Ayesha Curry, who is married to basketball player Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, opened up a can of worms on the Facebook Watch series hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris when she talked about her lack of male attention.
“Something that really bothers me, and honestly has given me a sense of a little bit of an insecurity, is the fact that yeah, there are all these women, like, throwing themselves (at him), but me, like the past 10 years, I don’t have any of that,” she said. “I have zero – this sounds weird – but, like, male attention, and so then I begin to internalize it, and I’m like, ‘Is something wrong with me?’ ”
“I don’t want it,” Curry added, “but it’d be nice to know that, like, someone’s lookin’.”
Anybody who is anybody has spoken about the subject, with men on one side and women on defending Ayesha for her comments.
Even Cardi B is weighing in.
The highly popular hip-hop artist took to her Instagram Live on Thursday and brought up an interesting topic on the subject. Cardi asked the question if men respect a married woman more than women respect a married man, which is why other outside men aren’t giving her the time of day.

On Wednesday night, Ayesha finally responded to all of the hoopla surrounding her comments:
“I have never been one to cage my feelings and emotions to any capacity,” she captioned a photo of herself tossing a pair of Spanx into a “Marie Kondo-Esque” bin. “I am human. It brings me pure joy to speak my mind, be vulnerable at times and to know myself inside and out.”
“If what I’m not afraid to say out loud about being a 30yr mama of 3 helps another woman like me feel like they’re not the alone and not the only one with an insecurity (because we ALL have them, don’t play) then that makes all of this hoopla worth it,” she continued. “If you get a chance to watch the actual (‘Red Table Talk’) and not the headlines and rumors please do!
“There is so much more depth to the talk and our family is grateful to @jadapinkettsmith for giving us the opportunity to bond together,” she added. “As women let’s continue to uplift, empower and not suppress and compress our feelings and thoughts, as fleeting as some of them may be.
“Love to you all!” she said in conclusion. “Go FIND YOUR JOY and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH unapologetically.”
