Steph Curry Posts 90-Second Defense of Ayesha as Critics Target Her Film Kiss

Summary
A 90-second Instagram video from Steph Curry directly rebuked years of online attacks on Ayesha Curry, saying criticism of her achievements reflects how women are judged and limited.
The latest backlash centered on Ayesha’s role in the Christmas romcom “Second Chance Holiday,” where she kisses a co-star — a scene some commenters treated as a problem despite it being acting.
Gilbert Arenas amplified that criticism on his podcast, calling Ayesha “the only blemish” in the Curry family and arguing star athletes’ wives should stay largely unseen; Nick Young appeared to agree.
Curry framed the issue as a broader double standard around women’s autonomy, reviving scrutiny that has followed Ayesha through her acting, food-media and lifestyle-brand career.
