Ayesha Curry, the wife of Warriors star and Team USA Olympics hero Steph Curry, appeared to tear up following a tense encounter with French police at an undisclosed location in Paris while attempting to return to their car Saturday after the gold medal game, according to a video posted to YouTube by The Hollywood Fix.
During the nearly three-minute encounter, Sonya Curry — Curry’s mother — and Golden State teammate Draymond Green were also speaking with police officers while Ayesha carried the couple’s youngest son, Caius, as another child who appeared to be Curry’s oldest son Canon, walked with a flag draped around his shoulders.
“Look, they won’t let us go back over there where we came from,” Sonya told the officers, while pointing toward a location away from the camera. “They won’t let the driver come here, and they won’t let us go back over there.”
One man in the video, who was translating the conversation between Sonya and the police officers, said “the president” was coming by, “so nobody’s allowed to cross the street right now until he’s passed.”
French President Emmanuel Macron attended the game between the United States and France and could also have been exiting the arena.
And at one point, as the back-and-forth continued, Green accused the officers of allegedly hitting the baby.
“So even after you hit the baby in the head, there’s still nothing y’all can do to get them out of here?” Green asked.
It’s unclear which officer Green accused of hitting the baby or when the alleged contact occurred during the dispute.
The video stopped after three minutes, and how long the dispute lasted — as well as the time that’d elapsed before and after the clip began — also remains unclear.
Curry’s family and Green were all in attendance to watch the gold medal game Saturday, when Team USA defeated France, 98-87, behind Curry’s 24 points — which included four 3-pointers inside the final three minutes of the game.
“I’ve seen that from Steph a few times, but it never gets old,” Team USA and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters postgame. “It’s a global game with a lot of great players, but we still feel we have the greatest players. They were all so unselfish throughout this whole thing, through all the noise, all the pressure. We might be the only team in the world whose fans are ashamed of them if they get a silver medal, and that’s the pressure we face.
“But our players — and you saw Steph — they love the pressure. They appreciate this atmosphere, and they were fantastic.
