Stephen Curry shares supportive message for Ayesha after viral video sparked backlash

Ayesha Curry opened up about her marriage to Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry on a recent episode of Red Table Talk, a Facebook Watch series hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, and Curry’s comments sparked a lively conversation on Twitter that has lasted all week. During the show, Curry discussed the dynamics of being married to an NBA star who is constantly getting attention from other women. One clip in particular went viral earlier this week.

“Something that really bothers me and, like, honestly has given me sense of a little bit of insecurity is the fact that yeah, there are all these women like throwing themselves, but me, like the past 10 years, I don’t have any of that. I have zero, this sounds weird, but like male attention. And so then I begin to internalize it, and I’m like, is something wrong with me? …. Because I don’t want it, but it would be nice to know that, like, someone’s looking.”

After the episode, “Ayesha” became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the United States, and users are still sharing countless memes about the issue days after it first went viral.

On Thursday night, Stephen Curry showed support for his wife by sharing a message in an Instagram story.

“Proud of you for being authentic and putting yourself out there – not being afraid of the potential bull s#*# and nonsense that could and did come at you. Way more positive than negative with all of this. Keep being you. I love you.”
