WNBA Drama! Angel Reese Accuses Ex-NFL QB of 'Lying' About Caitlin Clark Feud
The WNBA world is buzzing with drama after Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese accused former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Robert Griffin III of spreading lies about her feelings toward Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. The accusation stems from Griffin's recent social media posts addressing a racist image targeting Reese.
The Spark: Racist Imagery and Griffin's Response
The controversy ignited when a user-created racist Photoshopped image surfaced, depicting a monkey over Reese's image on what appeared to be "NBA 2K26" video game cover art. Griffin condemned the racist imagery on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "There is no place for racism in this world. Whether you like a player or not. Angel Reese should never be called or depicted as a monkey."
The Accusation: Reese Fires Back
However, Griffin's post took a controversial turn when he claimed that individuals within Reese's inner circle had contacted him to validate his criticism of her rivalry with Caitlin Clark. "People in Angel’s inner circle called me and told me I was right," Griffin stated.
Reese swiftly refuted Griffin's claim, accusing him of fabricating the story for attention. "Lying on this app when everybody knows the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work," Reese posted on X.
Bernice King Weighs In
Adding another layer to the situation, Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., also weighed in on the situation, responding to Griffin's comments on building bridges instead of walls. King suggested Griffin should directly contact Angel Reese rather than posting about her online.
Griffin Defends His Stance
Griffin defended his comments, reiterating that he did speak with people from Reese's inner circle. He emphasized that his initial post was intended to support Reese against racism and not to instigate drama. The back-and-forth continues to fuel the already intense rivalry between Reese and Clark, captivating fans and sparking debate across social media.
The WNBA has not released an official statement regarding the matter.
