Ayesha Curry’s hot bikini photos landed her in hot water this weekend.
The celebrity cook thought she was just sharing an innocent photo of herself wearing a bikini, but little did she know fans would make her eat her own words.
On Sunday (May 24), the star took to Instagram with pictures showing her in a stylish green two-piece swimsuit, flexing her insanely fit physique for all of her 7 million followers to see. “Took me long enough,” she captioned the photos, crediting husband Steph Curry as the shutterbug behind the snapshots.
However, fans couldn’t help but recall Ayesha’s tweets from 2015 denouncing bikini photos. “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,” she preached at the time, only causing followers to point out her hypocrisy after posting the images.

“Ain't that funny So Ayesha Curry's slutshaming and modesty was only there because she was chunky/chubby?What happened to "keep things for only your husband to see" 😂,” one Twitter user commented.
Another added: “Ayesha Curry shamed girls for showing their bodies only for her to do the same thing Skull. Heauxs do stuff like this all the time. Talking s—t, jealous because they can’t pull it off. That’s why I’m such an advocate for women doing wtf they want & being confident in who they are.”
The backlash appeared to be no match for the mommy of three, who responded to the criticism via an Instagram video. In the clip, Ayesha tells fans she's "down 35 pounds" and "very happy to be." "I spent my entire 20s having babies, nursing babies," she added. "Now it's my turn to nurse myself. I'm Jamaican, I'm strong, I'm fast and I'm resilient. ... Negativity only makes a mom go harder, word to the wise."
