Published
4 years agoon
Ayesha Curry has been caught in yet another social media frenzy following the airing of a Red Table Talk episode that features the women of her family. When asked by Jada how they feel about the women who approach their famous husbands, Ayesha’s response has people labelling her a “pick me” once more.
Today we’re kicking off an ALL NEW season of #RedTableTalk with @AyeshaCurry, Sonya Curry, @SydelCurryLee, and @CallieRivers25 who open up about what it's like in their NBA family.

Ayesha Curry along with her mother-in-law, his little sister, and future sister-in-law sat down with Jada, Willow, and Jada’s mother, Adrienne. Travelling to North Carolina to film inside their home, Jada talked with the Curry’s about anxiety, juggling the responsibilities of family and professional life, and navigating marriages to NBA stars.
Things got spicy when a clip of Ayesha sharing an insecurity made the rounds. Stating she is uncomfortable with the attention her husband gets from women, Ayesha also shared she occasionally feels she is not enough because she is not sought after. While she’s not alone in that regard, her response has started a debate on who is to blame — Ayesha’s insecurities, men with wandering eyes, or the women who chase them.
Pick Me Antics?
In the past Ayesha has had little defense for her opinions, particularly when it comes to what does not challenge the patriarchy. However, her admission of feelings of inadequacy show the influence such a system has. Even when you’re married to someone who, as far as we know, is faithful, the need to feel desirable does not dissipate once you acquire The Ring™. As expressed by several Twitter users, these insecurities are incredibly common.
I know that as a woman, I need verbal reassurance from time to time. I could have a husband of 20 years, but that does not negate the fact that I would still like to hear that I’m beautiful.

Ayesha is spot on. We like to know that we still got it.
Still, her role as a paragon of marriage and decency means her comments were received in poor taste. For several years, Ayesha has not shied away from being vocal about respectability ideals.
Everyone's into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters ???

In 2015, Ayesha’s tweet about dressing modestly as a form of respecting her partner went viral. Now her Red Table Talk comments have sparked another round of discussions about the need to conform to the patriarchy’s submissive standards to be “chosen” as a wife.

Social media star Rolling Ray underwent surgery Tuesday morning to treat serious burns on his body after his terrible wig accident last week.
In a series of IG stories, he let his audience follow along as he prepped for surgery.
Last week Rolling Ray announced he was hospitalized after his wig caught on fire! During a January 13 Instagram Live session hosted straight from his hospital bedside, he showed his severely burnt and damaged face telling viewers his “whole skin, legs, arms, feet, and everything” were burned.
Prayers for Rolling Ray 🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/d6PwlLbrlI

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. “It just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,” he recounted. “So I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. It’s a fire everywhere, it’s a fire in the whole room.”

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like “Rolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolled” and “karma’s a b***h” had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to “dig (sic) up” her dead baby father. However, the criticism didn’t stop him from responding on Twitter.
I miss y’all 🥺! See y’all soon, if this what Karma feels like she should’ve came harder because I’m alive while others still dead. God loves me 😍! Imma bounce back

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

The news comes after the couple revealed they had struggled to conceive since their 2015 marriage.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Getting Divorced, Report Says
Published

In a story published Tuesday evening, Page Six is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, with the two already in settlement talks. The news comes after the couple spent the holiday season separately – Kanye at his ranch outside Cody, Wyoming, Kim and the kids with her famous family in southern California.
A source close to Kardashian was quoted saying, “Kim got Kanye to go up there so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.” Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, are said to be splitting because of marital problems directly related to Kanye’s very public mental health struggles.

For several years the rapper’s various antics have caused fans to worry. After coming out as a Trump supporter, West then announced his own 2020 presidential bid under a new political party: the Birthday Party. At a campaign rally in South Carolina, he was seen rambling, debating individual audience members, and at times, crying. In various interviews, he has rambled on almost incoherently, and his tweetstorms are now infamous.
For her part, Kim has always supported her husband and has openly discussed the difficulties of their marriage. Back in June, she shared on social media, “Anyone who has [bipolar disorder] or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand… People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual (has) to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

It appears she has finally reached her limit in the union with the unnamed source saying, “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
Separately, a source close to Kanye alleges the rapper is sick of his wife and her family, which might have some truth to it since he has tweeted some pretty nasty things about them in the past. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he said in a now-deleted July tweet. Recently, he hasn’t been featured on his wife’s Instagram and has largely remained out of the public eye.

With the news yet to be confirmed, the “divorce is imminent” reports are just rumors for now. We’ll be following the news as more information comes out.
