Steph Curry Defends Wife Ayesha From Gilbert Arenas' 'Blemish in the Family' Comment

Steph Curry is defending his wife, Ayesha, after a viral clip of her on-screen kiss in her Roku Channel holiday film ‘Second Chance Holiday,’ spared unexpected conversation online. Ayesha stars in a holiday rom-com as a dating expert whose Christmas curse keeps her from finding love, but some critics took issue with her kissing another man on screen. Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas escalated the criticism on the ‘We Said What We Said’ podcast, calling Ayesha ‘the only blemish in the family’ and comparing her to the wives of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and LeBron James. Steph rarely weighs in on controversies like this, but he called out Arenas and former teammate Nick Young by name, saying the comments reflect a bigger conversation about what women are allowed to do and asked for an apology as loud as the criticism.
