVES HIS DAUGHTER

MICHELLE SANG AT THE SUPERBOWL HORRIBLY... .U-TUBE IT



MYMINDISNAAASTY

SORRY BOO..TENITRA..CUTE REAL NAME BUT YOU AINT BEYONCE...


PrettiestMamiiAlive

what was he doing for her anyway?


Keepemguessing

I didn't even know he managed Michelle!!! Who could tell??? He is and has always been about Beyonce making money so he can have some!!! All of Destiny Child's members ( Outside of Bey) feel the same way!! He must be a RIOT!! lol


Zoneout

Thats good for her, she don't need to be with a artist who does a video about laying in her bed and being possession and then dancing in front of the light of satan and the pale horse run out of the light. Just move on.


fairest1

Well... Tina fired his ***!


alei

MICHELLE IS MORE GOSPEL THAN ANTHING THATS HER IMAGE SHE DOESNT HAVE THAT APPEAL LIKE BEYONCE *** KELLY DO BUT SHE SHOULD FOND A TEAM THAT CAN HELP HER WIT HER CARREER THERES STILL HOPE FOR HER JUS FOCUS ON MAKIN GOOD MUSIC


NYSDIVA

@ CLARKTHINK

I AGREE W/ U 100%. EVERYTIME I SEE THAT VIDEO I'M LIKE MICHELLE'S PART IS A BIT OFF. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A DIFFERENT SONG.


KEEYSHAJ50

HER AND KELLY SHOULD OF BEEN FIRED HIS ***...


Lately25

Nyahh.. Matthew ain't to blame on this one, we all heard her sing :( Maybe she can do gospel rap or something....


moneyhungry

Wow I actually agree with MTO


yummo

Umm, I didn't read where she was blaming him. Did I miss somethin. Anyway da Knowles r just like Diddy. Once they use u for what they want, ur out. People r just steppin stones. Jay better b glad he has his own money. C how lil sis bailed when her baby daddy didn't go pro.


mzlisa

I DONT CARE WHAT NO ONE SAIDS...THIS CHILD CAN NOT SING!!!


spicy_creole

First of all, I know for a FACT that Tenitra Michelle Williams ain't "reach out" to y'all MTO lmao, are u kidding me? Secondly, she's not blaming Mathew for anything! Y'all need to stop being so rude and get facts before you sway stories based off of your own bias of people! Michelle will do fine, she is paid and has plenty of projects lined up for 2010. Chew on that MTO


zaytay

BEYONCE STEPPED HER GAME UP, Y'ALL CAN TO!!


UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

Considering 3 of the names you listed have been seriously swagjacked.. Amerie whole style was bitten before she even got a real chance, Ahsanti had a good career going but her work ethic was not there. Ciara fired Jazzy Pha and started being sexy, when kids luved her. Michelle Waiting until her career has no momentum to leave. Kelly 2 both were in the backseat They r just realizing? The one that had a slight chance was Toya but she cant get the PR and attention she needs to really be on any level but dating famous dudes. Beyonce won before they even started.



asusundevilgurl

MTO that pic was from her alter ego photo *** a couple months ago. Why y'all always twisting stories??


InamaD16

YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT (WHO EVER POSTED THIS STORY).....BUT AT LEAST, MYA, ASHANTI,CIARA, AND AMERIE....HAD SOME SORT OF NOTIFICATION TO THERE CAREERS....I CAN REMEMBER TURNING ON THE TV AND SEEING THESE WOMEN IN A MUSIC VIDEO OR A SHOW......NOW WITH MICHELLE AND KELLY EVEN THO I THINK THEY MADE A RIGHT MOVE..MATTHEW KNOWLES IS TO BLAME.BECAUSE WHEN WS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A MICHELLW WILLIAMS OR KELLY ROWLAND VIDEO ON "BET" OR "MTV".ALL WE SEE IS BEYONCE...AND WHO KNEW WHEN MICHELLE'S ALBUM "UNEXPECTED CAME OUT..I DID...I HAVE IT....DO U..I GUESS NOT..THEIR MANAGMENT SUCKED..GUD MOVE MICHELLE


M-M

@clarathink, yeah and Bey and the rest of 'em knew it sounded bad and kept it that way-forbid she sound better than her!


Im_Me_Because

Well good for her breaking away from the clutches of the EVIL Knowles'.
