“She didn’t just embarrass me—she cost me everything” – Caitlin Clark under FIRE after SHOCKING remark about Lexie Hull’s “SMELL” reportedly KILLS major endorsement deal, sparking BACKLASH and questions about jealousy, sabotage, and what really happened behind closed doors

 

What was supposed to be a career milestone for Lexie Hull took a nasty turn after an offhanded—and deeply personal—comment from Caitlin Clark made its way into the spotlight. Multiple sources say the remark, allegedly mocking Hull’s scent, derailed a high-profile endorsement deal just hours before it was finalized. Was it a joke taken too far? Or something more vindictive? As the fallout grows louder, insiders say this feud runs deeper than anyone realized—and it may just be the tip of something uglier.

See what really went down—and why this could change everything between them.

Caitlin Clark quickly brought Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull back down to earth after she claimed to smell great all day due to her partnership with Salt & Stone deodorant.

Hull has apparently secured a deal with the brand and took to TikTok to promote it this week, claiming that, since she started using the deo, she smells just as good at the end of practice as she does at the beginning.

“Say hello to my new favorite deodorant! @SALT & STONE has the perfect Bergamot scent, keeping me fresh all day. Have you tried it yet? #saltandstonepartner,” she captioned the clip.

Check it out below:

Clark was among the people in the comments and called her teammate out for lying.

 

“No you don’t 😂 you smell awful,” she wrote.

“Girl she’s just trying to get her bag 😭,” another user pointed out.

“You messin with her bag lmao,” another laughed.

“Smh … I’ve had obnoxious friends just like this 😵,” someone else claimed once a screenshot made it to X.

Caitlin Clark’s Pretend Insult Might Work In Lexie Hull’s Favor

With friends like Caitlin Clark, who needs enemies?

Still, Lexie Hull might actually come off better for this. Clark’s comment, though insulting, has opened her ad up to eyes who may not have seen it otherwise.

Meanwhile, the former Iowa star remains sidelined with a groin injury. She’s missed 15 of Indiana’s 27 games this season and will sit out this Friday’s game against the Dallas Wings.

The team has been winning games without Clark in the lineup, leaving them even more inclined to keep her out as they take the cautious route.

According to ESPN’s Holly Rowe, the Fever will not repeat the mistake of rushing her back this time around, as they previously didn’t allow her to get back to her rhythm in practice after her first groin issue.
