In new clips from Beyonce's GQ interview, the Grammy winner finally addresses those conspiracy theories that claim she faked her pregnancy and didn't actually give birth to daughter Blue Ivy.

"I felt like I kind of had to protect my mother, because when people made up the silliest rumor about me not really being pregnant, she was there when I went through all of those things. And my sister. They were very, very defensive. It's not personal to me, and it comes along with the job, but the lack of respect - people will go too far sometimes," she explained.

Not only did Bey give birth, but she claims that the experience changed her whole outlook on life!

"When I gave birth, that was the first time I truly let go and surrendered. And it taught me how amazing that feels... giving birth made me realize the power of being a woman. I have so much more substance in my life. And expressing that excitement and that sensuality and the connection I have with my husband - I'm a lot more comfortable with that now. I actually feel like my child introduced me to myself," she gushed.

Take that haters!
