Steph Curry came to the defense of his wife on Wednesday after some disparaging comments from Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young.

Ayesha Curry is being hit with unfair criticism over her Roku move, Second Chance Holiday, and Steph Curry is clapping back. After comments made by Gilbert Arenas on his podcast with Nick Young, We Said What We Said, the Golden State Warriors legend decided to check them.

“Hey, just wanted to check in right quick. 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’re trying to step on the accomplishments of my wife and, obviously, leading podcast tapings and topics and giving opinions on somebody else’s wife. Nick, Gil, Emmanuel and anybody else who feels the need to want to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t really know about, something that kinda 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 one off, but something needs to be said. Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I kindly suggest you just give it the happy hands, the congratulations. And maybe, just maybe, the apology can be as loud as y’all leading y’all’s shows with this topic. Appreciate the free pub. Thank you for giving a nice shoutout to ‘Second Chance Holiday,’ which y’all can find on Roku, starring Ayesha Curry.”

It was a strong statement, and one that Arenas and Young aren't going to be able to ignore. Steph rarely speaks out in this way, but clearly, he was sick and tired of seeing people be weird about his wife.

What Did Gilbert Arenas Say About Ayesha Curry

During the most recent episode of We Said What We Said, Gilbert Arenas said that Ayesha Curry was the "only blemish" on Steph's career. It was a wild statement that doesn't make sense, considering all Curry did was act in a movie.

Arenas has since responded, saying that he is sorry if Curry is offended.
