 We all are happy for power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z as they welcome their new daughter Blue Ivy a few days ago and what should have been a very private and joyful moment for the new parents is turning out to be a huge fiasco which involves their security detail and other parents who were kept from seeing their own newborns at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital.
Beyonce delivered her baby girl via a scheduled C-Section on the sixth floor of the building, where the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) just happens to be located and where Brooklyn resident Neil Coulon's newborn premature twin girls were being kept for observation. Coulon says he had to jump through hoops just to see his daughters because of the stars' security team.
Coulon also explained that when he did get a chance to see his girls, it wasn't on his own terms.
A hospital spokesperson speaking on condition of anonymity says the high-profile couple - well-known for their privacy and who are rarely photographed together spent .3 million to have the entire floor to themselves and were accompanied by an entourage of bodyguards.
Although Beyonce gave birth on the sixth floor of the Hospital, she'll be recovering on the fourth floor in a rented out wing the couple reserved and renovated including the addition of a bulletproof door (room is completely bulletproof) over the last few months leading up to the birth of baby Blue.
The hospital does let patients reserve rooms or suites for their recovery after childbirth; but an insider says that the .3 million that Beyonce and Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) reportedly paid is exaggerated.
Despite a staff member confirming the complaints from visitors and patients, hospital spokeswoman Anne Silverman says she hasn't heard anything and that Coulon's complaint was "the first time" she heard about the commotion.
Owing to the new parents excitement of their first born, it might have been a bit too much or overkill to have done such a thing. Why not just save the hassle of spending that much and aggravating other people by having Beyonce give birth at a private hospital or at home? Money seems to be not an option therefore it should not present a problem for both A-List parents.
