Ayesha Curry posted an Instagram photo of herself in a bikini,and it has the internet divided because of some of her past comments.
The TV personality and wife of NBA star Stephen Curryshared two photos of herself posing in a gray bikini over the weekend after losing weight, garnering both applause from her friends and fans as well as criticism from those who thought the post was a stark turn from her earlier views.
"Took me long enough," Curry, 31, captioned the post. Some Twitter users criticized her for it, claiming she contradictedherown tweet posted in 2015: "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."
"Just like that, Ayesha Curry just did the same thing she bashed other women for," tweeted @illcity92.
"Not saying its not allowed, but Im never a fan of bashing others then being a hypocrite," added @hellasmolx.
Curry responded to critics in a series of Instagram Story videos, telling her followers she is "down 35 pounds" and "very happy to be."
"Ispent my entire 20s having babies, nursing babies," she added."Now it's my turn to nurse myself. I'mJamaican, I'mstrong, I'mfast and I'mresilient. ... Negativity only makes a mom go harder, word to the wise."
Last May, Curry opened up on"Red Table Talk" aboutstruggling with self-doubt stemming from a lack of male attention.
"Something that really bothers me, and honestly has given me a sense of a little bit of an insecurity, is the fact that, yeah, there are all these women, like, throwing themselves (at husband Stephen), but me, like the past 10 years, I don't have any of that," she said."I have zero this sounds weird but, like, male attention, and so then I begin to internalize it, and I'm like, 'Is something wrong with me?' "
Following the episode, she also shared a photo of her tossing out her Spanx in a triumphant post urging followers to"Go FIND YOUR JOY and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH unapologetically."
