I mean everyone on this site always comes for her when it comes to her writing credits but is there any real proof that she actually steal them or is it just speculation?
“It doesn’t matter who’s writing the songs, or who’s producing the songs. It’s who’s delivering the motherf****r. It really doesn’t matter if Beyonce is actually sitting there physically writing the song. Even if she’s not, it don’t mean she can’t. She might not have the time. It doesn’t matter, because you can work with artists who write, or work with artists that’s Beyonce’s level… For me… It doesn’t matter. The people outside looking in, they wanna know if she writes her own songs or if she ain’t. At the end of the day, she’s on a level where things are handed to her; people wanna be a part of what she’s doing. She either wrote it, or she can put her name on it – it doesn’t matter because that’s the boss you are.”

I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyoncé about "Bootylicious," and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track. And I was just like, "What?" I called Mathew-which was a big mistake; I got emotional, and I apologized after-but I called Mathew and said, "Mathew, like, why?"
And he explained to me, in a nice way, he said, "People don't want to hear about Rob Fusari, producer from Livingston, N.J. No offense, but that's not what sells records. What sells records is people believing that the artist is everything." And I'm like, "Yeah, I know, Mathew. I understand the game. But come on, I'm trying too. I'm a squirrel trying to get a nut, too."

the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which, as noted in the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday, has decided not to recognize her as a primary songwriter of “Listen” — her signature number from the film “Dreamgirls” — even though she is credited as one of the song’s four writers.

The "Listen" situation doesn't prove that she's a thief. It just shows that she contributed the least to the song out of the four writers. Under AMPAS rules, no more than three writers can be nominated for a song. I agree with your other points though.
I guess the answer is yes
