Ayesha Curry and Adrienne “Gammy” Banfield-Norris on Red Table Talk
*Ayesha Curry is not happy with the way she looked on Red Table Talk.
The 34-year-old wife of NBA star Stephen Curry appeared on the Facebook Watch series in 2019, joining hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne “Gammy” Banfield-Norris alongside her own family members for a discussion on mental health. Now, speaking with Insider for its digital cover story, Curry says the episode “was edited in a way that made me sound crazy.”
As a newly postpartum, breastfeeding mother at that time, Curry said on Red Table Talks that she had some anxiety surrounding the attention her husband receives from female fans. She told the hosts at the time: “Stephen is very nice by nature and he’s very talkative. Everything is always very friendly and sometimes to the point where I’m like, I’m a grown woman so I’ll just insert myself. I’ll be like, ‘Hello. How are you doing?’”
She added, “The ladies will always be lurking, hoping for their moment and waiting. But for me, I honestly hate it.”
However, Ayesha told Insider of that portion of the interview: “It’s not what I said, and the context was weird. Yeah. I took that one personally.”
As previously reported, Red Table Talk was canceled last month as Facebook Watch ended its original programming. The series completed its original season order and the show’s production company, Westbrook Studios, has been looking for a new home.
Meanwhile, Curry also opens up to Insider about pulling her children — Riley, 10; Ryan, 7; and Canon, 4 — away from the public eye after Riley, specifically, had become an adorable presence at her dad’s games and public events.
“When the social media thing started, nobody knew what that was going to become,” she admits. “If we had known back in the day just how chaotic it would make life, I don’t think we would’ve done it. But we were just genuinely living our lives back then. And we thought, ‘This is our kid. We’re bringing our kid along.’”
Curry also spoke to Insider about her own post-pandemic decision to retreat from the spotlight, begin therapy. She now focuses her energy on charity work, and entrepreneurship with her lifestyle company, Sweet July, which serves as a platform to uplift fellow Black- and women-owned small businesses.
