Hotel Fires Employee Who Leaked Video of Jay Z and Solange

The Standard Hotel, New York, venue where Solange's attack on JayZ occurred, announced on Wednesday that it has discovered and fired the person behind the leak of the tape that showed Beyonce's sister hitting Jay Z during an argument in one of its elevators.

According to the Associated Press, the hotel said the person had been terminated for "breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video." The hotel said after the  video was first aired that it was "shocked and disappointed" by the security breach and they will now turn over "all available information to criminal authorities."

TMZ bought the tape for $250,000 after it being shopped for five days to the highest bidder. None of the high-profile stars have addressed the incident, and there's no word as to what set Solange off, but some theories have been presented. A source told People:

"Jay said something inappropriate to Beyoncé and Solange, and she snapped. When they got in the elevator, it escalated quickly the way family tensions can. It got exceptionally heated the way family moments can. Solange is super protective of Beyoncé," the insider added.
