Steph Curry took to Instagram to defend his wife, Ayesha, and he kept it calm and pointed.

Here’s what happened, per TheGrio and CBS Sports. Former players including Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young talked on a podcast about Ayesha’s on-screen kiss in her new holiday film, Second Chance Holiday. Arenas called her a “blemish” on the Curry family.

Steph said the comments speak to a bigger conversation about how some men view women and what they’re allowed to do. His advice for next time: if Ayesha shows up in your headline, give her your congratulations.

Nick Young apologized quickly. And Steph’s line stuck with me: “the apology can be as loud” as the shows that led with the topic.

Also, acting is acting.
