‘Get Them Together’: Ayesha Curry Claps Back at Troll Who Criticized Her Body, and Fans Praise Her For It

Ayesha Curry issued what many are calling a nice clapback after someone insulted her on Instagram.

The author, cook and TV personality shared a photo of herself with her husband Steph Curry on Instagram on Tuesday, Feb. 18. The shot shows the couple spending time in Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas. It appears that Steph is the one holding the camera and taking the photo, while Ayesha has her arm around him.

There’s three more shots in that post too. One shows Ayesha doing a little sunbathing, while the other one is another close-up pic of the married couple looking blissful.

“🌊🌞💙🍾 all the things,” Ayesha captioned the post.

“Steph Married to an actual real life farm animal,” someone then wrote in the comments.

“Yes a GOAT I know,” Ayesha wrote back.

Plus, the NBA star’s wife responded to someone who basically called her a hypocrite.

“Weren’t you bashing other women for posting bikini pics? lol,” one person wrote.

“I was talking about someone walking around casually shopping in nipple pasties,” Ayesha wrote in response. “I still find it freaking hilarious. But no one will everrrr know. All good. You’ve got to broaden the thought process on 140 character tweets. It’s not always that serious but I love all of y’all for gassing it to try and find a weak spot.”

There were a lot of people who defended Ayesha afterward and told people to leave her and Steph alone.

“She’s wearing this bikini for her husband. They bullying the wrong person,” wrote someone on Instagram.

“Period Ayesha!!!!!! They will always find something to be mad about. 😍😍😍,” another person stated.

“Why they can’t leave her tf alone,” a third comment read.

Others, meanwhile, said they love Ayesha’s clapback skills.

“I love how she gets them together,” one person stated.

“Ayesha with the fade away 3 pointer 💅🏽,” wrote someone else.

All of this comes shortly after the Currys caused a fuss with another Instagram photo they were seen in. Steph is holding his wife up in the pic and holding her backside. Ayesha has her arms around his shoulders and licks his forehead.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
