Angel Reese denies having beef with Caitlin Clark, but she is not letting her fans off the hook.
Reese said what she wanted to say in her podcast debut on Thursday, all at the expense of Caitlin Clark fans.
In the first episode of her podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” the WNBA Rookie of the Year contender was asked about her relationship with Caitlin Clark as she reflected on the moment her interactions with Clark really began to ramp up.
It began when Angel Reese made the celebratory gesture of pointing her ring finger in Clark’s face during the final minutes of Reese’s and LSU’s NCAA title win over Clark and Iowa in the 2023 championship game.
Reese says it was a moment that “changed my life forever” as she called out her fan base for taking things too far.
“I think it’s really just the fans, her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans, that are really just, they ride for her, and I respect that, respectfully. But sometimes it’s very disrespectful. I think there’s a lot of racism when it comes to it,” Reese said.
Angel Reese further added she got death threats and people showing up at her home.
“People have come down to my address, followed me home, it’s come down to that,” Reese said.
The Chicago Sky talented rookie also alleges that some fans have made AI-generated images of her, depicting her as completely nude, and sent them all to her family members.
“Multiple occasions, people have made AI-images of me naked. They have sent it to my family members. My family members are like uncles, sending it to me like, ‘Are you naked on Instagram?’” Reese said. “It sucks having to go through that and see other players have to go through that.”
Clark has rapidly become the biggest name in women’s basketball, which has been great for attendance and ratings, but the discourse around her can sometimes be quite toxic.
Things even got so bad that Caitlin denounced fans using her name to push bigoted agendas involving her opponents, per The Athletic.
Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have been at the forefront of the bad attention paid to Clark, most notably after Chennedy Carter hit Clark with a shoulder check, and Reese was viewed standing and clapping from the bench.
That situation led to one person taking it further by harassing Carter at a team hotel.

Caitlin Clark Fired Up: See the viral video of Aliyah Boston’s intense training that has fans buzzing
The Indiana star was swept away by the excitement of seeing her teammate on the offseason grind.
Caitlin Clark (L) and Aliyah Boston are the Indiana Fever’s dynamic duo.
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.
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.
Aliyah Boston ignited Caitlin Clark
In a recent Instagram clip, the Fever showed forward/center Aliyah Boston working out on the court with a trainer. The clip is only a couple of minutes long, but you can see that Boston is taking her upcoming debut with Vinyl BC in the 3×3 Unrivaled league very seriously.
Boston’s intense work inspired Clark, who responded by saying, “GOT ME FIRED UP.” Acknowledging Clark’s enthusiasm, Boston replied, “AS YOU SHOULD BE.” Clark wasn’t the only one. Teammate, guard Lexie Hull, also responded to the video by saying, “Yes, ma’am.”
Meanwhile, the team captioned the post, “On the offseason grind with Aliyah Boston at Worcester Academy.” However, Clark, Boston, and Hull still have plenty of offseason left. The 2025 WNBA season kicks off on May 16, and Indiana will be in action on the 17th, hosting Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky.
