(John Nacion/Getty Images) Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry has taken to Instagram to call out popular podcasters, including an ex-teammate of his, for their comments about his wife Ayesha and her acting career.Curry posted a 90-second video on Instagram on Wednesday, which he titled "PSA" in the caption. In it, he specifically calls out Nick Young, who was on the Warriors' 2017-18 title-winning team with Curry, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, and ex-NFL player Emmanuel Acho.In her budding acting career, Ayesha Curry is in a starring role for the first time in "Second Chance Holiday," a new movie that premiered on the Roku Channel on Nov. 5. Clips from the movie showing Ayesha Curry kissing co-star Matthew Daddario became fodder for the ex-athlete podcasters, who were intensely critical of Ayesha Curry and of the Currys' marriage.That prompted Curry's response on Wednesday."Hey, just wanted to check in right quick. I've been hearing a lot of noise, and usually the noise doesn't bother me, doesn't bother Ayesha. But this one in particular, when you're trying to step on the accomplishments of my wife and, obviously, leading podcast tapings and topics and giving opinions on somebody else's wife. Nick, Gil, Emmanuel and anybody else who feels the need to want to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you don't really know about, something that kinda speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they're allowed and what they're not allowed to do. Even the ignorance behind how acting works."Obviously, I tried to laugh this one off, but something needs to be said. Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I kindly suggest you just give it the happy hands, the congratulations. And maybe, just maybe, the apology can be as loud as y'all leading y'all's shows with this topic. Appreciate the free pub. Thank you for giving a nice shoutout to ‘Second Chance Holiday,' which y'all can find on Roku, starring Ayesha Curry."

He finished the caption by quipping, "You don't have to like & subscribe to all podcasts," before sending one more note to his wife: "Keep shining," with a raised hands emoji.He wasn't the only member of the Curry family to chime in with a defense of Ayesha, either. Steph Curry's sister Sydel Lee added a comment, giving particular emphasis to her brother's criticism of how the podcast comments shape the podcasters' view of women. "HEAVY on how it speaks about how the world views women," Lee wrote. "Play with someone else. Enough is enough!"Curry and the Warriors kick off a five-game road trip in Houston on Wednesday night, facing former teammate Kevin Durant and the Rockets at 6:30 p.m. Pacific in a game televised on ESPN.More Warriors- Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg is already sounding like a media star- Ex-Valkyries announcer reportedly fired over affair with ex-Dubs player's sister - Steve Kerr will return after weeks of uncertaintyFull Warriors coverageFor all of our Bay Area sports coverage, sign up for The Catch newsletter here.This article originally published at Steph Curry calls out podcasters being weird about his wife Ayesha.
