You can now breathe a sigh of relief. Rachel Roy is not "Becky with the good hair."

I repeat.

Rachel Roy is not "Becky with the good hair," the woman Beyoncé calls out on her track "Sorry."

"I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted; it was misunderstood as something other than that," Roy told People magazine. "There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors. "Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats," she continued. "As a mother—and I know many mothers would agree—I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media sees the real issue here—the issue of cyberbullying—and how it should not be tolerated by anyone."

Yes, the Beyhive has no chill, and death threats are dumb as hell, not to mention a crime.

The world will probably never find out if "Becky" is fact or fiction or Rita Ora.
