Ayesha Curry Regrets Getting Implants In The Past: “They Weren’t Good For Me”
Ayesha Curry is one of the celebs that is refreshingly honest about the highs and lows of the journey of stardom. Both her and her husband, Steph Curry, are poster children of getting this public eye relationship thing right, and that's what we love about them. Additionally, Ayesha manages to balance her family's very public personas with being a full-time entrepreneur and damn good mom.
So, when she joined 'The Ellen Show' to discuss all of the above, we equally got all of our lives.
During a segment called 'Drawer Dash', a game where Ellen instructs guests to find something in their homes based on a specific criteria, Ellen asked the Cookbook author to "bring me something, that you never want to see again."
Ayesha responded by running off camera to get her mystery item, just to return with two silicon-filled breast implants. Yes, her breast implants. She says:
"OK, so these are my old implants, and I've been waiting for the perfect moment to have like a going away party for them, because they weren't good to me, they didn't work for me. They worked for some people but they've got to go, and I don't want to ever see them again."
"Good for you!" Ellen exclaimed, the audience cheering them on.
In the past, Ayesha confirmed getting plastic surgery in 2015 when she received the implants, and in May 2019, she also admitted that she decided to get a "lift" after suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth to her second child, Ryan. She told Working Mother magazine:
"I didn't realize at the time, but after having Ryan, I was battling a bit of postpartum that lingered for a while. It came in the form of me being depressed about my body. So I made a rash decision. The intention was just to have them lifted, but I came out with these bigger boobs I didn't want. I got the most botched boob job on the face of the planet. They're worse now than they were before. I would never do anything like that again, but I'm an advocate of it if something makes you happy, who cares about the judgement?"
Additionally, the mommy of three, has famously recently shed 35 pounds, shocking social media with her lowkey progress. In a video for Harper's Bazaar, she opens up about her approach to nutrition and reveals that working out has become more important to her over time.
"Fitness wasn't really a part of my lifestyle and I'd say the past year and a half post having all of my kids, it's really become a staple for me and it helps me have mental clarity. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. I feel happier when I work out. So I do try to work out at least five days a week."
Her honesty is everything.
Also during the interview, Curry reveals that her son thought that Steph was a golfer, her Mother's Day plans, and the humbleness of her husband breaking all those records in the league right now.

You've Never Seen Luke James In A Role Quite Like This
Over the years, we've watched Luke James play countless characters we'd deem sex symbols, movie stars, and even his complicated character in Lena Waithe's The Chi. For the first time in his career, the New Orleans-born actor has taken on a role where his signature good looks take a backseat as he transforms into Edmund in Them: The Scare—a mentally deranged character in the second installment of the horror anthology series that you won't be able to take your eyes off.
Trust us, Edmund will literally make you do a double take.
xoNecole sat down with Luke James to talk about his latest series and all the complexity surrounding it—from the challenges taking on this out-of-the-box role to the show's depiction of the perplexing history of the relationship between Black Americans and police. When describing the opportunity to bring Edmund's character to life, Luke was overjoyed to show the audience yet another level of his masterful acting talents.
"It was like bathing in the sun," he said. "I was like, thank you! Another opportunity for me to be great—for me to expand my territory. I'm just elated to be a part of it and to see myself in a different light, something I didn't think I could do." He continued, "There are parts of you that says, 'Go for it because this is what you do.' But then also that's why it's a challenge because you're like, 'um, I don't know if I'm as free as I need to be to be able to do this.' Little Marvin just created such a safe space for me to be able to do this, and I'm grateful for everything I've been able to do to lead to this."

Them: The Scare, like the first season, shines a light on the plight of Black Americans in the United States. This time, the story is taking place in the 1990s, at the height of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. While the series presents many underlying themes, one that stands out is Black people and the complicated relationship with the police. "For the audience, I think it sets the tone for the era that we're in and the amount of chaos that's in the air in Los Angeles and around the country from this heinous incident. And I say it just sets the tone of the anxiety and anxiousness that everybody is feeling in their own households."
James has been a longtime advocate against police brutality himself. He has even featured Elijah McClain, the 23-year-old Colorado man who died after being forcibly detained by officers, as his Instagram avatar for the past five years. So, as you can imagine, this script was close to his heart. "Elijah was a soft-loving oddball. Different than anyone but loving and a musical genius. He was just open and wanted to be loved and seen."

Luke continued, "His life was taken from him. I resonate with his spirit and his words...through all the struggle and the pain he still found it in him to say, 'I love you and I forgive you.' And that's who we are as people—to our own detriment sometimes. He's someone I don't want people to forget. I have yet to remove his face from my world because I have yet to let go of his voice, let go of that being [because] there's so many people we have lost in our history that so often get forgotten."
He concluded, "I think that's the importance of such artwork that moves us to think and talk about it. Yes, it's entertaining. We get to come together and be spooked together. But then we come together and we think, 'Damn, Edmund needed someone to talk to. Edmund needed help... a lot [of] things could have been different. Edmund could have been saved.'
