Richard Lawson Reveals Why He Divorced Tina Knowles

Richard Lawson Reveals Why He Divorced Tina Knowles
Hell, everyone knew the marriage between Tina and Richard Lawson wasn’t gonna last when Mama Tina decided to keep the last name of her serial cheater of an ex husband.
I mean, can it get more disrespectful than a woman keeping such a man’s last name? Well Apparently, it can, and Tina has put poor Richard through more than you could ever imagine!

[@annettelong2143]

He wanted a wife he got someone who wanted to be a socialite. He didn't look happy when Tina went on tour the last time. That was almost a year of his life.

[@ebonymurphy-root9564]

That's why 'fantasy' should stay in dreams. He had no idea of who she was INSIDE of a relationship.

[@millennialodyssey5956]

That's honestly why people need to let go of that "one that got away" nonsense. If they married someone else for that long he should have moved on already. Your not the same person you were when you were young so he wouldn't even know who she really is.

[@latoyahogan8428]

The grass isn't always greener. Plus maybe she had not fully recovered for the divorce of Matthew. Just because they hurt you, doesn't mean you are over them. It's a grieving period. They were together over 30 years. I Love doesn't go away over night.

[@KCruz7]

She figured that she was all that and a bag of skittles . He felt he was tired of being Mr good bar.

[@CandyBarr77]

She seems to me like she thinks she’s better than him. She seems like she never really loved him passionately and that he should be happy that she would breathe on him. That’s just the vibe I get. She also seems like she can be a mess. Beyoncé always said in interviews how much her mama did not play with her growing up. Now i see where Solange gets it from.

[@ShaeNik]

She very well could have married him because she was his dream girl. The idea is sweet but Immature. Tina definitely put herself on a platform and shows it. She has issues she needs to iron out.

[@user-ye5ku2ws6s]

I remember when Richard was in a plane crash around 1992 maybe & he was one of 22 who survived , 27 people died . He values life everyday is what he said. I'm sorry that they couldn't make it, they're such a nice looking couple.

Maybe Richard should have ventured outside of the game and fortune. No, I am not saying he needed a non classy woman, and many deserving women are available. With fame, money and recognition of the world people tend to grow fangs and horned heads.

[@lyndajay4407]

Tina keeping her ex-husband's last name has nothing to do with Matthew, but Beyonce. She wants to be recognized as Beyonce's mother.

She’s been around since Beyoncé was on that old talent show in the 90s. We know she’s her mom. She wanted to keep the last name due to the notoriety it brings her.
