Recently, Ayesha Curry and Draymond Green found themselves in a difficult situation while visiting Paris. As Ayesha's husband, Stephen, led Team USA to Olympic Gold in Men's basketball, the couple and their families were in the city to support him.
Green, who has been a longtime teammate of Stephen, was with Ayesha and her mother-in-law, Sonya, at an undisclosed location in Paris. A video posted by the Hollywood Fix showed the group trying to leave, but they were stopped by police officers. In the footage, Ayesha can be seen becoming emotional as the officers refused to let her and her young children return to their car.
Sonya and Green tried to reason with the officers, but the police remained firm. Ayesha was surrounded by the officers as she carried her 3-month-old baby, Caius, and her 6-year-old son, Canon, stood by her side wearing an American flag. The family had just attended the Olympic Men's Basketball Final on August 10, where Team USA defeated France for the gold medal.
Sonya, who is the matriarch of the Curry family, could be heard saying, "C'mon, Ayesha," to her daughter-in-law. She also urged the officers to stop calling Ayesha "madam" and instead help them. However, despite explaining where their vehicle was, the officers continued to prevent them from leaving. It was later revealed that the restrictions were in place due to the French President also leaving the event.
As the confrontation continued, Sonya wiped away tears and tried to speak with another member of their group. A translator explained that the officers were apologizing for the delay and for the baby being hit. However, Green continued to push the officers, asking why they wouldn't let them through.
The video abruptly ended and did not show the alleged assault on the child. This incident sparked outrage among social media users, who called out the anti-Blackness and policing issues in France. Journalist AJR tweeted about the incident, saying, "Ayesha Curry was seen tearing up and being harassed in Paris by the police after the Olympics along with Steph Curry's mother, Sonya. Paris is full of racism!"
Another user, Jessica, also spoke out about the racism in France, referencing an incident with Kelly Rowland at the Cannes Film Festival. Despite the media attention, the Currys have yet to release a statement about the incident.
