Beyonce fans are confusing Rachael Ray for designer and "Lemonade" target Rachel Roy
It couldn't have happened to a nicer celebrity chef.
As soon as Beyonce's "Lemonade" visual album debuted Saturday night and the line about "Becky with the good hair" suggested a very specific person getting between her and husband Jay-Z, her fans have been on something of a rampage, looking for a target for their fury.
And they found more than one, incidentally.
First, speculation that Rachel Roy was the real-life Becky seemed to be confirmed when the designer posted a photo to Instagram Saturday night with the caption, "Good hair, don't care." Beyonce's fans took that as enough evidence and descended on Roy's social media, forcing her to delete the photo and make her account private within hours.
But they weren't finished. Some fans apparently weren't paying close enough attention and began harassing celebrity chef Rachael Ray -- who, as far as anyone knows, has nothing to do with Beyonce and Jay-Z -- peppering her posts with angry comments and threatening to boycott her products and show.
"You're a mf homewrecker! I just got done dropping off your cooking books at my nearest homeless shelter! They can have that!! You need to learn how to keep your damn legs close longer then 30 minutes," one angry fan commented.
"Oh I loved hot chicken fajitas but I will never make them again after what you did you did to the Queen," wrote another.
Despite plenty of comments from Ray's fans trying to correct the error, the comments continued. Ray herself has not commented on the mixup.
