On Friday, In Touch Weekly reported that the 34-year-old singer was planning to take Knowles -- her father and former manager -- to court over ownership of the Destiny's Child brand, but Knowles' rep tells ET exclusively that the allegations are "categorically untrue."
"These dangerous rumors defame my family name," Knowles said in the statement to ET on Saturday. "They have no validity and hold no merit."
"There are many other important topics needing America's attention," he added. "No one needs more unnecessary negativity. Media like this needs to get on higher ground. I, for one, am focusing on lectures and seminars that help people achieve something positive and achieve better lives."
He's saying that because he wants to steer the focus in another direction. he's only concerned about his name and his image which has already been tarnished enough.

Ugh.
Your cheating, philandering and having children you refuse to claim and won't even meet outside of your marriage(s!) with random women that you tried your damnedest to not support (knowing full well you can afford it) did far more defamation to the family name than any half-baked article from some gossip rag could. Bye, Mr. Noles.
