Since last week's Beyoncé-Jay-Z-Nicole-Curran debacle, we're finally finding out exactly what Nicole was saying to Jay-Z that fateful night at the Warriors vs. Raptors basketball game, and it's a game-changer (pun intended).
Since last week's Beyoncé-Jay-Z-Nicole-Curran debacle, we're finally finding out exactly what Nicole was saying to Jay-Z that fateful night at the Warriors vs. Raptors basketball game, and it's a game-changer (pun intended).
And while it looked bad, there is a little bit more to the story.
Last week Beyoncé and Jay-Z attended the NBA finals — Warriors vs. Raptors in California, where they sat next to the owner of the Warriors and his wife, Nicole Curran.
And Beyoncé's face told us everything we needed to know. Or so we thought
At first, it was hilarious. But things quickly boiled over and became a lot more serious.
It got so bad, she had to disable her comments on social media altogether to avoid the harassment.
This Twitter user seemed pretty excited about the concept of Bey getting some inspiration for her next album. Picture it: Lemonade 2: Even More Sour This Time.
Beyoncé definitely nudged Nicole with her shoulder, and although it was probably just an accident, some of the tweets about it were pretty funny, like this one that makes note of her rare Burberry.
Considering the real life death threats this poor woman was on the receiving end of, this is either in really poor taste or an eerily accurate prediction.
ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne tweeted that she had been in conversation with Nicole, who said she had been on the receiving end of death threats and even disabled her Instagram account.
Seems pretty believable to me — definitely more believable than a married woman attempting to seduce someone else's husband while that someone else is sitting right there.
She was leaning slightly over Bey so that she could hear Jay's drink order better. That should be that, but nothing is ever that simple when the Hive is involved.
A lot of adults who haven't grown up in the time of social media kind of bypassed the era where they might be cyberbullied, so this was a wake up call for Nicole.
"We should all help and support each other," she captioned the photo.
This, in combination with her sour-looking expression, while Nicole was talking to Jay, really gave fans the impression they had a reason to hate Nicole.
She posted this photo, along with a caption addressing the situation.
"I know your love runs deep but that love has to be given to every human."
She explained that fans shouldn't be spreading hate in the name of Beyoncé — because this is obviously not something she supports.
Unfortunately, that was not enough to put out the fire.
Nicole bravely faced the Beyhive, letting them know that she has no interest in Jay-Z and that the entire thing has been blown out of proportion.
"First, to take a drink order for them both when they arrived as they were our guests," she went on.
She added that the video was taken entirely out of context when she was, in fact, just trying to be a decent host.
"I am a happily married woman. Telling me to kill myself?????? Somehow I don't think she would support this," she said.
But hopefully, this all blows over so that Nicole can go back to her normal life — free of death threats and harassment from Beyoncé fans.
Recall the Hive! It looks like a lot more people are allergic to bees than we thought. Do you think the Queen B should take responsibility for the hive and tell them off? Or do you think it's not her job?
