Stephen Curry Done With Disrespect Against Wife, Calls Out Ex-Teammate

Detailed summary

Even though Ayesha has heard her share of nonsense from the public, this particular bad mouthing went too far, the point guard says.

Golden States Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has a message for everyone: Leave my wife’s name out of your mouth.

Which is a brief summary of what the point guard said on Wednesday in a social media post aimed directly at a handful of individuals, including a former teammate. Curry posted a video on social media of him speaking about the criticism surrounding wife Ayesha Curry’s new Christmas movie.

Curry spoke pointedly to ex-teammate Nick Young and NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas.

“I just wanted to check in real quick,” Curry started in the video. “I’ve been hearing a lot of noise and usually the noise doesn’t bother me, doesn’t bother Ayesha, but this one, in particular when you’re trying to step on the accomplishments of my wife and, you know, obviously leading podcasts, tapings and giving opinions on somebody else’s wife…”

Curry went on to bounce his head slightly at the last word of the sentence before addressing the key people in the conversation.

“Nick, Gil, Emmanuel, and anybody else who feels the need to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t really know about – something that kinda speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and not allowed to do. Even the ignorance behind how acting works.

“Obviously, I tried to laugh this one off but, you know, something needs to be said. Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I’d kindly suggest you just give the happy hands, the congratulations, and maybe, just. Maybe, the apology can be as loud as y’all leading y’all’s shows with this topic. Appreciate the free pub. Thank you for giving a nice shout out to ‘Second Chance Holiday.’ Which y’all con find on Roku starring Ayesha Curry.”

Shade was thrown at Ayesha on the “We Said What We Said” podcast when Young and Arenas spoke about her public image and compared her to other basketball players’ wives who should have a quieter profile image, they suggested.

The Curry family has always been in the spotlight…
