Angel Reese, WNBA superstar of the Chicago Sky
ESPN (DR)

Along with Caitlin Clark and Cameron Brink, Angel Reese is one of the new attractions in the WNBA, one of the reasons behind the sudden media coverage of the league.

And fame comes with drawbacks, proof of which is this harassment scandal.

This WNBA season is perhaps the most publicized in the history of the league, which does not only bring good things.

The opposition between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese crystallizes many tensions, including racial ones, which takes away some of the pleasure of real fans.

And with fame usually comes other problems, as Reese and the Sky players have just discovered:

Finding the team hotel and showing up with a camera, then shoving it in my teammate’s face when we were getting off the bus, it’s harassment and it’s ugly. The situation is out of control and it must stop.

Big controversy in the WNBA with Angel Reese

When Angel Reese posted this message, many Internet users were concerned about the safety of the players.

Indeed, from the way in which the facts were described, one could have believed in a slightly disturbed fan or a malicious and intrusive journalist…

To defend himself, the accused man decided to publish the filmed images, and the reality seems very different from the testimonies.

So obviously, the paparazzi, who decided to defend himself by releasing the video of the interaction, only showed what he wanted, and there’s nothing to say that the situation didn’t get heated afterwards.

But in this sequence in any case, it is difficult to perceive the aggression described by Angel Reese and other Chicago players. We are rather in a classic on-the-fly interview with celebrities, which disturbs the fans.

Harassing my ass lol. WNBA players have a camera in front of them and suddenly they don’t want the media exposure…

It’s difficult to know who’s telling the truth and who’s saying it’s false, but this controversy doesn’t necessarily help the league’s image. For the moment, discussions about the WNBA revolve more around the extra-sporting side than the field, and that’s a shame.
