Jeff Teague Breaks Silence on Charleston White’s Controversial Angel Reese CommentsLAPRESSE
The sports world was buzzing this week after comments made on the Club 520 podcast sparked controversy involving WNBA star Angel Reese. While Jeff Teague and his co-hosts had nothing but positive words for the Chicago Sky forward, actor Charleston White’s remarks crossed a line, drawing sharp backlash on social media.
The controversial moment occurred during a live episode of the podcast, where White made comments about Reese that were widely criticized for being inappropriate. Following the uproar, Teague felt compelled to address the situation in hopes of clarifying the podcast’s stance and protecting Reese’s reputation.

“We had great times with Angel Reese,”Teague said during the next episode. “She’s cool people. We don’t even look at her like that. We see her as a little sister, a little homie.”Teague explained that under normal circumstances, the segment would have been cut during editing, but because the episode aired live, it made it to the public.
Reese, known for her fearless attitude both on and off the court, took a subtler approach to respond. Instead of releasing a direct statement about the situation, she retweeted a post she originally shared in April, urging fans to support women in sports. The timing of the retweet seemed to align with the controversy, though Reese did not mention White or the podcast directly.
Angel Reese balances criticism, branding, and basketball with poise
The Chicago Sky forward is no stranger to public scrutiny. Drafted seventh overall, Reese has faced both praise and criticism for her unapologetic confidence and her willingness to branch out into fashion and branding opportunities. While White’s remarks targeted her growing presence in the fashion world, Reese remains focused on expanding her brand while staying dedicated to her basketball career.
Teague expressed regret that the incident overshadowed the podcast’s intent. “We have nothing but love for Angel Reese,” he reiterated. “She’s a phenomenal player and an even better person.”

Although there are still five months to go until the start of the 2025 WNBA season, Caitlin Clark can’t wait any longer. The Indiana Fever guard has made the most of her first offseason, but a recent comment on Instagram made it clear that she is eager to return to the court.
Clark had an exceptional first year as a professional. Not only did she break several rookie and overall records, but she was also a key piece in the team’s return to the postseason after an eight-year absence.
After being eliminated in the first round of playoffs, the former Iowa Hawkeye dedicated herself to enjoying a well-deserved rest, attending several college basketball games, NBA games, and even some NFL games. However, a Fever Instagram post reignited the competitive fire in Clark.
