Jay-Z’s crazy logic has a moral for us all

IN THE Hollywood lexicon of excuses for having affairs, Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z has come up trumps. He’s blamed his cheating on a dysfunctional childhood.

‘ So you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect,’ he says. ‘Like it’s deep. Then all the things happen from there: infidelity.’

A medal to Beyonce for staying with him. At least the rapper appears to be realising their three children and nine-year marriage are at stake.

‘Most people walk away and, like, the divorce rate is 50 per cent or something, ’ cos most people can’t see themselves,’ he says in tortured English.

I imagine he’s trying to say he wants save his marriage — and that he, Beyonce and the kids will all be having a happy Christmas together as a family.
