Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry took to Instagram to defend his wife, Ayesha, after several prominent podcasters called her out for her actions during a recent movie role.
“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 giving opinions on somebody else’s wife,” Curry said.
Ayesha landed a leading role on “Second Chance Holiday,” a Roku original film. She kissed her co-star Matthew Daddario at one point in the film.
Videos of this went viral and caused several podcasts to criticize Ayesha for doing so, given how they believed it made her marriage to Steph look.
“Nick [Young], Gil [Arenas], Emmanuel [Acho], and anybody else who feels the need to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t know about, something that kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world, and what they’re allowed and not allowed to do,” Curry said.
“Even the ignorance behind how acting works. Obviously, I tried to laugh this one off, but something needs to be said,” he continued. “Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I kindly suggest you give the happy hands, the congratulations. And maybe, just maybe, the apology can be as loud as y’all leading y’all shows on the topic.”
He then promoted the show. Curry’s Instagram post was captioned, “PSA – You don’t have to like & subscribe to all podcasts. Keep shining @ayeshacurry 🙌🏽”.
Major props to Curry for having his wife’s back.
