She said that before marriage, she saw herself as a career-oriented woman and not as a mother or a wife. However, after having children, she often reflects on her career she had envisioned for herself. Curry also added that because she found it difficult to deal with it, she also started going to therapy.

However, the mother of four, who also leads an entrepreneurial life, received a massive backlash for her comments. Some even suggested that she should get a divorce from Steph Curry if she was dissatisfied.

Alluding to her comments about not seeing herself as a married woman with kids, the former Warriors player also defended Ayesha Curry's intentions behind marrying the 4x NBA champion.

"She is saying she didn't herself with kids. She didn't see herself married. She's seen herself as a career woman. She wasn't considering herself as a f****** groupie. She didn't have preconceived [idea that] this is gonna be Steph Curry, and I just wanna marry him to sit under him...her intentions with him was purely about him."

Arenas also took brutal shots at women who wanted to be an "NBA wife." He said that they married NBA players because they 'intentionally wanted to be h*es,' and 'wanted their money.' For Arenas, Ayesha Curry didn't want to be one of them and imagined herself to be "successful" like her husband.
