Ayesha Curry's controversial tweet after the Warriors' Game 6 loss in the NBA Finals created quite the stir in the sports world.

She recently explained her mindset to People Magazine.

“I was just a fan in that moment so I didn’t think about the ramifications,” she said. “I regret the way that I voiced how hurt I was. I felt hurt for [Steph], and I didn’t mean to offend anybody.

"Obviously, what I wrote is not what I think about what he does for a living.”

Curry was ejected near the end of the game -- a 115-101 defeat -- and Ayesha tweeted the following soon thereafter:

"I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry."

Two days later, Steph responded to questions about his wife.

“There’s nothing really that’s going to distract me from what’s happening on the court,” Curry said. “Yeah, I get asked about. And what’s between me and Ayesha is . . . the conversations about what happened, that’s going to be handled.

“But other than that, that doesn’t take any spotlight off of what my job is on the floor and what these next 48 minutes are going to be like in Game 7. So that’s kind of all I’m worried about.

“I might have to cut the Wi-Fi off at my house, though.”
