Ayesha Curry is the wife of the best basketball player on the planet these days.
She’s also the mother to the most adorable toddler in the history of mankind.
But Curry made headlines on her own over the weekend by writing just a few words on Twitter.
“Everyone’s into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style,” Mrs. Stephen Curry wrote. “I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters.”
It’s unclear what prompted this Tweet (perhaps a look at Kylie Jenner on Instagram?), but Curry added:
“Just looking at the latest fashion trends. I’ll take classy over trendy any day of the week. #saturdaynightinsight.”
Doesn’t seem all that noteworthy, does it?
Curry is simply commenting on the bevy of females of show lots and lots of skin in public.
But the message received quite the rebuke in the social media world, with critics lashing out at Curry for “slut-shaming.”
Wrote one hater:
“Point of the matter is : Ayesha curry sounds like a patriarchal princess and her tweets were undercover slut shaming.”
But Curry did find herself defended by a couple celebrities; first by Chrissy Teigen, who replied to Curry’s Tweets with:
“ayeshacurry you got people writing articles on a Sunday” and who then jokingly asked Curry what she’s “gonna wear” when she goes to cook eggs.
Then there was Khloe Kardashian, who showed love to Curry by Tweeting in reply:
“I just love @ayeshacurry!!! Always staying true to you. My kind of lady. Blessings on blessings!!!”
Ayesha finally attempted to end the debate, not by apologizing, but by sending another message:
“Regardless of if you like my ‘style of clothes’ or not (which I don’t care) please do not tear women down and degrade them… Not cool peeps.”
