Angel Reese: From Anti-Sexualization Advocate to Hypocrite? Exploring the Twerking Controversy
SCANDAL ROCKS WNBA: Angel Reese's Twerking Video Sparks Fury and Hypocrisy Accusations
The world of professional sports has been left reeling after a racy video of Angel Reese, star player for the Chicago Sky, went viral on social media. The footage, which appears to have been filmed during an episode of her podcast "Unapologetically Angel," shows Reese twerking with rapper 'Sexyy Red' in a sensual and provocative manner.
The video has sparked outrage among fans, who are pointing out the stark contrast between Reese's current behavior and comments she made just last year about being sexualized in women's basketball. In a heart-wrenching interview after her college team's defeat to Iowa in March 2024, Reese tearfully revealed that she had been subjected to online abuse, including death threats and unwanted attention from fans.
"I've been through so much," she confessed, her voice trembling with emotion. "I've seen so much. I've been attacked so many times, death threats. I've been sexualized. I've been threatened. I've been so many things, and I've stood strong every single time."
However, it appears that Reese's stance on the issue has undergone a dramatic shift. The viral video of her twerking with 'Sexyy Red' has left fans stunned and outraged, with many taking to social media to express their disgust.
"Angel Reese is a hypocrite," one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "She says she hates being sexualized in sports, but here she is getting it on camera. Gross. Get some class, ladies!"
Another commenter pointed out the stark hypocrisy: "Meanwhile Angel Reese 'I hate when men sexualize me'... Well well well... Looks like she's not as opposed to it as she claimed."
The backlash against Reese has been swift and merciless, with fans calling her out for her apparent double standard.
"Zero class," one fan wrote. "She has obviously never heard or understood the word 'hypocrite'. But she really should look it up."
Some fans have even taken a more sarcastic tone, pointing out that Reese's words and actions are at odds with each other.
"Wait don't sexualize her guys! She wants to be respected," one fan joked. "It seems like Angel Reese has no idea what the word 'hypocrite' means."
The scandal has left fans questioning whether Reese's behavior is a reflection of her true values or just a desperate attempt to gain attention and publicity.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the WNBA star will respond to the backlash. Will she address the accusations head-on or try to brush them off? One thing is certain – the world of professional sports has been left talking about Angel Reese's racy video, and it won't be forgetting anytime soon.
