Steph Curry defends his wife
Steph Curry is coming to his wife’s defense.
Earlier this week, Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young commented on Ayesha Curry kissing another man in a new holiday movie.
“The only blemish in the family is the wife in the sense because she doesn’t act like the other superstars’ wives. [Michael] Jordan’s wife, Cookie [Johnson], that’s Magic’s [Johnson’s] wife, Savannah [James], right, where we don’t want to hear you,” Arenas said on the podcast. “She hasn’t been the American wife that the public knows.”
Gilbert Arenas on the "We Said What We Said" Show:
"[Steph Curry is] the definition of what everybody sees as a father. … Got the best kids. The only blemish in the family is the wife [Ayesha], in a sense, because she doesn’t act like the other superstars’ wives… she goes to the DMs, chat with dudes cause she needs the attention because he doesn’t give her attention."

Curry saw Arenas and Young speaking about his wife and made a video firing back.
“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”
“Something that kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and what they’re not allowed to do, even the ignorance behind how acting works, obviously I tried to laugh this off but something needs to be said.”
Steph Curry calls out Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, and everyone else talking about Ayesha Curry, telling them to keep his wife’s name out of their mouths 😳

Arenas responded to Curry’s comments.
“All I said is he doesn’t get in trouble for nothing. He says the right things. If you gotta judge this family, his only blemish is what his wife said. That’s all I said. If there is a blemish, it’s that.”
“I’m sorry he was offended.”
Gilbert Arenas responds to Steph Curry by saying Steph is damn near perfect and the only blemish on his family’s reputation are the things Ayesha Curry has said and done.
“I’m sorry if he’s offended.” 😳
