Los Angeles, California - NBA star Stephen Curry clapped back at Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, and others who criticized his wife Ayesha's Second Chance Holiday role.

The Golden State Warriors said in an Instagram video that while he normally ignores "the noise," he decided to speak out against the podcasters "trying to step on the accomplishments" of his wife.

The 38-year-old went on to name-drop Nick, Gil, and Emmanuel Acho and accused them of having an opinion of "something you don't really know about."

He continued, "That kinda speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they're allowed and what they're not allowed to do."

Stephen added, "Even the ignorance behind how acting works. Obviously I tried to laugh this one off, but, you know, something needs to be said."

The NBA player ended, "Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I kindly suggest you just give the, you know, the happy hands, the congratulations."

Stephen's post comes after the retired athletes called Ayesha a "blemish" on their family while discussing a kissing scene in her latest movie.

Gilbert and Nick clarified the critical remarks on their podcast's Thursday episode and offered an apology, with the former adding, "I'm sorry if he's offended. I didn't mean it like that. I was just saying that he's such a perfect dude, but I am sorry."
