NBA star Stephen Curry has taken to social media to fire back at critics of his wife, Ayesha Curry, for her role in the movie “Second Chance Holiday.”
Former NBA players Nick Young, who played with Curry during the Golden State Warriors’ 2017-18 championship season, and Gilbert Arenas criticized Ayesha for a kissing scene she has in the movie.
“The only blemish in the family is the wife, in the sense, because she doesn’t act like the other superstars’ wives,” Arenas said on the “We Said What We Said” podcast on Saturday. “[Michael] Jordan’s wife, Cookie [Johnson], that’s Magic’s [Johnson’s] wife, Savannah [James], right, where we don’t want to hear you. She hasn’t been the American wife that the public knows.”

Stephen Curry responded in a video on social media Wednesday.
“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 try to step on the accomplishments of my wife and you know, obviously, leading podcast tapings and topics, giving opinions on somebody else’s wife,” Curry said. “Nick, Gil … and anybody else who feels the need to want to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you really don’t know about.”
“Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I’d kindly suggest you just give the happy hands, the congratulations and maybe the apology as loud as you lead your shows with this topic,” Curry concluded. “Appreciate the free pub.”
Arenas and Young both apologized on the former’s podcast, “Gil’s Arena.”
“I’m sorry, Steph. You my dog; I love you. If I say anything, I apologize like a man,” Young said.
Ayesha Curry has been married to Stephen since 2011. She first appeared onscreen in 2008 and has acted in popular shows such as “Hannah Montana” and this year’s animated film “Goat,” which was produced by her husband.
