Tin foil hats to the left, to the left.
Conspiracy (or conspironcé, in this case) theorists have something Beyoncé-related to talk about again. On Monday, TMZ released footage of an elevator scuffle (or kerfuffle — where's the audio?!) between Bey's husband Jay Z and her sister Solange after the Met Gala on May 6.
Beyoncé's cool demeanor throughout the brawl raised eyebrows, leaving conspiracists drunk in love off the most popular Queen B-related theories.
1. If I were an Illuminati
Theory: Beyoncé is an influential member of the Illuminati.
Evidence: A hand gesture and the fact that Beyoncé is, like, super famous.
In 1776, a group of German men formed a secret society to ensure that Kelly Rowland would never shine brightest in Destiny's Child. You can thank that same tight-lipped dude-fest for the "Single Ladies" dance.
But really, a group of Bavarian men founded the Illuminati on May 1, 1776, with the goals of abolishing religious influences in the public sector and supporting gender equality, among other things that have little to do with the current perception of the group.
Bavarian ruler Charles Theodore permanently dissolved the Illuminati in 1785, but the group is still regularly name-checked by theorists who believe a revival of the secret society has been responsible for everything from Waterloo to Beyoncé's Super Bowl XLVII performance.
Beyoncé's supposed link to the group is backed by a frequent use of a triangle hand gesture. The triangle — and its all-seeing eye — is a commonly cited symbol of Illuminati believers, but also happens to be a sign that Jay Z used to promote his record label, Roc-A-Fella Records.
