This “Becky with the good hair” drama is out of control. It’s Rachel Roy. No, it’s TV chef Rachael Ray. Now it’s Rita Ora. Oh, wait — it’s actually none of them.
Beyoncé commandeered the headlines following her one-two punch of the Lemonade special on HBO and the album she dropped after the credits rolled. The Beyhive, that would be her loyal fandom, has since been on the hunt to out “Becky with the good hair,” the mistress she refers to in her song “Sorry.” Unless you’re a true Beyoncé loyalist, the whole thing is exhausting and confusing — even to other celebrities.
With just two tweets, Alyssa Milano made us LOL — and want to hug her — when she asked:
Wait. Can someone explain this to me? Who cheated on who and with who? (I’ve never felt older than while typing this tweet.)

For serious. And that was followed by:
And who is Becky?

The 43-year-old What Goes Around Comes Around star is in good company with other people baffled by Becky. Twitter is filled with people asking the very same question.

Then there are the people who have no time for those who want to know who “Becky with the good hair” is.

I’m going to have to explain “Becky with the good hair” to my mom at some point, and I have to live with this truth.

We can answer most of your burning questions about Lemonade and Becky in this — Your Guide to ‘Lemonade,’ Beyoncé’s Deeply Personal Visual Album — but until Beyoncé identifies Becky her real name, the guessing game will continue.
And let’s be honest — that will never happen because this mystery is propelling album sales. Becky equals big bucks for Bey.
