Dad Angry Over Beyonce Baby Security: Banned From Seeing Preemie Twin Girls at Lenox Hill Hospital
Beyonce and Jay-Z paid to rent out an entire floor at the hospital while giving birth to their daughter.
Celebrities may get the laps of luxury, but Beyonce and Jay-Z are feeling the aftermath by a disgruntled father who was banned from seeing his preemie twin girls last night at Lenox Hill Hospital.
Neil Coulon, 38, of Brooklyn said his wife was stressed delivering two premature girls, but the stress was tripled by Beyoncé’s bodyguards treating Lenox Hill Hospital like an exclusive nightclub.
“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday — just because they wanted to use the hallway,” said Coulon.
“They should have been more strategic about it,” he continued. “These are children with problems in intensive care and you’re just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology.”
We’re not exactly sure that Coulon is going to get one.
Rumors say that Jay-Z ordered several bottles of champagne and wine for friends and family members who were in attendance for the birth of their baby girl Blue Ivy.
Lenox Hill staffers told the Daily News that Beyoncé and Jay-Z paid $1.3 million to seal off and redecorate a wing at the hospital.
So is this appropriate? Do you think that Coulon deserves an apology? How do you feel about Beyonce and Jay-Z taking over a hospital?
In my opinion, celebrities should either be treated as the rest or deliver at home. How do you feel?

Divas like Mariah Carey, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Hudson, etc. didnt go through such elaborate lengths to give birth. Heck, Even crazy Tom Cruise didn’t use his money and ego to compromise others’ safety. Covering up security cameras potentially endangers other expectant parents and newborns. I am more disgusted with this public hospital caving in for the almighty dollar. Happy they had a healthy child. but they also kept a scared father from his PREMATURE twins. That caused me to lose respect for this so called celebrity power couple.
lclaspill commented on Jan 10 12 at 1:16 pmthey shouldn’t be allowed to do this ……they could have taken a suite at the end of a hallway and had guards at the door …and stayed in their room if they didn’t want to be bothered and had the baby stay with them….maybe they could have taken two rooms over ….but what they did was rediculous
Amber commented on Jan 24 12 at 2:14 pmI am absolutely disgusted!! I had my twins at 29 weeks and it was absolutely miserable to be in labor, knowing that I shouldn’t be. On top of it, the NICU is a heartbreaking and gutting experience as is! It’s all more than miserable! That family deserves more than an apology! I have no respect for Beyonce and Jay-Z anymore.
