Stephen Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry, broke down in tears after Paris police stopped her from going to her car with her four-month-old as they cleared the road for President Emmanuel Macron’s motorcade.
Ayesha and her mother-in-law, Sonya, got caught up in a tense exchange with officers as they tried to leave the men’s basketball final on Saturday after Team USA ground out a 98-87 win over France at the Olympics.
But police refused to let the family cross the road to a waiting vehicle or let their driver come pick them up, despite pleas from Ayesha’s mother-in-law Sonya who was heard yelling that someone had ‘touched the baby’.
A good Samaritan stepped in, acting as translator amid the chaos, informing the family that ‘the president’ was coming and ‘nobody’s allowed to cross the street right now until he’s passed’, video published online by Hollywood Fix revealed.
The tense encounter came as the Currys and Steph’s Golden State Warrior teammate, Draymond Green, were leaving the stadium after Team USA’s 98-87 Olympic win over host France.
