Role at the time: Sports journalist and contributing writer for The Atlantic, in a post on X

Condemned

Response to this claim

Ayesha Curry is the only blemish on the Curry family because she does not act like the wives of other NBA superstars, whom the public wants to see but not to hear from.

“What Gilbert Arenas said about Ayesha was wholly disrespectful. It also was disrespectful to use Cookie Johnson as an example of shut up and play your role. Complete ignorance.”
