Last year, Angel Reese had social media buzzing when she revealed she paid $8,000 in rent, and her WNBA salary wasn’t enough to live on as she made her way through her first year in the league.
Reese opened up about her financial situation during an Instagram Live, claiming, “Hating pays my bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills.
Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at [in Chicago]. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my [WNBA] salary.”
She clarified that her WNBA salary is not enough to cover her expenses, but she can afford her lifestyle through endorsements and her social media activities.
She made quite a lot after participating in the “Unrivaled” 3-on-3 league, where her team won the championship.
Whatever Angel Reese touches turns to gold eventually.
Now, it appears that social media thinks she has turned to another avenue to make money.
On X, formerly Twitter, an account called “Logion Noops (@LogionNoops)” posted an alleged screenshot of an OnlyFans page with Reese’s name on it. The bio read, “WNBA check ain’t enough…so here we are.”
Angel Reese Has Been A Dominant Force Since Returning From Injury
Two-time Chicago Sky All-Star power forward Angel Reese is getting close to being unstoppable.
The WNBA playoff door has already closed on the Chicago Sky, but their biggest star isn’t going through the motions to close out the regular season.
Reese returned to Chicago Sky action on August 19, after a 7-game absence for a back injury.
She has shot over 50% in all three games since her return and has two double-doubles.
Angel Reese has 51 points, 28 rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 20-32 from the field.
Reese had missed the Sky’s last seven games, and nine of their 11 contests, but she is playing like someone who has missed zero time on the court.
The losses might be stacking up, but it is only a matter of time before things turn around in the Windy City.
Angel Reese had a bad gesture toward Candace Parker whe she ‘refused’ to wear her shirt in her retirement celebration
While all of the Chicago Sky players wore the shirt, it was nnoticeable that Reese was not
Chicago Sky top scorer and forward Angel Reese was in the news last week after allegedly refusing to wear a team-issued shirt in recognition of Candace Parker’s retirement ceremony.
All Sky players were supposed to wear the shirt, which was decorated with Parker’s No. 3 jersey number as part of pregame warm-up, but Reese was seen covering hers, an incident that did not pass unnoticed.
Angel Reese slays proving she’s more than basketball
The two-time WNBA MVP and Chicago Sky icon Candace Parker recently confirmed her retirement, with her teammates giving her a warm goodbye. At the ceremony, every player received special shirts to commemorate Parker’s time with the team. However, Reese did not wear the shirt, and fans and commentators were left wondering why.
This action comes after a prior strained relationship between Parker and Reese. Several weeks ago, Parker publicly ranked Reese in the “C-Tier” of WNBA players, and Reese subtly fired back on social media with a post interpreted as a shot directed at Parker.
A very noisy public reaction
Reese’s action has divided the WNBA fan base. While some have justified her action based on an athlete’s freedom of speech, others viewed it as an insult to Parker, a legend of women’s basketball. Social media also had its share of mixed responses coming from an empathetic acknowledgment of Reese’s try to fight criticism, with some others viewing her action as “disrespectful” towards the retired legend.
Experts say that while such incidents like this make headlines, they also raise the issue of team chemistry. Whether Parker and Reese can enhance their working relationship in the future would influence the morale and performance of the team for the rest of the season.
Reese held his tongue regarding the retirement of Parker’s jersey in public, and the gate is still left open to welcome every speculation. Fans debate and wait to determine whether the subsequent events with the players or official team announcements clarify matters. In the meantime, fans continue talking about respect, competition, and individual freedom in professional sport.
