Summary
Gilbert Arenas said on his “Gil’s Arena” podcast that his remarks about Ayesha Curry were meant to describe Stephen Curry as “such a perfect dude,” calling her comments the family’s only “blemish” while apologizing only if Curry was offended.
Stephen Curry’s Instagram response triggered the clarification after he said criticism of his wife’s work crossed a line, arguing commentators were “trying to step on the accomplishments” of Ayesha Curry.
One scene in Ayesha Curry’s Roku film “Second Chance Holiday” — a kiss with co-star Matthew Daddario — fueled the backlash and drew commentary from sports-media figures including Arenas and Emmanuel Acho.
Nick Young offered Steph Curry a direct apology on the podcast, and Acho separately apologized for comments that he said may have offended both Curry and his wife.
The dispute unfolded as Curry also deals with an oblique abdominal tear; ESPN reported the Warriors expect him to miss closer to 1 month after leaving Wednesday’s loss to Houston early.
