Angel Reese deletes Instagram after fans savaged her revealing New Year’s Eve outfit
WNBA star Angel Reese appeared to have deleted her Instagram account after facing backlash over her New Year’s Eve party look.
The 22-year-old’s social media page was no longer available on Thursday morning when fans tried to click on the Chicago Sky forward’s former handle: @angelreese5.
Those who attempted to access her Instagram profile were greeted with a message apologizing that the page was no longer available and informing them that it may have been removed.
The mysterious disappearance of the page comes after fans brutally attacked the rising star over Reese’s eye-catching outfit on New Year’s Eve.
Reese turned heads with the bold look she chose to bid farewell to a successful 2024 and ring in 2025.
Before the clock struck midnight, Reese had shared a sultry selfie — which is still available on her active TikTok page — along with a few videos of her striking a pose.
Angel Reese opted for a bold, statement dress to ring in the new year this week
The 6-foot-2 star with hoops dazzled in a mocha-colored, long animal print dress, decorated with ruffles and an extremely high slit at the legs.
What really caught fans’ attention, however, was the bold design of the figure-hugging dress.
The dress shocked fans with a cutout in the center part that reached below her belly button and was barely tied together with a thin brown string.
While some fans raved about the breathtaking outfit, calling Reese “beautiful” and “gorgeous,” others weren’t so complimentary.
After LSU’s 94-87 loss to Iowa in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament last year, Reese had claimed she endured off-court misery, including sexualization.
“I’m just trying to stay strong,” she told reporters. ‘I’ve been through so much. I’ve seen so much. I’ve been attacked so many times. Death threats, I’ve been sexualized, I’ve been threatened. I’ve been so many things and I’ve stayed strong every time.
‘…I’m still human. “All this has happened since I won the national championship, and I said the other day, I haven’t been happy since.”
However, following her daring New Year’s Eve outfit, many fans called out Reese for her previous comments.
