Ayesha Curry Incited A Twitter War After Cheering ‘Let’s Go, Baby!’ To Steph Last Night

There’s always that initial fear that a celebrity is trending because they’ve suddenly died. And then there are celebrities who constantly trend for making inflammatory comments. Neither rings true for Ayesha Curry, though. Know that Steph’s wife is the only person you can be sure is alive and well and hasn’t said anything horrible whenever she trends on Twitter. She’s also the only person who can incite a Twitter war just by being a supportive wife.

Cameras captured the cookbook author yelling out “Let’s go, baby!” and cheering on Steph after he drained a tie-breaking three halfway into the third quarter of the Warriors/Blazers game Wednesday night. Just that five-second glimpse caused Twitter to erupt with sexists and misogynists using Ayesha to make their “you hoes need to be like Ayesha and less like Cardi B” comparisons.

“Look at Ayesha Curry supporting her man,” tweeted one Prince Charming after the NBA wife’s cheer. “Now that’s a real woman you Twitter hoes should take notes.” Another God’s gift to women called an entire generation of women “sad” because of how popular the mother of two is, tweeting out, “The fact that Ayesha Curry is worshiped for doing what she’s supposed to do just goes to show how sad our generation of women are lol.”

Obviously, the ridiculous tweets didn’t sit right with everyone.

Ayesha Curry isn’t a fan of any of the tweets and memes using her likeness for misogynistic purposes. During an interview with Essence last month, the 27-year-old Mrs. Curry said she wasn’t okay with pitting women against other women.

“I wonder why people are so hateful sometimes. I just don’t get it. I want people to know these memes aren’t coming from me and I didn’t endorse them,” Curry told the publication in April. “I have a feeling whoever is making them is mostly men trying to pit women against each other and that’s something I don’t stand for, especially with us black women. I just wish we could support each other a little bit more. I want everybody to succeed.”
