“She doesn’t know how to share the spotlight” — Angel Reese FIRES BACK after Robert Griffin III accuses her of HATING Caitlin Clark—her cryptic response sends fans into a frenzy and leaves Griffin scrambling to clarify his words

 

The court rivalry has spilled far beyond the game. When Robert Griffin III claimed Angel Reese harbored deep resentment toward Caitlin Clark, he likely didn’t expect the viral backlash—or Reese’s quiet but pointed clapback. Without naming names, she posted a cryptic message that lit up social media, and fans immediately connected the dots. Was it a denial? A warning? Or something more calculated? Now the sports world is torn, and the debate is raging louder than ever. Did Griffin go too far—or did Reese finally say what others were afraid to?

See the post that reignited the fire—tap now before the comment thread gets wiped.

In this story:

A bitter social media feud appears to be brewing after Chicago Sky star Angel Reese seemed to respond to former ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III’s controversial post on Thursday.

Griffin wrote a lengthy message on X (formerly known as Twitter) denouncing the racist rhetoric that has been used—mostly by online trolls—toward Reese this WNBA season. In his tweet, Griffin claimed he was in contact with some people in Reese’s “inner circle” who told him Reese has “grown to hate Caitlin Clark.”

“People in Angel’s inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her,” Griffin wrote.

Hours later, Reese appeared to fire back at Griffin to set the record straight:

“lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work,” Reese wrote on X.

Reese’s mom also called out Griffin for his alleged claim about Reese and Clark.

“Man stop with the [cap],” Reese’s mom wrote on X. “My daughter’s ‘circle’ is so small & tight so I’d be interested 2 know who called U … Whomever U say ‘called’ U is not in her circle 2 speak on her feelings towards a media/fandom made up beef. Just stay on that side bc the doors are closed over here.”

Though Griffin may have had good intentions with his anti-racism post, it seems Reese doesn’t appreciate him spreading lies about how she feels toward her WNBA rival in Clark.

Hopefully, this all blows over soon and the focus can shift back to basketball. Reese and the Sky (6-13) are slated to host the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday, while Clark and the Fever (9-10) will host the Atlanta Dream on Friday night.
