Ayesha Curry is happily married and has two children with the best player in the NBA, but that hasn't left her immune to criticism.

Curry has been the target of criticism for “slut-shaming.” Back in December, the wife of Stephen Curry tweeted critical remarks about women who are scantily-clad by stating the following:
“Everyone's into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters.”
Apparently, this resulted in some backlash by social media users making fun of Curry for her clean image and her criticism of women who show off their bodies.
Social media users have begun an internet meme that uses images from her show “At Home With Ayesha” and add captions which take shots at supposedly inferior women:
According to Ayesha, enough is enough, as she told Essence Magazine:
“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. I have a feeling whoever is making them is mostly men trying to pin 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.”
Unfortunately, there's a lot of hate that permeates throughout the internet these days. While that won't come to an end any time soon, it's good to see Mrs. Curry stand up for women's respectability.
