Tina Knowles is not throwing her gavel into the court of public opinion.

The businesswoman, mother of pop superstar Beyoncé, is responding to speculation that she "liked" a social media post about rape allegations against Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z.

In an amended lawsuit filed Sunday, the billionaire music mogul was accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl alongside fellow hip-hop star Sean "Diddy" Combs at an after-party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000. The woman, identified anonymously as Jane Doe, brought a lawsuit against Combs in October for the alleged assault.

Soon after news of the lawsuit broke, reports emerged that Knowles allegedly liked an Instagram post about Jay-Z's legal trouble from ABC7 Chicago. The post's caption read, "Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter and Sean 'Diddy' Combs are accused of raping a then-13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards, according to an amended civil lawsuit filed Sunday."
