It was only last night that a video went viral of Beyonce looking bothered by the woman leaning over her to speak to Jay-Z while sitting courtside at the Warriors game. The woman in the video is Nicole Curran, who is the wife of the Warriors owner, Joe Lacob. After going viral, Curran found herself getting some unwanted attention by the Beyhive.
As reported by Complex, Curran spoke to ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne about the incident. Shelburne took to her Twitter to recount the conversation, stating that Curran was receiving death threats from Beyonce’s fanbase. Due to the incident, Curran disabled her social media to make the comments stop.

Curran says Jay Z asked for a vodka soda. She asked if he wanted lime with that. But it was loud in Oracle and she couldn’t hear, so she leaned over. That’s where the photos of Beyoncé looking askance at her come from.

Curran says she then went to go get them those drinks. “There was no hostility. I was trying to be a good hostess,” she said. “I’ve never experienced cyber bullying like this. I can’t believe our players go through this. That kids go through this.“
