Steph Curry has publicly criticized former NBA players for their recent comments about his wife, Ayesha Curry, following her debut leading role in the romantic comedy “Second Chance Holiday.” The film, released on November 5, has sparked controversy due to a viral on-screen kiss between Ayesha and Matthew Daddario, which led to online speculation about her personal life.
Curry’s Public Response to Criticism
On Wednesday, Curry took to Instagram to address the backlash, specifically targeting Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young, who had criticized Ayesha on their podcast “We Said What We Said.” Curry expressed frustration over the former players’ public comments, which he felt undermined his wife’s professional achievements.
