Daily #1: Stephen Curry Responds to Killer Mike, Protects Wife Ayesha
Stephen Curry fired back at Killer Mike after the rapper called his wife, Ayesha Curry, an “embarrassment” in an Instagram comment. “Naaaaa not you Mike,” replied Stephen, 37. “I’m cool stating and letting these other clowns have they’re [sic] moment… you’re better than that… Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”
The Steph Curry comments came in response to a comment that Killer Mike, whose real name is Michael Render, made on a September 5 Instagram video from artist Bookie Woodz, in which he accused Ayesha, 36, of “struggling with trying not to cheat on her husband” and compared her to rapper GloRilla. “My n**** Said She Wanna Go Be Glo!!!” Mike wrote, prompting the Golden State Warriors star to jump in. “Man Steph Doesn’t deserve the embarrassment frfr. God bless him.”
Daily #2: Reese Witherspoon Reflects on Overcoming a Past Relationship That Diminished Her Spirit
Reese Witherspoon candidly shared she “had to rewire my brain” after leaving a past abusive relationship. It seems odd that such a famous actress was in an abusive relationship. “You get into relationships that don’t work for you, and sometimes you don’t even see the dynamics that are happening,” the “Morning Show” star said during her Saturday appearance on the New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast. “When I got out of that, it took me a while to reconstitute myself. My spirit had been diminished because I thought all those awful things that person said about me were true. I had to rewire my brain.”
Despite working through the trauma, the actress recalled still being “really insecure” long after the relationship ended. “It took me a long time to be this woman that I am now,” Witherspoon, 49, continued. “It’s very hard to be a public figure. I have a lot of compassion for people who live public lives and maintain privacy.” “It’s nearly impossible at this point, with everybody dehumanizing you, taking pictures of you like you’re an animal in the zoo instead of a person with their children. It was really hard, and being a mom and wanting to protect young people is hard too,” she added.
Daily #3: Prince Harry Remembers Heartwarming Disney World Memory with Princess Diana
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are looking back at their childhood memories of Disneyland – and what it was like to take their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, earlier this year. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took part in ABC’s The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland – Special Edition of 20/20, which aired on Sunday, September 21, detailing their June trip to Disneyland for daughter Lili’s 4th birthday.
Meghan, 44, said to US Magazine, it was “amazing” to see the Disney theme park “through your children’s eyes,” recalling some of her early memories of the popular Anaheim, California, destination. “It’s just so magical. I’m a Southern California girl, so being able to go to Disneyland is a lot more accessible than it is for most people, but it’s still the biggest treat in the world,” Meghan said. Meghan, who grew up in Los Angeles, added, “One of my biggest experiences of Disneyland was going for grad night. Grad night’s all high school seniors, you go after hours, it’s dark … I don’t know why they let us do that! It’s so much fun!”
