She let her guard down, to show that fame and success don't always mean happiness. We never really know what someone is really going through.I pray that you find joy within you! God bless you!
What is happines?
Does she look happy to you now?
Steph isn't going home anymore, he is going to be going to visist his mom. Can you tell the difference? It's BIG.
I hope they find a way to get to where they can be friendly and polite to each other. They raised a wonderful family. Be proud 👏
Take care of you Sonya! " This to shall Pass" 🙏🏿♾️
Sonya, you are human. I could relate on all the pressures women endure just to keep up. Thank you for your transparency. Strong and vulnerable Women empower real women. Sonya has a lot to be proud of. And i look forward to hearing more on her renewed self. Blessings. 🙏💜🌼
This was a great interview, and I love Mrs.Sonya's transparency!
Beautiful spirit. I hope she recovers and heals from the things she went through and that God will allow her story to be help for someone else. The hardest thing sometimes is looking back seeing how much you endured. Facing forward her story will help so many wives/girlfriends in the NBA and other women dealing with life. It's wise to always remember..everything that glitters isn't gold.
I just love mama Curry. She has me over here crying with her honesty.
Christina Morris@ she’s no saint
Very inspirational lady, she has been through a whole lot. With that comes wisdom.
I have no idea why during that interview a tear even fell my eyes. I guess as someone who also went through a divorce (even as a man) I understand how difficult it is, and the amount of doubt & fears that enter your mind every day about yourself the 1st couple of yrs. I was married 15yrs w/2 kids. It's very difficult for a while, but you do eventually come out the other side. Salutes & prayers for you Ms.Sonya.💚
Thank you for posting... and revealing that you're a man. Much respect because you shared your emotions... "Sometimes" men give a perception they're SO STRONG & certain (emotional) things doesn't affect them. Greatly appreciate your comment. Wishing you a bountiful future🌺
Wow, didn't know how much I needed to see this. I always loved everyone in the Curry family but to hear her share these things is so refreshing and important especially to women. Much respect🙏🏽❤❤❤
Reading the comments, men are appreciating this, also.
Rich people problems
What a great interview Jemele. Sonya Curry you have given the world so much. Just yes, keep the faith. Look forward to your continued strength and wisdom through the truth.
This was a good interview. Steph is the male her. He is a split image of her including his mannerisms.
I was thinking the same think and Seth is like Dell
I Agree 💯
Mrs Sonya Curry you are a beautiful spirit. I like your personality, God continue blessings!🙏🏽❤️🌹
She got caught cheating now look she taught the grass was greener on the other side
She's torn
. God help her find peace.
Keep your life private now your life will be pan dora box.
This is so powerful. Thank you so much for sharing and being transparent. You are helping so many people. You and your daughter are blessing and helping people you don’t even know. Keep your head up and continue to walk as God has ordered your steps. Thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️👍🏾
Give this woman some grace. Women are more prone to give it to males repeatedly. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
Some women destroy their own home.
Yep - Proverbs 14:1
Yeah I bet she's depressed!!! Dealing with that man she cheated with...
I think she's a beautiful lady. We as women should have more conversations like this. We all deserve Grace and Menopause is no JOKE!!🙏💕
Is there a part 2 or maybe I'm missing it?
I'd be depressed too if the wife of the man I left my husband for is now sleeping with MY HUSBAND!! Perhaps I heard it wrong, but It's my understanding that Sonya slept with Del's best friend, so Del decided to sleep with that cheating best friend's wife!! WIFE-SWAP!! If true, how Steph kept his focus to win a ring with all that going on in the background this season boggles my mind.
There are things we need to keep personal.
Agree 👍we all fall short God love her
I agree!
In most cases, certainly true. But in well-known, highly publicized people, they are often not given any opportunity for privacy. Gossip about them generates revenues for a multitude of outlets. Like she said "...people benefit from their stories and there's no shrinking back..." She has no choice but to give her point of view otherwise the narratives are spun around her without any balance of her personal truth included.
@@dianemoonstone4715 ohhh is that why they feel the need to tell so much.
@@audreyloire3131 Yes, I understand. I never knew anything about the Curry's until a couple of years ago. Dell and Sonya, I saw an interview. I heard Ashley Judd say they had to tell everyone how her Mom killed herself before it came out.
You are still my first lady of basketball moms.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a great interview! Sonya you are an awesome and inspiring woman! Thanks you for sharing fo much with us!!!
Sonya thank you for your vulnerability. Marriage is not easy. You have raised 3 beautiful children. God will use the pain for gain. God will bring Beauty out of the ashes. Reflect on Jeremiah 29:11❤🌹🙏🏾 Thank you for being true to yourself and leaning on and depending on your Faith in God more than fame and success. True success and freedom is obtain through being who you created to be. What you have been through does not alter God Purpose for you. Love you much❤
Damn...As a son to a mom. You remind us of why it's important to talk and take note of what mom says and why she does what she does day in and out. #MomCurryMVP💯🙏🏻🔥
Sonya said it best when she said to give her some grace. Some of our children have no idea the depth at which some of us have been violated by people who were charged to love and protect us. I am not a victim. I am strong and victorious and an overcomer because of God's grace and mercy and my testimony.
Thank you for sharing that as a mother of 3 that means everything!!
G
Sonya, it’s YOUR time now. You’ve done a magnificent job raising three incredible human beings. Rebirth is a beautiful thing. It’s not easy but we’ll worth the journey. Blessings to you.
Amen
Rebirth is indeed a beautiful thing. I agree.
9th
You guys got it twisted.
She does not look happy, infact she looks old and exhausted.
Time for what? Remember married is sacred. How about her husband? He didn’t do anything to raise his children? I don’t understand what’s your narrative..
Why are you putting this out there. People tell too much. Move on already.
1 word.....ATTENTION.
2 word ….CLOUT
This is her way cleansing.
Celebrities need to stop airing their dirty laundry on social media. We don't need to read her book or hear about their cheating on each other. Not good role models for their family going forward.
@@sweetdiva590 Exactly....still a sleuth!!!!
From the outside looking in, it can appear to be a beautiful life for a woman, wife & mother of an NBA player. However, that truly depends upon the player. There's obviously a great deal of pressure on NBA players. They must perform on the highest level and always, for the most part, be a positive representation of the NBA’s culture. However, what we often don't see is the wives and girlfriends in the background who at times can suffer from loneliness and negative views or opinions from the public. Sonya is a beautiful woman, but for those NBA wives/girlfriends who appear regular, they can receive an onslaught of negative comparisons or just plain rude comments about their appearance. It has to be hard to stay positive and confident in these relationships if you're with a man who doesn't really see you and honour you in positive ways.
Agree completely. Plus, there are temptations of multitude of very attractive personalities, both good and bad that these athletes and other famous people are exposed to including groupies and golddiggers. Scam artists, too. These athletes are high testosterone types who often indulge themselves. Magic Johnson had...was it more than a 1,000 or so sexual partners?...when the Aids epidemic struck him?? And that type of activity has gone on and continues to do so in the NBA. All that wealth, glamor, opportunities to indulge and/or cheat is highly available.
Grace and peace beloved Queen Sonya. We thank God for blessing us with abundant life, love, excellent health and strength. You're certainly a phenomenal woman who has nurtured the seeds of greatness in all yr children. Steph is arguably one of the greatest Basketball Champions in the world. Only by the grace of God has he been able to achieve so much and God's favor and unchanging hand is still upon yr beautiful family. Through the storms and the rain, mountains and the valley He abides faithful because His word is truth. He cannot deny Himself. Don't stop praying and working towards a brighter future. God loves you. Jesus loves you and we love you too. Things will get better in due season. God bless you, The best is yet to come. Jesus is Lord. Amen. Congratulations on the 4peat!! Absolutely outstanding!! Amen.
Sonya, you are a beautiful person, inside and out...imperfectly perfect...by God's grace you are here to tell your story ..and I'm here for it...it's very beneficial to me...🙏
May God continue to carry you through, Amen
Wishing you all the best, Mama Curry!
This was such a powerful interview. Coming from a man, I was enlightened and awakened to hear and understand her plight and pain. Stay strong Sonya. You are so inspiring.
simp
I love her makeup and glowing skin. Haitian Queen!!
Sonya Curry thanks for keeping it real and for sharing your Faith and your life's journey. May you continue to be Blessed in your life and all that GOD have for you in your future.
I can understand the human experience this platform bring for pop culture, politicians, sports and entertainment figures. But the real hero stories are in everyday peoples overcoming tragedies human experiences with less resources. When overcoming is a necessity not a choice.
Well said👍🏼💐
This 60 year old black women chested on her husband with a white man and now the people supposed to go out and purchase her book 😆
If it wasn’t for steph nobody would be talking about this woman nor the other woman who hates that men don’t look at her. Everybody trying to get their 15 minutes. Jeeeeeezzzz
Wow. Very nice to hear the warm kind thoughts about her. On some sites she is being blamed for not staying in what may have felt like an unloving unprotected marriage. Not saying it doesn't take 2. It does. But sometimes it's stated that women should endure infidelity while men are told a woman isn't worthy if she does it....I'm not for infidelity.
I will be regularly praying for you Ms. Curry. You are a wonderful person and I know you will continue to flourish in your life with the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many blessings!!!
Ungrateful 304!
Black women are the backbone of families, communities and the countries we are in; we never give them permission to let the idea of being tired or depressed- too busy taking care of the world. The vulnerability is major because is it not just expressing but expressing it it in safe/ sacred places. We must know that if we are too come forward then as Black women we will have a black lash of some kind to make us regret coming out , but be not afraid because we will also have this unconditional support that we have always yearned for. May that power of expression w authenticity raise our world, peace sister Sonia 🙏🏽♥️
You black women are always in victim mode. I don't have no sympathy for Sonya, Jada Pinkett, or Ayesha Curry. They live the lives most of you would never live. This is just womanism 101, when caught in something unflattering, write a book go on a bunch of women daytime talk shows, and be some kind of victim. We live in a gynocentric society, every place you go is a safe space, the only time it isn't a safe space, is when you choose to go where your curiosity lead you, instead of common sense. Anything to avoid accountability. Black women haven't been the backbone of families since the 50's and 60's. Look no further than the condition of the black communitah, marriage rates stands at 25% and dropping, compared to over 50% for your counterparts in other communities. 72% children born out of wedlock, backbone my @ss. I bet there are far more virgin black men than virgin black women. Simply put, you guys have done nothing but sexually liberate yourselves to being sexual objects not even requiring any kind of commitment from a man until you are 2 to 3 kids in. After you become used up from giving your womb away to a bunch of undeserving men, you run to the church and pray to god to send you a man. Black men are hipped to that playbook thanks to social media.
🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Lies😂😂🤣🤣
G. Graves I as a black man agree with your statement. 👊🏾
Sonia… NOTHING BUT LOVE SIS!
Just cane here to dislike
Lol 60 year old black women cheating on her husband 😆 sad nobody to look up to
@ᴊᴇᴍᴇʟᴇ ʜɪʟʟ lady no Chinese people thinking about you 😆 ps men can't have kids
@ᴊᴇᴍᴇʟᴇ ʜɪʟʟ blacks have to stop voting godless immoral democrat
I'm proud ad a black woman that she is opening up. I'm also close to God and have fought those emotions.And has experienced those things as a woman that is now 60. You want to know you, even though you have experienced it all! We as women have been told to be quiet be strong put on a good face and take it! Not! God awakening brings us to our spirit of self. I had to move on almost 30 years ago. But the healing continues. I will buy your book because I will finally heal from something that is real.
We all have to realize we are not Shira and we don't have the power all Glory goes to God.
Amen. I am 66 and healing also. May God bless you in a mighty way.
Very enlightening I wish this Queen all the best 🙏🙏🙏 She did an awesome job
These women are always unhappy.. The marry a man that gives them everything.. But everything is not enough...
Sonja and Dell Curry have done a great job raising their children that's for sure regardless of what happened between them I wish them the very best 👌
I knew I was going to ne a young mom too. Wouldn't change it for the world! I just focused on having good kids but in the end forgot about me. It's hard to find yourself again but it's difficult. I was a mom at 17 got 4.
Give me a break!
Sending positive prayers and positive thoughts your way things always change nothing remains the same you have a fantastic family amen 😀😁
Kudos!! This book will bless the lives of those it was truly meant to bless. It takes a lot of courage to be transparent in a world full of critics.
Yo that coochie is done. She aint getting her groove back so stop it.
must be really depressed with all the money she gonna get
Facts
Awesome Testimony! She was preaching!!
A grandmother having affair and talking about Grace. Really??!
ALWAYS THE WOMAN IS THE VICTUM
EXACTLY!!! I want to hear his side.
I’ll be praying for her I don’t know her but she seems like a very nice person 🙏🏾💛👼🏽
To SC and his brothers and sisters. It's cool to make jump shots and all of that but the biggest Game in your life is your Mother.and you guys need her in your life more than anything in this life. Mom is the real game in your guy's life. She does not need to say this to you but she needs more than ever right now! I think you guys know this. The real Ring in this life is to do the right thing and have not regrets and no could or should or would've. She needs you guys in her life. And, bring your father into this Family gathering. Then you guys will have the real Ring of life on your Fingers. Love them both, Mom and pop. Remember Family is forever and bring them together and put them first. That is the jump shot to make and it the same time I know that you can make the shot. I see the joy which you give people when you make those Shots. Now let your family know how much you live them. The ball is in your court now. Bring your family together because They are the re so Ring. Bro. Unite
It appeared that Dell wanted to maintain the status quo, whereas Sonya wanted out. Dell had had these "outside activities" throughout their marriage and ongoing, but she had enough. Dell lashed out because of the financial aspects of it which is how we the public initially found out. But their children, loving them equally, still backed their mother. It's still a painful emotional situation no matter your age and stature in life.
Today, people are choosing to live their lives the way that is best for them. Being depended isn’t always the best for many women. It’s about having a choice to live your best life and not go to your grave unhappy. There is nothing worst then being lonely with a spouse or partner. You have to find who you are and the things you want in this life because it cannot be repeated. One shot is all you get in this life.
Why do I have water in my eyes? Great interview I always like listening to her voice, very pleasant and warm. I don't like to see women or children crying.
We're all here for you.. 🙏 Nothing wrong with being human... and the ability to LET IT OUT.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us you are absolutely right I'm close to retirement and you know you kind of think of what you going to do next and because your life is not over it's just beginning but I guess I'm going kind of through the same thing I'm not sure if I'm depressed I just don't like to hang out with people anymore so I don't know if that's depression or what ever since covid happened I just don't want to be around anybody cuz I'm around a lot of people at work I'm working retail but I appreciate you sharing your story it brings a lot of light to a lot of stuff and I'm just going to keep pushing until I can't push no more
Love ❤️ Sonya Curry! Tell your truth 🙏🏽
I'm not going to judge this woman,I love Stephen curry to much to try and condemn his mother .the woman is just a woman like my mother who made a mistake and left my father it's a human thing.so let it be still much respect to Stephen curry family who is my favorite person in this time era of life ❤️
Sonya put up with Dell's "outside straying" throughout their marriage. It's something that was well known in Dell's circle of associates. The marriage reached their ultimate crisis and was over once the last child, Sydel had moved on. Sonya's job was done and she had to figure out what was left for her to do. If you noticed, all her children supported her. They all knew the background story.
WOULD U LIKE SOME FRENCH CRY'S WITH THAT
🤣
Beautiful spirit! I know every woman goes through the what do I do next phase when the kids grow up, but you figure it out . She is a lovely person and God will continue to guide. She is in good hands.
Whoop that trick!!
Thank God for Jesus !!!
If you want peace Mrs.Curry here are some things that may help: 1. Less talking, more praying. 2. Forget those things which are behind, press forward 3. Show and ask for forgiveness and mercy as you take your ass back home where it is safe. It is a jungle out here, and you are like a domestic pet running free, oblivious to the dangers. You don't see the wild animals trying to get within striking distance.
Life is about sacrifice.
What did she want? Wanted to express herself, she did. Well now she looks old and exhausted.
They messed up something beautiful.
By the way, when is she changing her lastname?
Sonya , I hope u didn’t create this mess up Dell’s family “first nba family”
u can say whatever u can, but the fact of the matter is u….. relocate w ur new…u file divorce . Sorry to say it, this is what villainess do, no more no less!!
Blessings on Blessings to You and your beautiful family
I give her credit.For help ing raise 2 boys and 1 girl.And being the wife of an NBA basketball player.
To old to start messing around.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
King James Version
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
I know, people quote "judge not or you will also be judged" loosely these days. In her case, though, *judge not...* It seems to me, she's still "broken."
Broken is a great place to meet the Lord!🙌🏽
Sonya has had a lot of Dell's ongoing "outside activities" throughout their marriage to be "broken" about. She just chose this time to try and find her own new journey and new purpose. Her job as a wonderful mother is mostly done, although I know she'll always be a parent forever. And that job is never completely over.

Great job Jemele and Sonya
It's gonna be alright, Sistah Sonya. God got your back. Keep praise Him and putting Him first in everything!
Sonya is the real MVP!!!
No tf she isnt.
Great interview
Wtf now everybody dealing with depression
wtf is she depressed about? shes rich!! she should be happy all day everyday!!!!
She is a problem. I see why dell left her
Oh Sonya...you're an amazing and inspiring woman. It's your authenticity and transparency that's beautiful.
There’s two sides to the story. I want to hear from Deal Curry. Because she would be a nobody If it wasn’t for deal curry who married her.
Agreed there are two sides to the story. Dell has.platforms and ways to share his story if her cares to.
Honesty you and no one else knows what her life would amount to.
Isn't it fair to say that without her we wouldn't have Steph and Stephin Curry?
She is important as a human being but that has nothing to do with having two sides of the story.
@@jamspringz if dell would have chosen a different women then his talented sons would have a different mother. You can’t put her before dell So let’s hope we hear from dell.
@@blkmanreal2349 , Every reproductive class/ lecture that I’ve ever heard, taught it takes a sperm and EGG to produce a specifically distinctive individual. So, While Dell could have had other kids with another woman, he wouldn’t have the ones he has, PERIODT.
I loved her book!😉
Great interview but let's still hold her accountable for her infeldelity also, let's keep it fair, no excuse, and then he is part of the colgate crew, SMH c'mon sis we all have to do better as a collective community
Who the fucc are you to say she needs to be held accountable. The only person she should be accountable to is her family
We don't really know what happened. Just because it's reported in the tabloid doesn't make it true. Also the timing of when the tabloid said it happened was after they had already separated.
@@Babyface7024 fok u been? She's was on video touching and letting other man besides her husband touch her. Then admitted disappearing from her home a year after touching another man in her husband's presence to go live with that same man while still Married .
B W Always got an excuse and are never accountable for their bad behavior and choices.
Typical woman. It's always something or
someone else's fault to subtly explain bad behavior. Accountability is a woman's Kryptonite
@@bullydakidd2023 They both were no good so they're even. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, Dell been cheating since day 1 so if the wife goes off and plays with another penis then that's exactly what should happen. If one does it the other should, you have to be on the same page in a relationship and that includes cheating😁 We stand behind Sonya all day!!
Only thing I give Sonya credit for is being strong enough and real enough to walk away with her life to do her own thing because of what she felt and wanted outside the marriage instead of staying with Dale and sneaking around being a snake committing adultery behind his back and acting as if she was still a faithful wife, at least now it's all out in the opening and both of them can move on with their lives and what ever the future holds for each of them and their wonderful family, the important thing we all have to remember about life and marriage is that you change and you grow together or apart as time moves on and being there are two individuals in a marriage each person have their own set of thoughts and feelings which are definitely not the same as their significant other sometimes and if there is no ground for the two to compromise constructively then their marriage dream may start to fizzle out to empty energy until there is nothing left to hold onto.
Just bought your book it arrives tomorrow .Thanks 😊
Very relatable.
I applaud Sonya for sharing her truth. I am sure her best days are ahead.
Everyone looking for their advantage 🤔
I think she has been a fake for a long time. She damaged the worlds perception of her with her entanglements. Now its damage control.
Great realistic transparency video
Tough to be a wife and a mother .. I know that’s the package but we are just a human being .. I salute to you and all woman who made sacrifices
Just one more reason to love the Currys. How fortunate are we to witness this level of truth and transparency. It’s rare for anyone of Sonya’s stature and awe inspiring. ✨✨✨
Thank you, Sonya and Jemele. ✨✨✨
Not about Stephen Curry... about infedelity... cause everyone now know her business!!
Well, I gotta say, You Curry,s are simply M V P! ! ! !
I mean.
Y,all are for REAL!
What outwardly seems like the "charmed" existence; and, it IS blessed, is actually so NORMAL.
We are all beneficiaries of your story.
Thank you for sharing .
Children the world over arr trying to be like you.
Y,all have elevated humanity.
God loves!
PEACE
