HOLLYWOOD — Jimmy Kimmel may have finally gone too far. What started as a “harmless joke” during a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has erupted into full-blown internet chaos — and insiders say Stephen Curry is absolutely LIVID.

The late-night host, known for his edgy humor, took a swing at the power couple during a sketch that aired Tuesday night. In it, Kimmel made what he called a “light joke” about Ayesha Curry’s cookbook sales and implied Steph “only shoots 3s because he’s afraid to handle things at home.”

😤 Steph Was Watching Live — and Lost It!

Multiple sources close to the Curry family say Steph was watching the segment live from home in San Francisco, relaxing with family — until the joke aired. Witnesses say the Warriors star suddenly stood up, threw the remote, and stormed out of the room, muttering,

“You crossed the line, Jimmy.”

“He felt blindsided,” a family friend said. “It wasn’t funny. It felt like a shot at his wife and his manhood. And Steph doesn’t play when it comes to family.”

🧨 Social Media Erupts: #RespectCurry Trends Worldwide

Within minutes, X (formerly Twitter) lit up like wildfire. Fans from around the globe slammed Kimmel for what they called a “cheap, misogynistic dig” at Ayesha — a respected author, chef, and entrepreneur.

“Not cool, Jimmy. You don’t drag someone’s wife into a joke like that.”
“Steph Curry is a legend. Ayesha’s built her own empire. Put some respect on that family’s name.”
“Apologize. Publicly. Loudly.”

The hashtag #RespectCurry started trending #1 worldwide within two hours.

📺 Kimmel’s Camp: “It Was Just a Joke!”

Kimmel’s representatives released a brief statement saying,

“Jimmy’s joke was meant in good fun and not intended to offend the Currys. We admire both Stephen and Ayesha greatly.”

But the internet isn’t buying it. Fans are calling for an on-air apology, while others are demanding Kimmel “keep athletes’ families out of your monologue.”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Curry Family Is “Disappointed but Not Surprised”

A source close to Ayesha Curry said she’s “hurt, but not shaken,” and that the couple is united and focused on protecting their family’s peace.

“They’ve dealt with fame, criticism, and attention for years — but this one hit different. It wasn’t a roast. It was disrespect.”

From MVP to family man, Stephen Curry has long been known for his composure and grace. But when the cameras are off and his loved ones are targeted? Even the calmest Warriors can roar.

🔥 Lesson of the night: Don’t mess with the Currys. Especially not on live TV.
