Stephen Curry has hit back at former NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young after they publicly criticised his wife, Ayesha Curry, over a kissing scene in her latest film.The Golden State Warriors superstar addressed the controversy on social media Wednesday, taking issue with comments made about Ayeshas role in Second Chance Holiday.The criticism began on the We Said What We Said podcast, where Arenas questioned Ayeshas behaviour compared to the wives of other NBA stars.The only blemish in the family is the wife in the sense because she doesnt act like the other superstars wives. [Michael] Jordans wife, Cookie [Johnson], thats Magics [Johnsons] wife, Savannah [James], right, where we dont want to hear you, Arenas said. She hasnt been the American wife that the public knows.Curry responded with a lengthy statement, making it clear he wasnt prepared to let the comments slide.Ive been hearing a lot of noise and usually the noise doesnt bother me, doesnt bother Ayesha but, this one in particular when you try to step on the accomplishments of my wife and you know, obviously, leading podcast tapings and topics, giving opinions on somebody elses wife, Curry said. Nick, Gil, Emmanuel [Acho] and anybody else who feels the need to want to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you really dont know about.Something that kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what theyre allowed and what theyre not allowed to do, even the ignorance behind how acting works, obviously I tried to laugh this off but something needs to be said.The four-time NBA champion finished with another message for those discussing his wife.Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, Id kindly suggest you just give the happy hands, the congratulations and maybe the apology as loud as you lead your shows with this topic, Curry said. Appreciate the free pub.Both former players subsequently apologised on Gils Arena.Im sorry Steph. You my dog, I love you. If I say anything, I apologize like a man, Young said.Arenas added, Im sorry if hes offended. I didnt mean it like that. I was just saying hes such a perfect dude.READ MORE: Jimmy Butler Takes on Coaching Role in Hilarious Warriors Sideline Moment
