Ayesha Curry, the wife of basketball star Stephen Curry from the Golden State Warriors, has found herself in a controversial situation due to an inappropriate and insensitive joke about infidelity.

While appearing on "Girl Chat," Ayesha made a jest about cheating when a shirtless waiter approached them to serve drinks. She playfully commented on removing her wedding ring and even attempted to hide it from view.

Although Ayesha intended it as a lighthearted moment, her actions didn't sit well with numerous viewers and Stephen Curry fans who witnessed the incident unfold on television. Many believed that the timing was inappropriate and felt that she was making light of a serious issue that has caused pain and broken families.

One disappointed Twitter user, @adarathexplorer, expressed their dismay, saying, "Ugh. I liked Ayesha. Even at one point she was a role model. This is disappointing.

Marriage vows and fidelity aren't a joke. Fake taking your ring off or pushing it back on further (can't tell) is so wild to me. I think she's a beautiful woman, but she took it too far with this."

Another Twitter account posed a comparison between Ayesha Curry and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, asking followers to determine who was worse. Commenter @NoMoreMatrix defended Mahomes' loyalty and devotion to her family, implying that Ayesha's actions raised questions about her commitment.

A third critic, @NbaWhiteBoye, took a more sarcastic approach, highlighting that even with Stephen Curry's achievements and worldwide popularity, Ayesha still seemed unsatisfied. The comment indirectly addressed the perception that Ayesha may have unrealistic expectations despite her husband's success.

In conclusion, Ayesha Curry's ill-received joke about cheating has drawn criticism from Stephen Curry fans and social media users who deemed it inappropriate and insensitive. Despite her intentions to entertain, the incident sparked a debate surrounding loyalty, commitment, and the boundaries of humor.
