WNBA star Angel Reese addressed online critics head-on after facing backlash over swimsuit selfies posted to her social media. Refusing to apologize or change her personal brand, Reese pushed back against public commentary about how female athletes choose to present themselves outside of basketball.
Reese defended her right to share lifestyle content without facing unwanted ******* ual attention. She also said fame can make people forget that she is still a young woman dealing with the pressure of public life.
The comments came on "Unapologetically Angel," the podcast Reese hosts with co-host Maya Reese. The conversation started after co-host Maya Reese asked Angel for her take on people in the media and online who treat her confidence in her body as justification for ******* ualizing her.
Reese said she simply does not accept that logic. "I don't know what that means because I'm a beautiful woman, I've been posting pictures in my bikinis, I got a nice body, and I work hard for it," Reese said. "If I want to post a picture of my bikini, I should be able to without being ******* ualized where I'm saying I'm asking for it."
