Steph Curry’s wife and mother wipe away tears after tense confrontation with Paris police
According to a video shared by The Hollywood Fix, the Golden State Warriors player’s wife, Ayesha Curry, and his mother, Sonya Curry, were spotted with fellow Warriors player Draymond Green speaking to police in Paris, France. The clip showed Ayesha crying while her mother-in-law spoke to the officers, who were allegedly preventing the family from getting into their car.
Ayesha was seen carrying the couple’s youngest son, Caius, as another child who appeared to be Curry’s oldest son, Canon, walked with a flag draped around his shoulders. “Look, they won’t let us go back over there where we came from,” Sonya told the officers, while pointing toward a location away from the camera. “They won’t let the driver come here, and they won’t let us go back over there.”
One officer came over to translate for the Parisian officers, and at one point could be heard saying: “Sorry about the baby.” It is not currently clear what had happened before the incident.
Although Steph was not in the video, his teammate Green seemed to intervene when he could be heard saying in the background: “So, even after him hitting the baby in the head, there’s still nothing y’all can do to get them out of here?”
Ayesha and her family were reportedly not allowed to get to their vehicle because “the president” was coming by and “nobody’s allowed to cross the street right now until he’s passed,” someone said in the clip.
The Independent has reached out to representatives for both Steph and Ayesha for comment.
Steph’s family was in attendance at the Paris 2024 Olympics to watch him play with Team USA men’s basketball. During their gold medal-winning game against France on August 10, Team USA beat the host country by 11 points with a final score of 98 to 87. Twenty-four of those points were scored by Steph during the game, including four three-pointers inside the final three minutes of the game.
“I’ve seen that from Steph a few times, but it never gets old,” Team USA and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game. “It’s a global game with a lot of great players, but we still feel we have the greatest players. They were all so unselfish throughout this whole thing, through all the noise, all the pressure. We might be the only team in the world whose fans are ashamed of them if they get a silver medal, and that’s the pressure we face.
