BEYONCE ACCUSED OF BEING CHEAP...AGAIN: This time, she reportedly made her dancers pay their own airfare from N.Y. to L.A.
*Another story of Beyonce trying to save a buck at the expense of her dancers has turned up in the New York Post.
Last week, the singer made headlines for allegedly paying her background folk far less than the union salary for their work on her music video, which she is funding from her own pocket.
This week, Page Six is reporting that the “Dreamgirls” star has asked her background dancers to pay for their own flights from New York to L.A. to begin rehearsing for upcoming tours and videos behind her current album, “B’Day.”
The column quotes a source as saying the struggling performers were asked to "work this week for a measly $400 per video." The insider also said that Beyoncé's dancers were too afraid to approach anyone in charge about the plane tickets, believing they’d miss out on the opportunity.
"They were told that they couldn't call their agents and that if they didn't agree, they would not be hired," according to the source.
