The NBA appeared to have erased Steph Curry’s famous celebration photo with $900-an-hour escort Katherine Taylor, which infuriated fans.
On Wednesday, a photo of Curry mimicking a golf swing went viral—but not for the four-time NBA champion, but rather for Taylor, who was seen in the background wearing skimpy attire.
The NBA shared a picture of the celebration on social media that evening. Fans, however, claimed that Taylor had been “edited” out of the photo by the NBA because she was not in the frame.
The NBA was called “cowards” by one user. One person asked that they “Post the real photo” in the meanwhile.
No, you’re all mistaken about the crop. Another person said, “Give that girl her screen time haha.”
It was demonstrated by another comment that Taylor was not removed from the photo by the NBA. Curry covers Taylor out of the frame at an alternate viewpoint that they chose.
A man in the front row is seen in the widely shared photo ignoring Curry and swiveling his upper body to look at Taylor, all while maintaining a wide perspective. The same man can be seen watching Curry exult in the NBA photo that was uploaded.
The user commented, “I wonder what the guy in blue is looking at.”
Taylor, an escort from San Francisco who charges $900 for one-hour sessions on her website, said on Thursday that she is the one behind the photo’s global success.
Reposting a picture of the party on X, where she is pictured in the back, Taylor waxed poetic over the occasion.
As you can see, it was the best date of her life, she wrote. “F**k me, please remember to dress fully the next time.” What an absolute blast.
Afterwards, she wrote: “Well, that was enjoyable.” To all the journalists, including you at Barstool Sports, I don’t believe Twitter removes users for posting controversial content. Perhaps? Let’s give it a shot and see. They don’t, but I have actually tried it. Furthermore, dude.
Then she said, “Being in the same room as Steph Curry as a woman is terrifying.” I wasn’t even looking at the guy when I caught smoke, f***,” she said, adding, “And if you’re hotter than average, please just stay out of Steph Curry’s room.” since you’ll become a meme.
After a user shared a cropped picture of the man in the front row, showing how he gazed at her while seated next to two boys who many assumed to be his sons, Taylor also made jokes about him.
“You’re going to file for divorce from this man,” Taylor joked in a follow-up tweet. “His wife is going to return home with the kids, dog, and hat, haha.”
The photo was taken during Golden State’s crushing 125-90 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. With 29 points, eight rebounds, and five assists, Curry helped the Dubs win.
The Warriors dropped to 33-29 on Thursday after falling 125-122 to the Chicago Bulls. They are currently seventh in the Western Conference.
