Beyonce's Hospital Denies Report Singer Rented Entire Maternity Floor For $1.3 Million
Posted on Mon Jan 9, 2012 02:45 PM PDT
Now that Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby girl Blue Ivy Carter has arrived, Lenox Hill Hospital in New York is clearing the air about "inaccurate media reports regarding the presence of the Carter family at the hospital."
In a statement, the hospital writes:
- "Lenox Hill Hospital and its staff were delighted to welcome the Carter family for the birth of their firstborn on Saturday evening, but we are troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports. The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family."
Various online reports claimed hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and also that employees working in the maternity ward were required to turn over cell phones when they clocked in.
The statement went on to say:
- "The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days. No security plan that we or the Carters' security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU."
Jay-Z and Beyonce released a statement on Monday saying baby Blue Ivy "was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives. Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."
Do you believe that no special arrangements were made for baby Blue Ivy?

delivered naturally...by the surrogate
Um.. yeah sure.. our tax dollars being used for her scheming convenience..
Thats a lie, theres been reports these entitled elitist douche bags are preventing new parents from seeing their kids. Seriously, it happens with every single a listers..You're not important, no one wants to steal your stupid looking monkey of a child.
Non-celebrity Neil Coulon, whose wife delivered two premature and underweight girls on Wednesday, says hospital secretly wont let him past the velvet rope to see the mother and daughters!
Coulon says that he as been repeatedly kicked out of the hospital hallway AND even the waiting room! He claims:
“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday - just because they wanted to use the hallway. They should have been more strategic about it. These are children with problems in intensive care and you're just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology.”
He said bodyguards wearing headsets even cleared the sixth floor waiting room, kicking his relatives to the curb.
The new dad thinks the famous couple must be out of their mind to assume someone visiting a baby in intensive care has the slightest interest in them. Coulon says,
“This is the NICU. Nobody cares if you're a celebrity. Nobody is star-gazing. They just want to see their children."
and to think you idiots treat celebrities like they are gods...sigh maybe one day that'll all change
Can't say it was a c-section if she had a surrogate bc then she would have a scar, duh! SO obvious.
I bet anything that the confusion came about because the surrogate had a csection, but that info wasn't supposed to come out.
All to weird and mysterious.
Who gives a crap about those goofy ass negros...
This one time at vapid camp, a surrogate had my baby.
"Planet Of The Apes" was shot there?(THE BIRTH OF ANOTHER APE)
WITH JAY-Z AS THE BIG STAR?
Regardless, of what we think of the child's name, all that matters is that she & her parents are healthy & happy. And I agree did people not see when Beyoncè was in a bikini with a full belly? I don't believe she used a surrogate, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's her private business if she did, & we have no right to judge. If you are sick of hearing about them, then don't read the post. Just skip over it as I do when I don't choose to read an article. No need to be negative with your comments. And while "Blue" is different, in the circle & lifestyle this child will be raised in due to who her parents are, it probably won't be odd at all. She'll have to be protected until she's older just like all celebrity kids & won't be in the "normal" every day joe environments that we will. Those around her probably won't think twice about her name. Like I said, regardless of all the rumors, let's just be happy the child is healthy. Congrats Beyonce' & Jay-Z
