Lenox Hill Hospital Orders Internal Investigation


The head of Lenox Hill Hospital, where Beyonce gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter last Saturday, has launched and internal investigation into allegations that Carter family security kept other families away from their own babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in order to accommodate Beyonce and Blue...

From NY Daily News
The head of Lenox Hill Hospital said he’s ordered an internal investigation into complaints the hospital’s added security for Beyonce’s baby kept other parents from seeing their newborns.

Executive Director Frank Danza is interviewing parents who used his hospital’s birthing center the same time as the singer, he told the Daily News Tuesday in his first interview since the special treatment fiasco erupted.

The News reported Monday, and again Tuesday, that a family from Brooklyn and another from the Bronx were kept from seeing their kids in the neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

“The internal investigation was prompted by my own viewing of the news stories, which had indicated there were more parents, and those parents were in communication and had concerns,” Danza said.

Danza spoke out after a second dad came forward Tuesday claiming Beyonce’s bodyguards had turned the baby ward into her personal nursery.

And he’s denying Beyonce and rap mogul hubby, Jay-Z, paid $1.3 million to rent out an entire floor.

The power couple booked several newly built “executive suites,” paying the standard rate of up to $800 per room per night, he said. He also dismissed reports that Jay-Z financed recently completed renovations.

“The stars really did align for them,” Danza said.
