J'accuse, Queen Bey - Over the years, the one thing we can count on besides Beyoncé’s music and epic performances are people popping out of the woodwork ready to accuse the performer of “stealing” ideas as her own. Some of these are total head scratchers and others are so absolutely left field that you can’t help but laugh at some of them. Here’s the very exhausting list of things Bey has been accused of stealing. —Jon Reyes(Photo: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

The latest accusation of “stealing” comes from filmmaker Matthew Fulks for the alleged use of his short film for this trailer. Fulks cites various similar elements like graffiti, staircases, poetry, empty parking lots, and ominous figures — among others. -  (Photo: Daniela Vesco/Invision for Parkwood Entertainment)

The visuals for the “Hold Up” segment were the first casualty of public opinion when it began to be pointed out that the visuals were similar to Pipilotti Rist’s “Ever Is Overall” — because walking menacingly with a bat in slow motion has only been done once. - (Photo: HBO)

In the court of public opinion, Bey was accused of stealing from Bob Fosse for the “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” choreography. It was never a secret that Beyoncé had been inspired by the choreographer as she explained in 106 & Park back in 2008. - (Photo: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images)

When Beyoncé released the visuals for “Countdown” in 2011, the editing and choreography bared resemblance to some work by famed choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, but very much in line with what Beyoncé did for her 2008 “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” Except this time the choreographer wasn’t cited as an influence. - (Photo: Isaac Brekken/Getty Images)

This one is more of a doozy. The striking visuals for Bey’s 2011 Billboard Music Awards performance were immediately cited as having been taken from another performance in 2010 by Italian singer Lorella Cuccari. -  (Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images)

Canadian artist Anjulie went on Twitter and claimed: “so happy to b the visual inspiration behind the new @beyonce video” — the Tweet has now been deleted. She was referring to her own “Stand by the Music” video, which features urban mobs and a dystopian society “inspiring” Bey’s own “Superpower” visuals. Oh, the muscle stretching that must have occurred for that massive reach. - (Photo: Mark Davis/WireImage)
