Ayesha Curry finds herself the middle of controversy yet again, while being open and honest about her feelings. Who knew one statement would cause a media shit storm? It seems Ayesha can say “Booâ€, and someone will have something to say about it. What is it about Ayesha that gets everyone up in arms when she is being authentic? People are saying she has embarrassed her husband, that she doesn’t feel loved by her husband, and/or that he is not satisfying her. Where did y’all hear that?
Let me take you back for those who didn’t watch the “Red Table Talk” interview in full but only saw a clip. The comment was in the midst of the conversation about women being drawn to men of power. She took the moment in a safe environment with loving women to tell her truth. She did not say her husband didn’t give her attention.
As a woman, if we walk in a room, we want all eyes on us. Even if you are not trying to hit on us. We like to be noticed and desired. It is my opinion that this is what Ayesha meant. Ayesha is married to one of the top men in the NBA and has found her own brand of success with her cookbook, her dishware line, being a spokesperson and influencer for different products. Yet, there are times a woman that is controlling the narrative about herself wants to lay all that to the side and be the woman that other men may want and women want to be like. I am sure she
feels she is the woman that other women want to be like, but she wonders do men really look at her as sexy.
This is something that all women have felt at some time in their life. I applaud Mrs. Curry for being transparent in the moment and being honest. I love how the women came in and were telling her that she doesn’t notice it, because she is so focused on her family and her husband.
That is something that happens all the time. We miss the attention that we may be getting because we are focused on whatever we are focused on. I feel in that moment, good girlfriends did what good girlfriends do. They made sure she felt better about herself. Hey, but all of her critics missed that, right?
Some other things you may have missed, because you were focused on Ayesha’s one statement are: The fact that she likes to be introduced first in a crowd by her husband. She talked to him about that, and now he does it. She doesn’t go on the road with her husband, and actually none of the ladies do. They also talked about anxiety and how it feels to be mixed in America.
In the end I will say, insecurities are real. Your husband can give you all the attention in the world, but due to Steph’s job, she sees the women coming on to her husband. She sees what they look like, and she may feel they are prettier. It is in these moments that any woman is indirectly affected and there is nothing that their mate has done to cause this. It is just human nature. I feel there are women that may have been feeling the same way and needed a woman
like Ayesha to say her truths. It is good for women to talk open and honestly about how we really feel. I am sure she knew it was coming but she has a good family around her to help her through it.
