Again: Beyonce Accused Of Plagiarism For "Countdown" Music Video

Just four days ago, Beyonce debuted her video for fan favorite "Countdown" and already someone has called her out saying "this is stealing."

Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker says that Beyonce (and director Adria Petty) ripped off her work. She feels that scenes from her work in “Achterland” and “Rosas danst Rosas" were stolen and Beyonce, nor her crew, cared.

Anne took her thoughts to airwaves speaking to Studio Brussel; a Belgian radio station. “I’m not mad, but this is plagiarism. This is stealing. They took pieces from “Achterland” and “Rosas danst Rosas.” Including the dresses and a remake of the school of Van de Velde. It’s a bit rude, I must say…they don’t even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it’s a famous work," she stated.

Below is a clip created by Studio Brussel which shows specific scenes that Beyonce has replicated in her newest video. And yes...the scenes shown below are straight replicas (even down to the moves of Bey's back up dancers)!
This doesn't mark the first video which Beyonce is accused of stealing visuals. The mega star was also blamed for stealing after releasing 1+1.
