Two months after appearing on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Ayesha Curry’s comments about her marriage to Stephen Curry have gone viral. Former Golden State Warriors player Gilbert Arenas has publicly defended Ayesha amid the online backlash.
In a post on his YouTube channel, Arenas has sided with Ayesha despite all the hate she has been receiving over the past week. The ex-Washington Wizards All-Star explained that Ayesha had the right to be honest about her feelings back then. Nothing has changed since they are still together with four children.
“I might be the only person that’s on his wife’s side because I understand what she is actually saying and the fact that so many people are hating this woman. You all are lost. I’m sorry, y’all not understanding what she is really saying. She’s saying she didn’t see herself with kids, she didn’t see herself married, she’s seen herself as a career woman. … She didn’t have preconceived notions like he is gonna be Steph Curry, and I just want to marry him to sit under him,” Arenas said.
Arenas added that Ayesha’s intentions with Steph were pure because they had it all planned out until he became an NBA superstar. Ayesha sacrificed her dreams to become a mother, which she said she fell into later on.
What Did Ayesha Curry Say to Outrage People Online?
Ayesha Curry appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast to discuss her marriage, motherhood and career. Curry opened up about her initial view on marriage, which was the main driver of the entire backlash on her from people on social media.
“I didn’t want kids, I didn’t want to get married. I thought I was gonna be a career girl and that’s it. And then it happened so early in my life, I didn’t even have time to think about what I wanted anymore,” Ayesha said.
A part of the interview that was omitted from the recent uploads was Ayesha saying she has no regrets. She was happy being the wife of Steph Curry and the mother to their four children: daughters Riley and Ryan, and sons Canon and Caius.
The couple has been together since 2008, though they previously met as teenagers in North Carolina, as reported by People.com. They got married in 2011, welcoming Riley a year later. Steph wouldn’t reach superstardom until the 2013-14 NBA season, when he was injury-free and started making a ton of 3-point shots.
