Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry's triumph at the Paris Olympics was marred by an intense incident involving his wife, Ayesha Curry, his mother, Sonya Curry, and teammate Draymond Green. The incident, captured on video by The Hollywood Fix, showcased a confrontation between the Curry family and police officers in Paris.

In the video, Sonya Curry is seen passionately challenging one officer, warning, "You will not sleep well." Ayesha Curry and Green are seen engaging in discussion with other officers nearby. Ayesha, visibly emotional, is holding one young child in a baby carrier and another child by her side.

According to Sonya, the group was facing difficulty in returning to their original location. She explained, "They won't let us go back over there where we came from. They won't let the driver come here, and they won't let us go back over there." The reason cited by an officer was the arrival of the French President, Emmanuel Macron, who was passing through the area following his attendance at the gold medal match.

In an unexpected turn of events, Green alleged that one of the officers had struck Ayesha's child on the head. Perplexed, Green questioned, "So, even after him hitting the baby in the head, there's still nothing y'all can do to get them out of here?" The officer appeared to apologize for the incident, but Sonya's priority remained getting to their car.

Security measures during the Paris Olympics were notably strict, with over 30,000 police officers deployed within and around Paris to ensure the safety of Olympic attendees. Additionally, for the closing ceremony, 20,000 police troops and other security personnel were mobilized.

The incident involving the Curry family and Green shines a light on the challenges faced by high-profile individuals and their families in navigating heightened security protocols during major international events. As the Paris Olympics come to a close, it serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between ensuring safety and maintaining respectful interactions with attendees.
