The Beyhive is buzzing about Game 3 of the NBA Finals and it has nothing to do with basketball.

A viral video of Beyoncé and Jay-Z sitting courtside at Wednesday’s showdown between the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors caught everyone’s attention after Beyoncé looked less than thrilled with someone leaning over her.

The woman doing the leaning: Her name is Nicole Curran and she’s the wife of the Golden State Warriors majority owner, Joseph Lacob.

In footage posted to Twitter by ESPN, Beyoncé appeared annoyed as Curran chatted across her with Jay.”Beyoncé don’t like that girl beside her at all,” one fan wrote on Twitter, while another added: “How dare her talk across Beyoncé.” The Beyhive unleashed their wrath, swarming Curran’s Instagram with bee emojis in the comments to the point where Curran had to deactivate her account. She told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne that she disabled her Instagram because she was getting “death threats on social media.”

Curran told Shelburne that she was asking for the couple’s drink order during the viral video and only leaned over Beyoncé because it was hard to hear in Oakland’s Oracle Arena.

If you read Curran’s lips in the video, it looks as though she’s asking, “What do you want?” Jay’s lips read: “Vodka … vodka soda.” Curran appears to ask, “Want lime?”

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

Beyoncé still appeared to have a good time during the Raptors win over the Warriors, sharing pictures and even the infamous video on her personal Instagram account.

However, Queen Bey cropped Curran out of the footage. Ouch.
