Ayesha Curry, the wife of Warriors star and U.S. national team Olympic hero Steph Curry, appeared to break down in tears after the gold medal game on Saturday when she had a tense encounter with French police at an undisclosed location in Paris while trying to return to her car, according to a video posted to YouTube by The Hollywood Fix.
During the nearly three-minute standoff, Sonya Curry – Curry’s mother – and her Golden State teammate Draymond Green also spoke to police officers while Ayesha carried the couple’s youngest son, Caius, and another child, apparently Curry’s eldest daughter Riley, walked with a flag around her shoulders.
“Look, they won’t let us go back where we came from,” Sonya told the officers, pointing to an off-camera location. “They won’t let the driver come here, and they won’t let us go back there.”
A man in the video, who translated the conversation between Sonya and the police officers, said that “the president” was on his way past, “so no one is allowed to cross the street at the moment until he passes.”
French President Emmanuel Macron attended the US-France match and may also have left the stadium.
And at some point, as the back and forth continued, Green accused the police officers of hitting the baby.
“So even after you hit the baby in the head, there’s still nothing you can do to get it out of here?” Green asked.
It is unclear which officer Green accused of hitting the baby and when the alleged contact occurred during the argument.
The video ended after three minutes, and how long the argument lasted – as well as the time that passed before and after the clip began – also remained unclear.
Curry’s family and Green were all in attendance to watch Saturday’s gold medal game, where the U.S. team defeated France 98-87, with Curry scoring 24 points, including four 3-pointers in the final three minutes of the game.

“I’ve seen that a few times from Steph, but it never gets old,” Steve Kerr, head coach of Team USA and the Warriors, told reporters after the game. “It’s a global game with a lot of great players, but we still believe we have the best players. They’ve all been so selfless throughout the whole thing, despite all the noise, all the pressure. We may be the only team in the world whose fans are embarrassed for them when they win a silver medal, and that’s the pressure we face.”
“But our players – and you saw Steph – love the pressure. They appreciate that atmosphere and they were fantastic.”
Ayesha and Curry married in 2011 and have four children, having announced the birth of Caius in late May.
