In a surprising turn of events, the Twitter account of Richard Lawson, the estranged husband of Tina Knowles, has been deleted. This development follows the discovery of explicit content liked by the account, which was brought to light by social media users.
Lawson, who is in the midst of a divorce from Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, found his name trending online after the explicit content was discovered. The account's likes were revealed when users visited Lawson's profile page and clicked on the 'Likes' tab, which displayed a collection of explicit and shocking sexual videos.
The discovery of this explicit content has sparked a flurry of speculation and commentary among social media users. Some have suggested that the content could be a factor in the couple's recent decision to divorce after eight years of marriage. However, it's important to note that it remains unclear whether Lawson himself liked the explicit content or if his account was compromised.
The explicit content found in the 'Likes' tab of Lawson's account has elicited a range of reactions from social media users. Some expressed shock and disbelief, with one user stating, "I took one look at Richard Lawson's likes and I think I might know why Ms. Tina is getting the hell on." Another user commented, "After seeing Richard Lawson's likes, I feel like I need to go purify myself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka."
However, some users defended Lawson, suggesting that the explicit content could be the result of a misunderstanding of social media functions. One user argued, "Y'all doing a lot over Richard Lawson's likes, when y'all know damn well that 1). Y'all bookmarks look the exact same 2.) He's old and we all know how older folks are when it comes to social media. Probably didn't know anything about a bookmark."
Tina Knowles filed for divorce from Lawson citing "irreconcilable differences" and has requested to have her name legally restored to Celestine Knowles. She has already updated her Instagram bio to reflect her maiden name, though her username still contains her married name.
The couple, who married in April 2015, did not have any children together. Tina Knowles has two daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, from her previous marriage to record executive Matthew Knowles. In her divorce filing, Tina Knowles requested that the court terminate its ability to award spousal support to both her and Lawson post-divorce.
The deletion of Lawson's Twitter account and the controversy surrounding its explicit content adds another layer to the ongoing narrative of the couple's separation. As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the intense scrutiny and speculation that can accompany high-profile relationships and their dissolution.
