Steph Curry’s defense of wife sends Gilbert Arenas, Nick Young scrambling to apologize
On Wednesday, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry called out several prominent podcasters, including former NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young, for recent comments they made regarding Curry’s wife Ayesha’s role in the Roku original film “Second Chance Holiday”.
“Nick [Young], Gil [Arenas], Emmanuel [Acho], and anybody else who feels the need to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t know about, something that kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world, and what they’re allowed and not allowed to do,” is among what Curry said in his Instagram post.
Young and Arenas happened to be filming a live episode of the “Gil’s Arena” podcast soon after Curry’s video and offered up an apology.
“This is exactly why I made the comment: Because he’s a professional, professional… He doesn’t get in trouble for nothing. He says the right things… If you gotta judge this family, the only blemish is the things that his wife has said,” Arenas said.
“So that’s why I was saying, if there is a blemish — if there is… It’s only the little things that she said,” he added.
“Steph, I’m sorry, man. You my dog, I love you,” Nick Young added. “If I said anything, I apologize like a man!”
“I’m sorry if he’s offended. I didn’t mean it like that. I was just saying, he’s such a perfect dude. But I’m sorry if he’s offended,” Arenas added.
Young and Arenas will surely be more careful the next time they decide to speak on Steph Curry’s wife.
