It’s a near-perfect Destiny’s Child reunion, y’all! Two-thirds of the iconic trio—Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland—stepped out together at a rally in Houston, Texas on October 25 to support Vice President Kamala Harris. But wait…where was Michelle Williams? No need to fire up the “Where You At?” memes—our girl had a very legit excuse.
Turns out Michelle was stuck living her best thespian life on Broadway. Yep, in a recent appearance on Sherri (October 29), Michelle spilled the tea about why she couldn’t make it to Texas: she’s busy playing Viola Van Horn in Death Becomes Her. And before you say “Broadway over Beyoncé?!”—Michelle is here to remind us that the theater life isn’t all jazz hands and standing ovations. Sometimes, it means missing out on epic moments with your girls.
“I was so happy for them,” Michelle said, “but this was the first time I couldn’t show up for something I really wanted to be at.” She added with a chuckle, “That’s the Broadway life, honey. I had to sacrifice!” 🎤
Still, Michelle made sure to shout out Bey and Kelly for holding it down without her. “They represented and held me down in their own way,” she said—probably without so much as a “Say My Name” text thread, too. Professionalism at its finest!
And for the haters wondering why the trio isn’t joined at the hip 24/7, Michelle has the perfect clapback: “Y’all, we ain’t together all the time! I live in Atlanta, they’re in L.A. We gotta spread the fabulousness across state lines, okay?” 💁♀️ But don’t get it twisted—Michelle hinted that the three are actually tighter than we all think. Translation: they probably have more group FaceTime calls than your family on Thanksgiving.
At the rally, Beyoncé and Kelly went all in with their support for Kamala Harris. No word yet on whether they worked “Independent Women” into the speech, but knowing those two, it was definitely a vibe.
And listen—Michelle may have missed out on this one, but Broadway better keep an eye out, because if this reunion ever happens again, we need Michelle front and center. Until then, she’s out here slaying on the stage, reminding us all that life sometimes means breaking up reunions to make it to curtain call. 🎭
