Angel Reese<\/a>\u00a0recently discussed the abuse she\u2019s had to endure amid her WNBA rookie season, thanks to fans of\u00a0Caitlin Clark<\/a>.<\/p>\n The first-year stars are locked in a rivalry at the moment, whether they want to be or not. They have both said on multiple occasions that there\u2019s zero animosity between them, yet Reese claims she has been dealing with a lot because Clark\u2019s fans refuse to leave her alone.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Chicago Sky<\/a>\u00a0forward made it clear that the former Iowa star has nothing to do with the racism and abuse she has been facing, but fans have been taking things way too far in showing support for the\u00a0Indiana Fever<\/a>\u00a0guard.<\/p>\n \u201cCaitlin is an amazing player and I\u2019ve always thought she was an amazing player. We\u2019ve been playing each other since high school,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Reese said<\/a>\u00a0during the first episode of her new podcast \u2018Unapologetically Angel.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think it\u2019s really just the fans \u2014 her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans \u2014 that are, like, they ride for her and I respect that, respectfully, but sometimes it\u2019s very disrespectful. I think there\u2019s a lot of racism when it comes to it and I don\u2019t believe she stands on any of that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Angel Reese says some Caitlin Clark fans have been racist toward her, sent her death threats, created fake naked AI pictures of her to send to her family members, and have even followed her home at times \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n (\ud83c\udfa5 @angelreeseshow<\/a> \/ https:\/\/t.co\/oza3KBQkWQ<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/pCL0b0jISw<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) September 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
