Follow-up: Stephen Curry Posts Video Calling Out Podcasters, Demands Apology for Remarks About His Wife Ayesha

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry posted a self-recorded video to Instagram on November 11, calling out several retired players who had criticized his wife, Ayesha Curry, on podcasts and demanding an apology. It was Curry's first direct video response to the controversy, a week after Ayesha's Roku original holiday romance "Second Chance Holiday" premiered on November 5 and a kissing scene from the film went viral on social media.

In the video, Curry said he had been hearing a lot of noise, and that the noise usually does not bother him or Ayesha, but this time was different, because the critics were stepping on his wife's accomplishments and giving opinions on somebody else's wife to lead their podcast tapings and topics. Naming Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas and Emmanuel Acho, among others, he said weighing in on something they do not really know about speaks to a bigger conversation about how they view women in this world and what women are allowed and not allowed to do, and reflects ignorance about how acting works. His Instagram caption read: "PSA - You don't have to like & subscribe to all podcasts. Keep shining @ayeshacurry."

The dispute began with the film's kissing scene. Ayesha plays Chelsey, a dating expert who reconnects with a former flame played by Matthew Daddario, in her first leading role in a feature film. After clips of the kiss went viral, Ayesha herself replied on X, "It's not even real, you guys are annoying." Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy questioned the scene on the Speakeasy podcast he co-hosts with Emmanuel Acho, while Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young called Ayesha the only "blemish" in the family on their show. Curry closed the video by saying he had tried to laugh this one off, but something needed to be said: whenever Ayesha Curry's name shows up in a headline, he suggested people offer congratulations, and perhaps the apology could be as loud as those shows were in leading with the topic. As of reporting on November 11, Arenas and Young had not publicly responded to the video.
