“That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy,” the superstar – named People’s 2012 Most Beautiful Woman – told the mag. “I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”

“It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold?” Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles, told the mag. “Oh my gosh, so stupid.”

While Beyonce shook off the speculation, Tina was hurt and disturbed by the buzz surrounding her daughter’s first pregnancy.

“I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months,” she said. ”As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”
