Tina Knowles is currently touring the world in support of her new book Matriarch: A Memoir.

On Friday, March 2, the mom of Beyoncé, 43, and Solange, 38, made her stop in Los Angeles. 

Keke Palmer, 31, acted as the host and moderator for the event, not knowing she’d need to spring into action to preserve the 71-year-old’s modesty.

In a TikTok video shared by a fan, Knowles could be seen holding up her gorgeous silver strapless sparkling gown, attempting to prevent the dress from falling off her shoulders.

Palmer, in a a cute embroidered denim ensemble, jumped up from her chair and went over to Knowles, asking, ‘Is this it?,’ before another woman came onstage to provide a style ᴀssist.

‘They was acting like it was a whole murder show,’ Palmer next joked, mimicking some of the facial expressions she saw from the event staff in reaction to Ms. Tina’s wardrobe malfunction.

‘I thought it was serious,’ she continued. ‘I saw the teleprompter [start] typing, ‘We need something.’ The hell do y’all mean? They went in for no reason.’

As Palmer diffused the situation with her jokes, Knowles continued trying to get her dress to stay up with some ᴀssist from the event staff. 

‘Glad that’s over,’ Palmer remarked when she was alone on stage with Tina again, adding: ‘They was gonna give me a heart attack. Whew! So back to the book.’

Knowles is on tour promoting her memoir which tells her life story from when she was a girl through her rise as a business owner.

The book also talks about how she guided her daughters as well as Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child to ‘global commercial success,’ the synopsis adds.

Her tour kicked off in Washington, D.C. on April 30 with Michelle Obama. She next goes to Houston where Kelly Rowland, 44, acts as her moderator before she heads to London to finish her tour.

Beyoncé’s mother Tina recently fought back the tears as she recounted her ‘devastating’ breast cancer battle and divorce on an episode of Loose Women last month – and admitted ‘I only feel whole now I’m 71.’

Tina was recently diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer after doctors discovered two tumors during a mammogram appointment.

She appeared on the ITV chat show to talk to Charlene White, 44, and Jane Moore, 62, about her new book Matriarch. 

Her recent diagnosis was touched upon after Charlene was keen to find out if she had a group of close pals that she could turn to in a time of need.

Tina said: ‘Friendship with women is of the utmost importance to me, it’s one of my biggest priorities to stay connected because when I went through that, I depended on my daughters.

‘I didn’t tell everybody in my friends group. I didn’t have to tell them what was going on.

‘I just went to Houston, gathered my girlfriends, we went to church, we went to lunch, we went parting at the club, dancing.’

As her emotions got the better of her and her eyes started to tell up, she continued: ‘I just told them I don’t want to talk about what’s going on, but I need you right now. 

‘They were all right there with me.They’ve been a big part of my life, my whole life.’

Speaking about the support from her famous daughters, Tina added: ‘With this one, they were the first people I told.

‘They were the only people I told for a while and they rallied around me, they always have at those very difficult times.

‘When I went through divorce, the first time I was devastated, and my girls were right there to lift me up and tell me that I can do things, and make me laugh because you know at those times, you need laughter too and they are my rock really.’
