Do you remember those 2011 conspiracy theories about how Beyonce wasn’t really pregnant but faking it while a surrogate was carrying her first child with Jay Z, Blue Ivy Carter? Well, so does a woman named Tina Seals.

The Hollywood Gossip reports that Seals has filed a lawsuit in the Manhattan court claiming that she is Blue Ivy’s real mother, and asking a judge to approve a DNA test that would confirm it.

“The rumored legal document alleges that Seals is seeking ‘to verify whether she is the biological mother’ of the toddler and that she was ‘previously associated’ in some way with defendants ‘Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z Carter’,” the celebrity e-zine reports.

This would play just wonderfully into those older rumors about how Beyonce turned to a surrogate to carry Blue Ivy for a variety of reasons, the most important for her being that she didn’t want to “ruin” her body with the pregnancy.

As you probably recall, these rumors reached a climax when she did an interview for 60 Minutes Australia and, as she was sitting down, her baby bump seemed to fold in on itself, as if she had no actual bump under that dress, but one of those prosthetic bumps they use on movie sets and which are usually shallow.

You can find that video available below, just keep an eye out for it at the 0.54-minute mark.

While we might never know the truth of these rumors, which Beyonce duly denied when they threatened to get completely out of control, Tina Seals is definitely not Blue Ivy’s mother: the same media outlet has learned that the woman has a history of making such outrageous claims in court.

She also claimed to be the mother of Kim Kardashian’s daughter with Kanye West, North West, and the mother of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s son, Prince George. Oh, and she also claimed to be the mother of Mariah Carey’s twins, known best on social media as “Dem Babies.” And there’s more.

“She also once sued the US government for $5 million [€3.73 million] because, according to the official document, Barack Obama and company are ‘claiming [she is] an AWOL Congresswoman’,” THG says.

Unless this Tina woman acted as surrogate for all these famous women, we’ll just have to assume that she’s filed yet another frivolous lawsuit, this time involving Beyonce and Jay Z, as if they didn’t already have enough on their mind with all the divorce rumors still making the rounds.
