NBA superstar Steph Curry's wife, Ayesha, was left in tears after an encounter with French police following Team USA's gold medal win over France at the Paris Olympics.
Footage posted by the Hollywood Fix showed Ayesha wiping away tears while her mother-in-law, Sonya, had a heated exchange with Paris police. What sparked the tense confrontation is unclear, but Golden State Warriors star Curry 's mom could be heard yelling that someone touched baby Caius Chai.
Baby Caius Chai is Steph and Ayesha Curry's fourth child and could be seen strapped close to his mother. Curry's Warriors teammate Draymond Green was also on the scene and leveled the same accusation as Sonya, claiming someone hit the baby boy's head.
"Look, they won't let us go back over there where we came from," Sonya said in the clip. "They won't let the driver come here and they won't let us go back over there."

The police did issue an apology on the scene regarding baby Caius Chai after a man stepped in to translate. "Sorry about the baby," the Currys were told. The issue appeared to be that they were being stopped from getting back to their mode of transport.
"So, even after him hitting the baby in the head, there's still nothing y'all can do to get them out of here?" Green could be heard saying. "What? Stop saying my name. You should be helping us with the baby!" Sonya added. "Let us get to our car."
Alongside Ayesha was her other son, Canon, who was standing next to his dad's teammate, Green. Canon had an American flag wrapped around him and the ordeal played out.
Ayesha Curry and Co's struggles to get out was a mood-dampener on what was a historic night. Team USA secured the gold with a 98-87 over France and NBA phenom Victor Wembanyama. Curry finished with a team-high 24 points, including four three-pointers in the final 2:47. It was Curry's first Olympics at 36 years old.
“Big shots after big shots, the level of difficulty of those shots, and the moment, it was tremendous,” said Joel Embiid about playing with Curry. “Being his teammate, especially after playing against him and seeing him make all those crazy shots in the last couple of years, it’s fun to be on that side.”
“We have only been together for a short period of time, and we had one common goal and that goal was gold, hold each other accountable every single day to get better, and we did that every single day until the last game,” said LeBron James. “It means everything. At this latter stage of my career, I don’t know many games I’m going to play, how many more big moments, so to have my family here means everything to me.”
