-- Tom Brady has been praised for his beer-chugging talent and he showed off his skills at the Patriots Super Bowl ring ceremony on Thursday night.
Tristan Warkentin made the remark on June 2 after the Raptors lost to the Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Steph Curry scored 23 points in the game.
When the reporter asked Warkentin what it was like to be in the crowd during the game, he responded, "The vibe was unreal and I just want to let everyone know Ayesha Curry we're gonna f--k her right in the p--sy."
Toronto Police say Warkentin was arrested for criminal mischief since he was aware his comments would air on live TV.
Warkentin said he’s been receiving death threats and told the Toronto Sun, "I’m not in a position to defend myself in terms of what happened. I am sure you understand the influence of alcohol."
He plans to apologize to Ayesha Curry and said, "What I did was disgraceful; it was an alcohol-influenced situation ... To be honest I don’t even remember being there but I am responsible for my own actions at the end of the day.”
