Jay-Z and Beyonce attend Game Three of the 2019 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors at ORACLE Arena on June 05, 2019 in Oakland, California.
Beyoncé‘s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, has spoken out about the behavior of her client's fans just hours after a woman caught in a viral picture with Bey started receiving death threats.
Nicole Curran, wife of Golden State Warrirors owner Joe Lacob, was pictured sitting with Jay Z and Beyoncé during Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night. The image, in which Beyoncé looked a little annoyed, became an instant meme and led to some fans targeting Curran with abuse online.
Shortly after this story was reported Noel-Schure posted an image of Bey and Jay on her Instagram and wrote a caption that both commemorated an anniversary and looked to the future.
“I am looking back today at the start of The OTRII tour, one year ago. It was a place of joy, unimaginable entertainment from two of the best performers in the world, and a place of love,” Noel-Schure wrote. “Every single day on that tour I saw love. Which is why I also want to speak here to the beautiful BeyHive.”
Noel-Schure went on to say that the love fans show for Beyoncé “has to be given to every human.” She continued: “It will bring no joy to the person you love so much if you spew hate in her name."
Speaking to a reporter on Thursday, Curran said she had disabled comments on her Instagram in a bid to stop people sending her abusive messages.
