Ayesha Curry continues to stand by her confession after haters come after her for comments on Red Table Talk appearance, led by host Jada Pinkett Smith. During the May 6 episode, Curry and many other women in her family spoke on a variety of topics that included a few such as anxiety, racism, and the frequent attention that their basketball husbands receives. (Ayesha is married to Stephen Curry who plays for the Golden State Warriors).
The topic of how frequent her husband receives attention quickly had Twitter users weighing in on the discussion, specifically on her confession of feeling self-conscious when she isn’t being given the same attention by other guys.
“Something that really bothers me, and honestly has given me a sense of a little bit of an insecurity, is the fact that there are all these women throwing themselves… but me, for the past 10 years I don’t have any of that,” she said. “I have zero—this sounds weird—but male attention. Then I begin to internalize it, like, is something wrong with me?”
The backlash came following the interview with people, mostly men, expressing that her comments were absurd. The response came mostly through memes on Twitter.
