Beyonce and her husband, Jay-Z, attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Warriors and Raptors, and a video of the singer made its way on social media, sparking up some drama.
Beyonce and Jay-Z were seated next to Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his wife, Nicole Curran. At one point, Curran leaned over to talk to Jay-Z, and video of the interaction made some people speculate about Beyonce’s behavior.

It didn’t take long for many other people on social media to start commenting on the video.
It’s not clear if Beyonce actually had a problem with Curran, but the narrative had already been made at this point.
After people found out who the woman was, they immediately went to her Instagram page and started leaving thousands of bee emojis in the comments section (Beyhive, beehive). It got so bad that Curran eventually disabled comments on her photos.

After receiving what was likely tens of thousands of new comments, Curran made a new Instagram post saying, “We should all help and support each other.” The post is no longer visible as Curran deleted her Instagram account following the harassment. (She first disabled comments, then made her account private.)
According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Curran received death threats as part of the messages. She also explained why she was talking with Jay-Z, and said she’s invited the celebrity couple to several games in the past.
Considering Curran is the one who invited both of them, it seems highly unlikely Beyonce actually had a problem with her speaking to her husband.
