Taniya Hattersfield, 23, of College Park, GA was found dead Tuesday
morning of self-inflicted stab wounds to the chest. Taniya Hattersfield
was what appears to be a new member of the National Church of Bey, an
organization based on the religion called Beyism. The religion was
founded to worship the R&B superstar Beyoncé Knowles and boasts
hundreds of members that call themselves Divine Divas and even view
Beyoncé’s music as sacred text.
The body of Hattersfield was found in a pool of blood in the basement
of the family home surrounded by hundreds of candles and a suicide note
stuffed in her pants pocket. She lay at the steps of a homemade shrine
to Beyoncé.
The exact details of the suicide note were not revealed, but police
did indicate that Hattersfield took her own life as a sacrifice to
Beyoncé at the request of the National Church of Bey. We were able to
speak with the family of Hattersfield. Her mother had this shocking
response: “She was crazy,” her mother said, “Plum f-ckin’ crazy! You
can’t be nothin’ but crazy to take your life over some lightskin b***h
that sings. I mean, I know that’s my daughter, but I’m just keepin’ it
real.”
Hattersfield’s father was less vulgar, but equally shocking. “I
don’t even consider that my daughter. My sperm don’t make crazy b****s
that worships singers,” the father said, “just because her mama and I
had a good time one Friday night don’t make her my daughter.”
Rage has increased over the National Church of Bey that has gotten a
lot of press coverage over the last week or so. Many people have called
for Beyoncé to speak out against the new religion. However, there has
been no word from Bey’s camp as of yet.
Meanwhile, Taniya Hattersfield’s body has yet to be claimed by any
family members. It currently sits in the hospital morgue waiting for a
proper burial. If her body is not claimed, Taniya may eventually be laid
to rest in a Potter’s Field, a cemetery typical for homeless people
that have no known families to claim them.
