Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry has criticized several podcasters after they questioned his wife Ayesha’s decision to kiss another actor in a film.

Ayesha, who has been married to the four-time NBA champion since 2011, appears in the new holiday romantic comedy Second Chance Holiday.

The movie features a kiss between Ayesha and her co-star Matthew Daddario, a scene that became the subject of controversial remarks from a group of podcasters.

Among those discussing it were former NFL players Emmanuel Acho and LeSean McCoy, along with former NBA stars Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young, who previously played alongside Curry with the Warriors.

McCoy accused Ayesha of trying to attract attention and suggested she was taking her marriage to “one of the greatest players of all time” for granted. Acho said he would not be comfortable with his own wife kissing another man for a movie or television role.

Arenas went further during a podcast appearance with Young, calling Ayesha a “blemish” on the Curry family because she does not behave like the wives of other superstars. He also implied that her marriage to Steph could be facing difficulties.

Ayesha later dismissed the critics as “annoying.” On Wednesday, Curry responded in a passionate social media video, accusing the commentators of making misogynistic remarks and speaking about a relationship they do not understand.

“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 podcasts tapings and topics and giving opinions on somebody else’s wife, Nick, Gil, Emmanuel, and anybody else who feels the need to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t really know about, something that kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed to do 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.

“Any time Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I kindly suggest you just give the happy hands, the congratulations. And maybe, just maybe, the apology can be as loud as y’all leading y’all shows with this topic.

“So, 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.”

Steph and Ayesha first met as teenagers through a youth group in Charlotte. They reconnected in 2008, when Steph was playing college basketball at Davidson and traveled to Los Angeles for the ESPY Awards while Ayesha was building a career in modeling and acting.

Following their first date on Hollywood Boulevard, the couple married in 2011. They welcomed their first daughter in 2012, followed by another daughter in 2015 and sons in 2018 and 2024.

Ayesha has also established herself as a prominent public figure, making appearances on the Call Her Daddy podcast and joining her husband on Michelle Obama’s podcast.

She has developed a successful career in food and lifestyle media, sharing cooking content online while launching a lifestyle brand, skincare products and several other business ventures.

Ayesha returned to acting in 2024, appearing alongside her close friend Lindsay Lohan. The family also remains heavily involved with its foundation, which focuses on improving the well-being of children.

Meanwhile, Curry is expected to miss at least two weeks after suffering a torn oblique muscle, disrupting another impressive campaign for the NBA’s all-time leader in three-pointers.

The Warriors said Thursday that Curry would be examined again in two weeks after an MRI confirmed the abdominal injury. Such tears can require more time to heal, and head coach Steve Kerr described the team’s level of concern as “high.”

Before the injury, Curry had scored at least 30 points in four of five games. His 41-point display against Orlando on Saturday moved him level with Oscar Robertson in eighth place for career 40-point games, with 77. Curry’s 16 40-point performances since turning 35 are the most in NBA history.

The children of Santa Barbara farmers John “Jay” and Kristen Ruskey are suing the owners of a Cambria home and the manufacturer of a water heater, alleging that carbon monoxide poisoning caused their parents’ deaths earlier this year.

The couple, who ran coffee and exotic-fruit farms, were discovered dead at a friends’ home on Feb. 8, according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office.

The lawsuit was filed by the Ruskeys’ children: Kasurina, who was 19 at the time, and 16-year-old twins Aiden and Sean. The defendants named in the case are homeowners Ben and Robin Korman and water-heater maker Navien Inc.

The complaint describes a disturbing chain of events in the hours before the couple died. Jay reportedly became violently ill, vomiting uncontrollably and losing control of his bowels, prompting the couple to call 911, according to the lawsuit.

According to the filing, the Ruskeys left their children at home on Feb. 7 while they attended a birthday celebration at the Kormans’ property in Cambria. The gathering drew approximately 50 to 60 people, and Jay and Kristen later stayed overnight in a guest bedroom.

The couple went to bed at about 2 a.m. on Feb. 8. The lawsuit alleges that the home’s water heater repeatedly switched on during the night to meet the demand created by the large number of guests.

Each time it operated, the complaint claims, the heater released carbon monoxide through a defective venting system into the laundry room and then into the adjoining guest bedroom.

The filing further alleges that the only smoke and carbon monoxide detector in or near the bedroom had been disconnected from its wiring and was not working.

It says the detector was already disconnected before the Ruskeys arrived and contends that the homeowners knew, or should have known through reasonable care, that it was inoperable.

“No alarm ever sounded,” the lawsuit states.

At approximately 4:34 a.m., Kristen called 911 because Jay was experiencing a severe medical crisis, according to the complaint.

The Santa Barbara Independent reported that Kristen told paramedics Jay was having a “bad trip” after consuming chocolate containing psychedelic mushrooms. Other partygoers reportedly heard him vomiting and screaming.

Paramedics recommended that he be taken to a hospital for “a higher level of care,” citing the full circumstances and his observed behavior, the outlet reported.

Jay declined medical treatment, however, and the paramedics left, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint alleges that Jay was vomiting, displaying seizure-like symptoms and had lost control of his bowels in bed — signs that can be associated with acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

Because there was no functioning alarm, the lawsuit claims, “neither the responding personnel nor the Korman Defendants nor anyone else at the Subject Property identified carbon monoxide as the cause of Jay’s symptoms.”

The filing also alleges that nobody tested the air in the laundry room or guest bedroom, turned off the water heater or aired out the contaminated areas.

Jay and Kristen eventually returned to bed, according to the complaint.

Between 9:30 and 10 a.m. the following morning, guests went to check on the couple and found them in separate areas of the home.

“They [the guests] found Kristen lying unresponsive on the floor of the Laundry Room, inside the door connecting it to the Guest Bedroom. They found Jay in the bed in the Guest Bedroom, unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing,” the lawsuit says.

Guests started CPR and placed another 911 call at around 10:20 a.m. Deputies from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, firefighters and paramedics arrived, but the couple could not be revived and were pronounced dead at the property, according to the filing.

A county coroner’s investigator examined the bodies at the scene and found no apparent injuries, the lawsuit says. Autopsies were conducted by a forensic pathologist on Feb. 12.

“In each of them, he found cerebral edema, pulmonary congestion, and cherry-pink lividity, the hallmark findings of carbon monoxide poisoning,” the complaint states.

The California Post contacted Navien Inc. and the Kormans seeking comment.

The Ruskeys were well known in the area as the owners and founders of Good Land Organics, an exotic-fruit farm, and FRINJ Coffee.

A three-story building in New York City collapsed into an adjacent construction site Wednesday afternoon, killing at least eight people and prompting a large-scale rescue effort that continued into the night.

The disaster unfolded in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood over several hours, beginning with the first 911 call and a frantic search for survivors before the death toll rose.

The collapse also drew renewed scrutiny to earlier construction violations at a neighboring development site.

Here is how the Brooklyn building collapse and emergency response unfolded, in Eastern Time:

4:01 p.m.: Building collapses as first 911 call comes in

The New York Police Department said it received the first 911 call about the collapse at 1321 Flatbush Ave. at 4:01 p.m. The three-story mixed-use property fell into an excavation pit at a neighboring construction site. The impact also ripped away a wall at 1323 Flatbush Ave., exposing apartments and stairwells.

6:30–6:33 p.m.: Husband says pregnant wife survived

After firefighters placed a woman in an ambulance, a man who had been urgently searching for his wife told reporters that she had survived the collapse.

9:03 p.m.: Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces casualties

Mayor Zohran Mamdani initially reported that at least 17 people had been injured and two had died. By Thursday morning, the number of fatalities linked to the collapse had risen to at least eight.

“I am heartbroken that eight New Yorkers have now lost their lives and at least 17 have been injured, including three firefighters,” Mamdani wrote on X. “There are no words for a loss of this magnitude. My heart is with the families and loved ones of those we have lost, those who are injured and everyone grieving today.”

Developers at 2625 Bedford Ave. had active permits for excavation and foundation work tied to plans for a new three-story building.

In March, the Department of Buildings issued a stop-work order after inspectors found that the existing structure had been demolished without sufficient safeguards for neighboring properties, including 1321 Flatbush Ave.

More than a month later, investigators found that demolition had continued despite the order, leading to a $10,000 fine. The stop-work order was lifted in May after the developers were found to be in compliance.

The longtime head of a prestigious Connecticut boarding school disappeared from his home and was later found unconscious from a suspected drug overdose at the family’s lake house, where police administered Narcan and revived him.

Charles Cahn III, 56, had led Suffield Academy for 23 years. He was placed on leave October 22, one day after federal agents reportedly arrived on campus as part of an IRS investigation.

Cahn’s removal from the position, which paid more than $1 million annually, came just hours after the agents visited the school on October 21.

For two days, Cahn could not be reached by relatives or friends and was not at his Connecticut home.

His wife eventually used location-tracking software and discovered that he was at the couple’s second home on a lake in Maine.

A Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the property and found Cahn experiencing what the incident report described as a drug overdose.

According to the report, Cahn was in bed with “agonal and labored” breathing. A bottle of prescription medication was found nearby, although the specific drugs he may have taken have not been disclosed.

The deputy gave Cahn two doses of Narcan, a medication capable of reversing the effects of certain overdoses, and helped save his life.

Cahn regained consciousness after receiving the medication and was taken to a hospital in nearby Bridgton, Maine.

The deputy later wrote that he was surprised to learn the identity of the man he had treated. “I learned Charles was the headmaster of a very prestigious school in Connecticut… and was under investigation for money laundering,” the report states.

Cahn resigned as Suffield’s head of school on Sunday, saying he wanted to concentrate on his health.

The details of the IRS inquiry remain unclear. The Boston Globe also reported that Cahn was being examined in connection with his relationship to a secretive Chinese company.

Property records show that Cahn and his wife, Hillary, 56, live in a $1.5 million residence on the Suffield Academy campus.

School trustees placed Cahn on leave after learning that he was the subject of an IRS investigation.

The school told members that its own finances were not being investigated. However, police indicated that questions had also been raised about possible discrepancies involving Cahn’s personal wealth.

In an email to trustees, Board President Frederic Powers said Suffield Academy was “cooperating fully with the investigation.”

After learning about the probe, the board members of the school decided to put Cahn on a leave. His successor, Casey Bobo has already taken up Cahn’s duties

Cahn had been regarded as a transformative leader at the boarding school and was expected to retire next summer.

During his tenure, he became one of the highest-paid leaders of a boarding school in the United States. Suffield had held a celebration honoring him only days before the announcement of his leave.

His sudden departure has shocked the school community. Parents told reporters that they had deeply admired Cahn’s leadership of the institution.

Casey Bobo, who had previously been identified as Cahn’s successor, has assumed his duties. One parent told the Boston Globe: “Everyone loved Charlie.”

Following news of Cahn’s overdose, Suffield Academy said it had hired a crisis public-relations firm to assist with the situation.

“We understand that this announcement may raise questions, and we appreciate your understanding of the limits on what we can share,” Powers wrote in his email.

Cahn’s attorney, Duncan Levin, said his client had devoted 34 years to Suffield Academy.

“He loves the Suffield community and is proud of what he, the faculty, and the staff have built together,” Levin said. “As he steps down, he wants the school to be able to focus on its students.”

Cahn joined Suffield as an English teacher and lacrosse coach. In 2004, he was promoted to the position of head of school at age 34

Founded nearly two centuries ago, the New England academy has approximately 420 students. Annual tuition for boarding students is $79,400, and about 20 percent of the student body comes from outside the United States.

Cahn began at Suffield as an English teacher and lacrosse coach before advancing through several leadership roles. He earned $1,124,088 during the 2024-25 fiscal year and received slightly more than $1 million in each of the two previous years.

Before becoming head of school, Cahn served as dean of the faculty and led admissions. He was appointed to the top position in 2004 at the age of 34.

He met his wife, Hillary Rockwell, while they were both at the school.

The couple raised their two children on campus and became closely associated with the academy’s identity. Their family photographs were even featured in school marketing materials.

Cahn was also known for his fundraising ability, a strength the school cited as a reason for his substantial compensation.

During his leadership, he helped oversee major changes to Suffield’s 350-acre campus, including the construction of athletic facilities, a dining hall and academic buildings.

He frequently traveled throughout the United States and overseas to support the school’s fundraising efforts.

His scheduled appearances included alumni gatherings in Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, San Francisco, Boston and New York City.

Suffield had also developed plans to honor Cahn and build on the fundraising legacy he established during more than two decades as head of school.

Dozens of elite colleges and universities are facing accusations that they found a backdoor way around the Supreme Court’s rejection of affirmative action in admissions by relying on an outside organization.

The Equal Protection Project alleges that 30 prominent schools recruit minority applicants through a “racially discriminatory pre-screened pool” operated by the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT) Consortium, a program designed to promote diversity in education.

“There is inconsistent compliance with the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision nationally, not just limited to particular schools, and so this jumped out at us,” William Jacobson, president and founder of the Equal Protection Project, told The Post.

“What this consortium allows them to do is recruit from a pool of applicants that has already been screened for race and ethnicity.”

On Thursday, the Equal Protection Project filed a complaint with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, alleging that the 30 IRT Consortium member schools violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law prohibits federally funded schools from engaging in racial discrimination.

Founded in Andover, Mass., in 1990, the IRT Consortium was created to increase diversity in K-12 education and higher education. The number of participating schools has changed over the years.

In 2023, however, the Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard that using race-based admissions standards violates Title VI and the Fourteenth Amendment.

“This is a scholarship; no university money is funding it,” Jacobson acknowledged. “That’s actually not a legal excuse.”

The consortium’s mission statement says it supports underserved and underrepresented future educators, while its application asks candidates to write an essay on “diversity advocacy.”

In its complaint, the Equal Protection Project cited IRT data showing that more than “90% of its participants in the 2026 cohort identify as people of color.”

“We believe that this warrants a full investigation,” Jacobson said. “We do not have access, obviously, to the internal workings of each of these schools to see whether they did, in fact, take race into account through this method.”

Jacobson said the circumstances justify investigating the schools, describing their “mere fact that they’re participating” in the IRT Consortium as “troubling.”

He founded the Equal Protection Project in 2023 as an advocacy organization focused on identifying and challenging race-based affirmative action practices.

Jacobson said the group has challenged roughly 900 programs since its launch and has already prevailed in about 350 cases.

“We were successful even under the Biden administration, but we’re seeing, I think, greater success now under the [Trump] administration,” he said.

“We only bring cases where we believe we have very strong evidence of a civil rights violation. We don’t challenge DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] programs just because they’re DEI. We only challenge them if we believe there’s a legal violation.”

The schools named in the complaint include Boston College, Brandeis University, Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Duke University, Emory University, Harvard University, New York University, Purdue University, Princeton University, Rice University, Rutgers University, Stanford University, University of Arizona, and University of California, Berkeley.

The complaint also names the University of California Davis, University of California San Diego, University of Connecticut, University of Kentucky, University of Maine, University of Maryland, College Park, University of New Hampshire, University of Notre Dame, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, University of Vermont, Washington State University, and Yale University.

The Post contacted the schools named in the complaint and the IRT Consortium for comment.

“Our philosophy is that race or ethnicity should never be a factor in educational opportunities,” Jacobson said. “We do not accept that the answer for past racism is more racism.”

Anti-Israel protesters sought to discourage customers from visiting six Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia on the eve of the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Instead, supporters turned out in force, with lines stretching around city blocks and at least one restaurant fearing it would run out of food. The effort to drive diners away appeared to have the opposite effect, bringing even more customers through the doors.

Jewish Student Union leaders, educators and student activists are giving high school students the tools to confront antisemitism, defend their identities and remain proudly Jewish on campus.

Baseball legend Reggie Jackson compared the surge of antisemitism with the brutal Jim Crow racism he experienced in the segregated South during the 1960s, when separate eateries and bomb threats shaped his minor league career. The Hall of Famer also criticized Philadelphia politicians for remaining silent and called for immediate action: “We have to speak up!”

Michigan’s Jewish community is sharply divided following progressive firebrand Abdul El-Sayed’s historic Senate victory. The CEO of Detroit’s Jewish Federation is preparing to work across party lines, while angry Democratic strategists are warning Jewish voters against supporting a party they say has tolerated antisemitism and pointing to El-Sayed’s strong criticism of Israel.

In the heart of Dubai, history is being presented through a groundbreaking museum founded by Emirati collector Ahmed Obaid Al Mansoori. Inspired by the Abraham Accords, the gallery brings Arabs, Jews and Christians together while honoring the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the Muslim rescuers who defied Nazi terror.

Tessa Veksler, a former UC Santa Barbara student body president and spokesperson for the Jewish Student Union, is urging young Jews to remain engaged after Election Day. Drawing on her own experiences on campus, she says students should build strong communities centered on Jewish joy, step forward as leaders and stay active regardless of who occupies public office.

“It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate ‘white’ and ‘colored’ signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains, ‘no n—s.’ I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.” — MLB legend Reggie Jackson on the rise of antisemitism in Philadelphia.
