| Beyonce released this family snap on her official website |
Beyonce, hubby Jay Z, sister Solange and mum Tina were all smiles as they posed for a family picture in New Orleans. Last week the shocking footage of Losing You singer Solange attacking Jay leaked. Since, they’ve been steadily cranking up the PR offensive, keen to distance themselves from rumours of a family rift. First the sisters and Jay released a joint statement saying they love each other and want to move forward. Queen Bey later posted a beaming picture of her and Solange. “May 17, New Orleans,” the mum of one wrote next to it. Then Bey, 32, shared this picture perfect snapshot of family unity on her official website.

The foursome posed for the smiley picture after they shared a leisurely lunch at Cafe Amelie in New Orleans along with Solange’s boyfriend, music video director Alan Ferguson. Another shot shows baby Blue Ivy, dressed in a cute green and white dress just like her mum, perched on Bey's knee. Last week jaw-dropping footage, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, was captured by surveillance cameras inside an elevator at a Met Gala after-party, which appeared to show the rapper being attacked by Beyonce's sister.

The CCTV footage showed Solange lunge at Jay Z before striking and kicking him while Beyonce looked on. An unidentified man understood to be the A-list couple's personal security tried to restrain Solange and hit the emergency stop button in the lift, presumably to stop the brawl from spilling out into the hotel reception area. It's still currently unclear what triggered the raging clash but moments later when the trio left the Standard hotel, Beyonce travelled with sister Solange while Jay Z took a separate vehicle alone. Whatever the cause, it's clear the family are trying their best to move on from the incident.
