So, just when I couldn't hate a super couple any more, the latest in the 'are you kidding me' saga happened? Okay, I can't really say hate because I've met both of these celebs on a few different occasions, and both have been super nice. Then again, at the time, I was working for the top radio stations in New York City, which could explain why they were so pleasant.
Anyway, first, congrats to Jay-Z and Beyonce on the birth of their baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter, who was born via C-Section Saturday night at New York City's elite eastside Lenox Hill Hospital. Here's where the 'are you kidding me' happens! It turns out, a Brooklyn couple had twin babies in the same hospital on the same night, but the problem was that Jay-Z and Beyonce's security wouldn't let the father of the twins in to see his newborns. That's right! Rosalyn Coulton gave birth to two baby girls, who were placed in the Neo-Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on the sixth floor of the hospital. It just so happened that Beyonce had given birth near the NICU and had spent nearly $1.3 million to redecorate and seal off a wing on that floor, which included installing bulletproof glass and security. Are you kidding me?
According to the father of the twins, Neil Coulton (pic on the right), he was repeatedly kept from seeing his children by security guards, and on one occasion, he was kept from the NICU for more than 20 minutes because Jay-Z and Beyonce wanted to use the hallway. Coulton says, "I know they spent $1.3 million and I'm just a contractor from Bed-Stuy, but the treatment we received was not okay. My wife is just terribly upset. She had a C-Section, gave birth to twins, and is sore. Nobody needs this!"
Coulton also claimed that the sixth floor waiting room was also cleared and that a few of his relatives, who traveled from as long as four hours away, had to vacate the area because the superstar couples security gave them the boot. Coulton, who is up in arms about the class distinction snobbery, is only seeking an apology. Personally, I think he and his wife deserve more than an apology. I mean, security for a celebrity couple is one thing, but bulletproof windows? If you're that paranoid, then have your baby in the privacy in your own home. Why inconvenience a family who is trying to share one of the happiest moments in their lives?
Now, forever, the birth of the Coulton twins will be scarred because of this whole ordeal. There is a fix for the whole situation, however. With the $1.3 million spent at the hospital by the super couple, I'm sure some of that money can be used to pay for the Coulton's inconvenience by paying off their whole hospital bill. Now, that would be the best apology! Otherwise, Jay-Z and Beyonce look like total snobs in this whole ordeal. Then again, they are Jay-Z and Beyonce, the Hip-Hop Royal Couple! Unbelievable!
