"I can't believe our players go through this. That kids go through this."
Curran told ESPN she was asking both Jay-Z and Beyonce — invited to the game as guests — if they wanted drinks, and when the cameras honed in on them, she was asking Jay-Z if he wanted lime for his vodka soda. That's when Beyonce's facial expression turned serious.Yvette Noel-Schure, Beyonce's publicist, asked the singer's fans through Instagram to stop the cyber-bullying.
She wrote, in part:"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."
