Beyoncé, Solange and Jay-Z have broken their silence over the infamous elevator fight incident involving the latter two, releasing a joint statement this morning.

The statement, which doesn't go into why the incident occurred, read:

"As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.

"Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”

“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”

Footage of the fight, which occurred after the recent Met Gala fashion event went viral after it was posted on tabloid website TMZ earlier this week.
