Beyonce was confronted at the swanky restaurant Nobu in New York City by two members of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The two had won an eBay auction, benefiting VH1's Save the Music Foundation, to dine with the star. Beyonce had no idea they were PETA members.
As they sat at the table, Beyoncé, who has a fashion line with her mother that uses fur, had no idea what was coming. After placing their orders, the PETA members confronted the singer.
The PETA members then pulled out a portable DVD player and began playing a tape of Pamela Anderson's attack on the fur industry, which highlights graphic footage of the process of killing animals for their fur.
Also present at the table -- Beyonce's mother Tina and her sister Solange.
The PETA members were swiftly escorted out of the restaurant. Beyonce and her relatives stayed inside.
Calls to Beyonce's reps were not immediately returned.
