Beyoncé‘s beyhive is known for their vicious behavior at times, but now their latest attack has prompted the singers publicist to speak out on the singers behalf.
On Wednesday (June 5), Bey and JAY-Z attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals, and sat front row beside Nicole Curran, the wife of the Golden State Warriors owner.
As you’ve likely seen from the footage that went viral on Wednesday, Curran leaned over to speak with the billionaire rapper, prompting what appeared to be a side eye from Beyoncé and what many took as a sign of disrespect.

The beyhive quickly took to social media to attack Curran on all her social media accounts and even unleashed some vicious death threats, prompting Curran to delete all her accounts.
After the viral moment, Bey’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, took to social media to sound off on the drama while reflecting on the anniversary of the ‘On the Run II’ tour.
Yvette asked for the hive to stop “spewing hate” and encouraged them to spread love in honor of Bey. Get into her statement below.
“I am looking back today at the start of The OTRII tour, one year ago,” she wrote alongside a photo of the Carters from the tour. “It was a place of joy, unimaginable entertainment from two of the best performers in the world, and a place of love. Every single day on that tour I saw love. Which is why I also want to speak here to the beautiful BeyHiVE. I know your love runs deep but that love has to be given to every human. It will bring no joy to the person you love so much if you spew hate in her name. We love you.”
Before deleting her pages, Curran addressed the drama on the Shade Room’s Instagram post and revealed that she had no clue that her actions were disrespectful and said it was all love between she and Bey.
“Listen Beehive, I respect Queen B. I love her! I talked to her husband twice tonight. First, to take a drink order for them both when they arrived as they were our guests. Second, to explain why I gave his wife a rose from a fan. All of this has been taken out of context. I am a happily married woman. Telling me to kill myself?????? Somehow I don’t think she would support this.”
Ramona Shelurne has since spoken to Curran and posted the following.
