The Golden State Warriors’ hangover is real. Champions a year ago and near repeaters in 2016, LeBron James gut-punched them out of a title and the public’s love for them has been prickly, at best, since.
Ayesha Curry knows this as well as anyone.
The wife to the two-time MVP Steph, mother of Riley, and soon-to-be Food Network star has taken up her husband’s mantle vigorously in recent days, standing up for him on social media till death do her part. Sometimes her tact on this front drifts into the questionable, like when she suggested that the league was rigged as the Warriors watched Game 6 of the NBA Finals slip away from them.
A war-zone of gross gender politics and sick meme burns, Ayesha’s mentions have been ablaze as a summer heat wave in recent days, and her Twitter offenders do not always play very nice. One of the more popular methods of Ayesha harassment, lately, has been this photo of Kyrie Irving shopped over Steph in a family portrait:

In response to this viciousness, Curry tweeted the following:
It's the inappropriate photoshopped pictures that are insulting to both me and the others families, husbands, fathers, wives in them. 1/2

I could care less about "L's" keep sending them. At this point you guys are insulting both sides with the inappropriate photos.

Curry’s polarizing fame has become an entity almost totally separate from her husband’s game. Something about her has ignited heated feelings in the public imagination, and this probably isn’t the last that we’ll be hearing from her.
